HIGH TEMPERATURE CERAMIC - METALLIC PASTES

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.

All products should be mixed thoroughly to a uniform consistency


prior to use. Product viscosities may be reduced by adding a
maximum of 5-10% by weight of the appropriate thinner. Thinner
may be ordered by adding a -T to the product number (eg. 653-T).

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

All surfaces must be free of oil, grease, dirt, corrosives or other


contaminants before application. Porous metal castings should
be baked at high temperature to burn off embedded oils. Smooth
metal surfaces should be abrasive blasted with a coarse media
to a minimum SP-10 near white blast (0.001 minimum profile) for
best results.

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

Unopened containers have a six month shelf life when stored at


room temperature. Make sure opened containers are capped
securely to prevent evaporation. Place a plastic film in between
the cap and container to prevent air leakage. The container may
be inverted periodically to minimize settling. Store container
between 40 F and 90 F.

The following instructions are guidelines for curing. Alternative cure


times may be appropriate depending on the size of the application.

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.

Read Material Safety Data Sheet carefully before using any of


the above products. Prolonged skin contact should be avoided
due to possible irritation. In the uncured state, materials can be
washed from the skin with a mild soap and water. If any material
contacts eyes, flush continuously with water or neutralizing
solutions, then consult a physician immediately.

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.
