Description
CORDOBOND Steel Putty is a two-component, high-strength repair material, consisting of resin plus reinforcing filler and activator. When the activator is added to the resin, an exothermic reaction takes place that produces a progressively thicker paste of putty-like consistency.
CORDOBOND Steel Putty, when cured, can be drilled threaded, machined, filed or hack-sawed.
Physical Properties
CORDOBOND Steel Putty has excellent impact strength and dimensional stability. Abrasion and corrosion resistant, it is not affected by moderately high or sub-zero temperatures. CORDOBOND Steel Putty requires no external heat to cure. It sets up in the presence of water, oil, gasoline and other liquids.
Applications
CORDOBOND Steel Putty can be used in every phase of industry including marine, refineries, public utilities, farming and chemical.
CORDOBOND Steel Putty adheres tenaciously to steel and other metals. It easily repairs fine cracks in bulkheads, tanks, flanges, etc.
CORDOBOND Steel Putty can be used to plug eroded bolt holes and, after hardening, can be drilled and re-tapped. Or, bolt holes may be plugged and, before the Steel Putty has hardened, a stud bolt can be coated with releasing agent and inserted into the putty. After hardening, the bolt can be easily backed out leaving a perfectly threaded hole.
Sand holes or voids that often appear in casting after machining, can easily be filled in with CORDOBOND Steel Putty and machined or dressed leaving a sound and satisfactory appearance.
Errors made in lay-outs have been corrected by plugging and re-drilling of holes.
If both sides of a casting or plating are accessible, a button rivet head that can withstand practically unlimited pressure is easily formed by hand molding.
General Patching Conditions
Clean all surfaces thoroughly, removing all paint, grease, dirt, etc. The adhesion of a CORDOBOND Steel Putty repair depends upon the condition of the surface of the substrate with which it is in contact.
Do not mix resin and activator until actually ready to use. Resin container is slack filled to permit addition of Activator for mixing.
Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Use rubber gloves, goggles and protective clothing. Follow the safety instructions given in data sheet entitled, "Hazards and Handling Precautions Bulletin for CORDOBOND Systems."
