Description
Sylmasta AB Original is a versatile, two-part epoxy putty which has numerous uses in repair, maintenance and manufacturing applications.
AB Original is ceramic-filled, making it harder wearing and stronger than most other epoxy putties. It has a working time of up to two hours, allowing for more of the material to be mixed, shaped and formed as needed before curing begins. Sylmasta recommend AB Original to clients undertaking complex applications and operating in hot climates because of its cure time.
As part of the Sylmasta Pipe Repair System, AB Original is used to seal holes and cracks caused by corrosion to pipes made from steel, cast iron, copper, PVC plastic, ceramic, and many other materials. When applied to damaged areas, it restores the surface profile of pipelines and improves integrity.
It is used to make underwater pipe repairs, adheres well to wet surfaces, is suitable in interior or exterior settings, and has high chemical resistance. In chemically aggressive environments, it can be used as a sacrificial layer.
Away from pipe repair, Sylmasta AB bonds to metal, wood, brick, masonry, concrete, porcelain, clay and most plastics. It acts as a filler to repair all types of damage, insulates electrical components, and can be used to make prototypes. Once cured, it can be tapped, drilled, screwed, sawed, machined, ground, filed, or painted.
Three colours of Sylmasta AB Original Epoxy Putty are currently available and AB can be purchased in bulk quantities for larger projects. If you require customisation of Sylmasta AB, then please contact Sylmasta, whose technicians can produce custom coloured epoxy for jobs including brick repair and concrete repair.
How to use Sylmasta AB Original Epoxy Putty for maintenance and repair
Sylmasta AB comes in two separate parts. You mix part A and B together in even quantities by volume or weight and knead until thoroughly mixed.
Whilst soft, the putty is pushed into holes and cracks in pipes, metalwork and other materials where it will cure, sealing and filling areas of damage. For bonding, you apply the putty and use it to attach the pieces requiring repair together.
The two hour work time enables Sylmasta AB to be used in more complex jobs. The hand-kneadable consistency eliminates drips and runs, facilitates adhesion to the substrate, and allows the material to be shaped. It achieves a full cure in 24 hours and is resistant to water, chemicals, and temperature extremes.
Sylmasta AB Original Epoxy Putty contains no solvents or VOC’s, is non-flammable and releases no noxious fumes. It will not shrink or pull away when setting. The unused portion stays fresh for future use when saved in its original package.
Pipe repairs made with Sylmasta AB Original Epoxy Putty can be overwrapped with SylWrap HD Pipe Repair Bandage. SylWrap HD provides an impact-resistant, rock-hard layer of protection for a high-pressure repair.
Sylmasta AB is also supplied in a pre-formatted 200g stick combining resin and hardener. This removes the need to measure and mix components; the user simply cuts the amount of putty required from the stick and kneads by hand. For more information, please see Sylmasta AB Original Epoxy Putty Stick.
