Description
M-METAL 200 - Metal Epoxy Liquid - Standard Cure
Is a 2-part Metal Epoxy Liquid that when mixed together provides a smooth pour-able epoxy fluid.
The mixed material is ideally suited for repair such as Resurfacing Head and Tail Rollers or Filling Pitting Corrosion on steel and other metal surfaces etc.….
Once mixed, the material can be applied up to a maximum film thickness of 3.0mm without slumping. Whilst the product is still wet aluminium oxide aggregates may be added to create tough anti-slip finishes.
The normal application method is by short bristled brush, plastic applicator, or spatula. Once cured M-METAL 200 – Metal Epoxy Liquid can be drilled tapped, machined, or sanded to achieve the desired profile of the repair.
Typical Uses
- Filling pitting corrosion
- Resurfacing worn Pump Housings
- Scored Hydraulic Rams & Pistons
- Resurfacing Head & Tail Rollers
- As an Anti-slip System for Steel Steps & Walkways
Application Guide
- All oil and grease must be removed from the surface using an appropriate cleaner such MEK or similar type solvent.
- All surfaces must be abrasive blasted to ISO 8501/4 Standard SA2.5 (SSPC SP10/ NACE 2) minimum blast profile of 75 microns using an angular.
- Once blast cleaned, the surface must be degreased and cleaned using MEK or similar type solvent.
- All surfaces must be coated before gingering or oxidation.
- All oil and grease must be removed from the surface using an appropriate cleaner such as MEK.
- All surfaces must be mechanically abraded using handheld grinders to ISO 8501/4 ST3 (SSPC SP3 ST3).
- Once abraded, the surface must be degreased and cleaned using MEK or similar type material.
- All surfaces must be repaired before gingering or oxidation occurs.
Prior to mixing please ensure the following:
- Warm the Base component to 15-25°C before mixing
- Do not apply the material when the ambient or substrate temperature is below 5°C or less than 3°C above dew point.
- Mix both Part-A and part-B together in full units as supplied. For small quantities us a mixing ratio of: 3:1 by volume or 8:1 by weight
- When mixing both materials, it is very important to have a uniform colour that is streak free. Once mixing is complete, use the mixed paste as soon possible after mixing.
Use all mixed material within 20-25mins at 20°C.
- As a Fairing Coat for filling badly pitted or scarred surfaces apply the material using a rubber float across the repair surface ensuring the product is pressed into any holes or cracks. The maximum wet film thickness this material can be applied onto a vertical surface’s without sagging is 3mm.
- As an Anti-Slip Systems for conveyor rollers, steps, or ramps, apply the product to the surface at a wet film thickness of 500 microns and then broadcast a suitable aggregate onto the surface (Aluminium Oxide or equivalent). Once cured brush off any excess aggregate.
- As a Resurfacing material to repair worn or damaged surfaces the application should be carried out in two coats. The material must be applied at a target wet film thickness of 250 microns per coat.
- Minimum – the applied material can be over-coated as soon as it is touch dry.
- Maximum – the over-coating time should not exceed 6 hours.
Where the maximum over-coating time is exceeded, the material should be allowed to harden before being abraded or flash blasted to remove surface contamination.
