Technical Bulletin A3
Pyro-Putty High Temperature Ceramic-Metallic Putties are used to seal joints and repair
defects in cast aluminum, cast iron, steel and stainless steel. Formulated using the most
advanced organic and inorganic-ceramic resin technologies, these advanced materials resist
temperatures to 2000 F. Applications for Pyro-Putty are widespread and found typically in the
aerospace, automotive, foundry, heat treating, incineration and power generation industries.

APPLICATION PROCEDURES
Mixing
Pyro-Putty 1000:
1) A heat cure is not required for cross-sections less than 1/8
thick. Air dry at room temperature for a minimum of 2-4 hours
prior to use.
2) A heat cure is recommended for cross-sections greater than
1/8 thick Air dry at room temperature for a minimum of 2-4
hours, then heat cure at 160 F for 1-2 hours.
3) After curing, this product can be sanded to achieve a bright
aluminum appearance.
Pyro-Putty 1500:
1) This product dries at room temperature and cures in service
at the operating temperature of the equipment.
Surface Preparation
A
3
The mix ratio for Pyro-Putty 1000 is 2.0 parts powder to 1.0-1.5 parts
liquid. This ratio will produce the consistency of a thick paste. PyroPutty 1000 will outgas slightly after mixing and it is recommended
that the mixture be limited to the amount required for a specific
application. Store mixed material at room temperature in a plastic
container that is approximately twice the mixture volume. Allow to
outgas for 24 hours. Remix contents thoroughly prior to use. Note that
mixture will not begin to harden in a closed container for over 24 hours.
Hardening will initiate when mixture is removed from container and
exposed to air.
Application
Pyro-Putty products may be applied using a spatula, putty knife
or caulk gun. For cross-sections greater than 1/8 - 1/4 multiple
applications should be made to avoid blistering. Cross-sections
for all products should not exceed 1/2 - 3/4 (3/8 maximum for
Pyro-Putty 2400).
Pyro-Putty 2400:
1) Air dry at room temperature for a minimum of 5-7 hours,
longer for thick cross-sections.
2) A heat cure is not required if the use temperature exceeds
400 F. Otherwise, heat cure at 200 F for 3 hours.
Pyro-Putty 2500:
1) Air dry at room temperature for a minimum of 1 hour, longer
for thick cross-sections.
2) Heat cure at 200 F for 2 hours or air dry at room temperature
for 16 hours prior to use.
Storage
Curing
Safety
Pyro-Putty 653:
1) Air dry for 2 hours at room temperature and up to 4 hours for
thick cross-sections.
2) Heat cure at 200 F for 3 hours.
3) For multiple applications, air set for 1-2 hours between coats,
then heat cure at 200 F for 3-4 hours after the last coat.
Pyro-Putty 950:
1) This product can be cured in service at the operating
temperature of the equipment.
2) For curing before service, heat cure the joint without pressure
at 400 F for 30-60 minutes or 225 F for 4-6 hours.
