Using SpeedAlloy™QS 

Surface Preparation - METALCLAD SpeedAlloy™QS should be applied only to clean, dry and well roughened surfaces for maximum adhesion. Under field condition, perform the following steps as best as conditions permit. The better the surface preparation, the better the adhesion.

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: THIS IS AN EXTREMELY FAST SETTING SYSTEM. SPEEDALLOY™QS MUST BE MIXED AND APPLIED WITHIN 1 MINUTE.

Mixing and Application - For your convenience, the METALCLAD SpeedAlloy™QS Base and Activator have been supplied in precisely measured quantities to simplify mixing of full units. Should a small amount of material be required, measure out one part Base and one part Activator by volume (1:1 v:v) on a clean mixing surface. Keep Base and Activator separated until ready to mix and apply.

Using a spatula, putty knife or other appropriate tool, mix thoroughly until all streaks disappear, resulting in a uniform color and consistency. Apply to the area to be plugged or repaired as quickly as possible (within 1 minute). Once the leak is stopped, a long-term repair can be made using standard SpeedAlloy™ or DurAlloy™ over the SpeedAlloy™ QS.

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.

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