A 2-part composite material for metal repair and resurfacing based on a solvent-free, surface-tolerant epoxy resin reinforced with silicon steel alloy. This composite material is specifically designed for application to wet and oil contaminated surfaces, as well as for underwater applications. It is easy to mix and apply without the need of specialist tools and can be machined using conventional tools.
Key benefits:
- Bonds strongly to wet, oily and manually prepared surfaces
- Multi-purpose durable repair composite
- Application and cure at room temperature and underwater – no hot work involved
- Excellent bonding to metals including stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminium, brass, copper and other rigid surfaces
- Fully machinable using conventional tools
- Excellent electrical insulation characteristics
- Reduced health and safety risks as it is solvent-free
- No shrinkage, expansion or distortion
- Outstanding corrosion protection
- Excellent chemical resistance against a wide range of chemicals
Applications for Belzona 1161 (Super UW-Metal) include:
- Repair of oil and water leaks
- Sealing of joints and flanges
- Repair of cracks and holes on engine and pump casings, transformers, pipes, tanks and other equipment
- Resurface of pitted metal surfaces
- High strength structural adhesive for metal bonding
- Creation of irregular load bearing shims and reforming of bearing housings
