Description
M-CERAMIC 100 - Epoxy Ceramic Putty
Is formulated using the latest solvent free epoxy technology, enhanced further with the addition of high-quality silicone carbide ceramic fillers.
Designed principally for rebuilding worn pump components suffering material loss due to erosion, corrosion and cavitation.
M-CERAMIC 100 – Epoxy Ceramic Putty provides long-term protection for Fluid-Flow Equipment. The product can also be utilised in Pneumatic and Conveyor Systems.
Typical Uses
- Rebuild Pump Impellers, Casings & Cutwaters
- Repair Ship Rudders, Bow thrusters & Kort Nozzles
- Repair Heat Exchanger Tube Sheets
- Fan Casings and Fan Blades
- Internal Pipe Protection
- Rebuild Conveyor Screws
Application Guide
- All oil and grease must be removed from the surface using an appropriate cleaner such as 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.
- 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:
- The base component is at a temperature between 15-25°C.
- 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 5:1 by weight.
- When mixing both materials, it is particularly important to have a uniform grey paste that is streak free.
- Once mixing is complete, use the mixed paste as soon possible.
Use all mixed material within 20-25 minutes at 20°C.
- Using a spatula or applicator tool apply the material to the prepared repair area.
- Ensure the product is pressed into any holes, scars or cracks.
- Once the repair has been completed smooth off any imperfections using a gloved hand with a little water.
