Maxkote M-Metal 100 epoxy repair putty, engineering grade is used to repair metal components suffering material loss due to mechanical damage, erosion, corrosion or wear.

M-METAL 100 exhibits superior bond strength to grit-blasted surfaces but can also be used on manually prepared repairs areas.The product can be applied up to 20mm in a single application without shrinking. Once cured M-METAL 100 can be drilled tapped machined or sanded to suit the repair profile.

Surface Preperation

Grit Blast:

• All oil and grease must be removed from the surface using an appropriate cleaner such 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.

PLEASE NOTE: For salt contaminated surfaces the substrate must be pressure washed with clean water and checked for salt contamination, please refer to the surface preparation and pre-application guide for further information.

Manual:

• All oil and grease must be removed from the surface using an appropriate cleaner such as MEK.
• All 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

Application Method:

• 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.
