Easy Mixing and ApplicationWith a convenient 1:1 resin-to-hardener mix ratio and a working time of 30 minutes, this putty is straightforward to use. The hand-mix application ensures no special tools are needed, making it accessible for both routine maintenance and emergency repairs. Its paste form enables easy spreading and precise placement, even on vertical surfaces.
Outstanding Resistance and Safety FeaturesThis industrial-grade epoxy putty features high mechanical strength and can withstand compressive loads up to 75 N/mm2. Its water and corrosion resistance make it perfect for harsh environments, while its solvent-free, zero-VOC formula and low odor ensure user safety during application. After curing, it can operate at temperatures up to 120C and be machined or drilled as required.
FAQ's of Loctite Stainless Steel Putty:
Q: How do I prepare and apply Loctite Stainless Steel Putty?
A: Clean and roughen the damaged or worn surface for optimal adhesion. Mix equal parts of resin and hardener (1:1 ratio) by hand until the color is uniform. Apply the putty directly to the area using a spatula or gloved fingers, shaping as needed within the 30-minute working time before it starts to cure.
Q: What types of repairs is this putty best suited for?
A: This putty is ideal for industrial repairs of stainless steel pipes, tanks, pumps, valves, castings, and a range of equipment that require rebuilding, crack-filling, or sealing. It's specifically formulated for metal surfaces but also adheres to concrete and ceramics.
Q: When is the repaired area ready for use after applying the putty?
A: Loctite Stainless Steel Putty fully cures and reaches maximum strength within 8-12 hours at 25C. Avoid subjecting the repair to high stresses or loads until the putty has completely hardened.
Q: Where can this product be applied, and is it safe for confined spaces?
A: It can be applied wherever industrial metal repairs are needed, including on-site or in workshops, and is suitable for use in enclosed environments due to its low odor and zero VOC content.
Q: What are the primary benefits of using this epoxy putty over traditional welding or adhesives?
A: Key advantages include solvent-free formulation, low odor, high mechanical and corrosion resistance, excellent water resistance, zero VOCs, and the ability to machine, drill, or tap the cured surface. It offers a convenient, non-welding alternative for complex or sensitive repairs.
Q: Is Loctite Stainless Steel Putty resistant to chemicals and high temperatures?
A: Yes, this putty provides high chemical resistance and performs well in aggressive environments. It withstands continuous temperatures up to 120C, making it suitable for many industrial applications.
