Using SpeedAlloy™

Surface Preparation - METALCLAD SpeedAlloy™ should be applied only to clean, dry and well roughened surfaces.

1. Remove all loose material and surface contamination and clean with a suitable solvent which leaves no residue on the surface after evaporation such as acetone, MEK, isopropyl alcohol, etc.

2. If necessary, apply moderate heat to remove ingrained oil and clean again with solvent.

3. Roughen surface by abrasive blasting, grinding, rotary file or other appropriate means.

Note: In situations where adhesion is not desired, such as when making molds and patterns or to ease future disassembly, apply a suitable release agent (mold release compound, paste wax, etc.) to the appropriate surfaces.

Mixing and Application - For your convenience, the METALCLAD SpeedAlloy™ Base and Activator have been supplied in precisely measured, convenient ‘A packs’ to simplify mixing.

To use this unique ‘A pack’, remove the divider and mix in the envelope until streak free. Then, cut one corner of the envelope and squeeze the mixed SpeedAlloy™ out onto the repair area.

Using an appropriate tool, apply the mixed SpeedAlloy™ to the prepared surface, pressing firmly to insure intimate contact and eliminate any air pockets at the bond line or within the material.

In all cases, work quickly and deliberately, since SpeedAlloy™ is a fast system.

Some applications such as holed pipes or tanks and cracked casings may require the use of ENECON® Reinforcement Tape to bridge the damaged area(s) followed by the application of additional material to completely cover the Reinforcement Tape.

Health and Safety - Every effort is made to insure that ENECON^® products are as simple and safe to use as possible. Normal industry standards and practices for housekeeping, cleanliness and personal protection should be observed.

Please refer to the detailed MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEETS (MSDS) supplied with the material (also available on request) for more information.

Cleaning Equipment - Wipe excess material from tools immediately. Use acetone, MEK, isopropyl alcohol or similar solvent as needed.
