METALLIC PUTTIES
ALUMINIUM PUTTY
Aluminium Putty is a two-part epoxy system, heavily reinforced with
Aluminium powder. Ideal for repairing Aluminium parts or where an
Aluminium finish is desired.
ADVANTAGES:
o Won't sag or shrink - can be applied to overhead and vertical
surfaces.
o Conforms to odd shapes.
o Easy to mix and use - rebuilds worn parts fast.
o Reduces downtime.
o Forms a non-rusting Aluminium-like finish.
o Superior adhesion - forms a solid bond.
RECOMMENDED APPLICATIONS:
o Repairing Aluminium castings
o Repairing wornout Aluminium parts
o Making models and jigs for holding odd shaped parts
o Making Aluminium dies

Directions for use :
o Clean and roughen the application surface. Grit blast or grind for
best adhesion. (Note : A mould release should be used on
surfaces where adhesion is not desired.)
o Mix the material thoroughly until a uniform colour is obtained.
o Apply completely mixed material to prepared surface.
TECHNICAL TIPS FOR WORKING WITH EPOXIES
Working time and cure time depends on temperature and mass:
o Higher the temperature, Faster the cure.
o Larger the mass of material mixed, faster the cure.
To speed up the cure of epoxies at low temperatures:
o Store epoxy at room temperature.
o Pre-heat surface under repairs, until warm to the touch.
To slow down the cure of epoxies at high temperatures:
o Mix epoxy in small masses to prevent rapid curing.
Shelf life : One year if stored under recommended conditions of storage
Warning :
May cause burns to eyes and skin.May be harmful if swallowed.Do not take internally.
In case of eye contacts, wash thoroughly with water and consult doctor.
