Mixed Viscosity Putty

Surface 1. Thoroughly clean the surface with Devcon® Cleaner Blend 300 to remove all oil, grease, and dirt.
Preparation:
2. Grit blast surface area with 8-40 mesh grit, or grind with a coarse wheel or abrasive disc pad, to create increased
surface area for better adhesion (Caution: An abrasive disc pad can only be used provided white mesh is revealed).
Desired profile is 3-5mil, including defined edges (do not ‘feather-edge” epoxy).

Note: For metals exposed to sea water or other salt solution, grit-blast and high-pressure-water-blast the area, then leave
overnight to allow any salts in the metal to “sweat” to the surface. Repeat blasting to “sweat out” all soluble salts. Perform
chloride contamination test to determine soluble salt content (should be no more than 40ppm).

3. Clean surface again with Cleaner Blend 300 to remove all traces of oil, grease, dust, or other foreign substances from
the grit blasting.

4. Repair surface as soon as possible to eliminate any changes or surface contaminants.

WORKING CONDITIONS: Ideal application temperature is 55°F to 90°F. In cold working conditions, heat repair area to
100-110°F immediately prior to applying epoxy to dry off any moisture, contamination, or solvents, as well as to assist
epoxy in achieving maximum adhesion properties.

Mixing ---- It is strongly recommended that full units be mixed, as ratios are pre-measured. ----
Instructions:
1. Add hardener to resin
2. Mix thoroughly with screwdriver or similar tool (continuously scrape material away from sides and bottom of container)
until a uniform, streak-free consistency is obtained.

INTERMEDIATE SIZES (1,2,3 lb. units): Place resin and hardener on a flat, disposable surface such as cardboard,
plywood, or plastic sheet). Use a trowel or wide-blade tool to mix the material as in Step 2 above.

LARGE SIZES: (25 lb., 30 lb., 50 lb. buckets): Use a T-shaped mixing paddle or a propeller-type Jiffy Mixer Model ES on
an electric drill. Thoroughly fold putty by vigorously moving paddle/propeller up and down until a homogenous mix of resin
and hardener is attained.

Application Spread mixed material on repair area and work firmly into substrate to ensure maximum surface contact. Titanium Putty
Instructions: fully cures in 16 hours, at which time it can be machined, drilled, or painted.

FOR BRIDGING LARGE GAPS OR HOLES

Place fiberglass sheet, expanded metal, or mechanical fasteners between repair area and Titanium Putty prior to
application.

FOR VERTICAL SURFACE APPLICATIONS

Titanium Putty can be troweled up to ½” thick without sagging. Chemical immersion is possible after 24 hours.

FOR MAXIMUM PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

Cure at room temperature for 2.5 hours, then heat cure for 4 hours @ 200°F.

FOR ± 70°F APPLICATIONS

Applying epoxy at temperatures below 70°F lengthens functional cure and pot life times. Conversely, applying above 70°F
shortens functional cure and pot life.

MACHINING:
Allow material to cure for at least four hours before machining, but wait no longer than 24 hours as the material will wear
the tools. Machine using these guidelines:

- Lathe speed: 150 ft/min

- Cut: Dry
- Tools: Carbide Top Rake 6° (+/-2°) – Side/Front 8°F (+/-2°)
- Feed Rate (rough): Travel speed .020 Rough cut .020 - .060
- Feed Rate (finishing): Travel speed .010 Finish cut .010
- Polishing: Use 400-650 grit emery paper wet. Material should polish to a 25-50 micro inch.
Storage: Store at room temperature.

Compliances: Qualifies under DOD-C-24176B SH

Chemical Chemical resistance is calculated with a 7 day, room temp. cure (30 days immersion) @ 75°F)
Resistance: Acetic (Dilute) 10% Poor Potassium Hydroxide 40% Excellent
Benzene Excellent Sodium Hydroxide 10% Excellent
Gasoline (Unleaded) Excellent Sodium Hydroxide 50% Excellent
Hydrochloric 10% Excellent Sodium Hypochlorite Excellent
Kerosene Excellent Sulfuric 10% Very good
Mineral Spirits Excellent Sulfuric 50% Fair
Nitric 50% Fair Toluene Excellent
Phosphoric 10% Very good Trisodium Phosphate Excellent
