Flexane® High Performance Putty

Description: A tough, rubber-like urethane compound for making a broad range of repairs to protect against wear, abrasion, and noise
reduction.

Intended Use: Protect equipment surfaces from wear and abrasion.

Protect processing equipment such as coating hoppers, lining chutes, pump volutes, impellers, and fan housings.

Product Excellent tear resistance

features: Mixes easily
Bonds (with primers) to metal, concrete, rubber, wood, and fiberglass
Highly resistant to impact and abrasion
Trowels on smoothly

Limitations: Keep from freezing. The resin may crystallize if exposed to temperatures below 50°F. This does not affect the properties
of the product. If after opening, resin has an opaque, whitish color, apply lid and allow can to stand at 70°F overnight or
until resin becomes clear.

Typical Technical data should be considered representative or typical only and should not be used for specification purposes.

Surface For METAL SURFACES, thoroughly clean area to be repaired, rebuilt, or lined with Devcon® Cleaner Blend 300. Remove
Preparation: any oil, grease, or dirt. Roughen surface by grinding with a coarse wheel or an abrasive disc pad. To prime this surface,
apply a coat of Devcon FL-10 Primer and allow to dry tack-free for 15 minutes. If the metal surface requires maximum tear
resistance or is exposed to moisture, or if submerged in water, use Devcon® FL-10 and Devcon® FL-20 Primer.

For RUBBER SURFACES, thoroughly clean area with an abrasive pad and Devcon® Cleaner Blend 300. Surface can also
be roughened with a grinding wheel so that it is coarse and free from oil and dirt that may clog the "pores" of the rubber.
Wipe or roughen surface with Cleaner Blend 300 until the cloth no longer picks up the color of the rubber. The rubber
should appear new or deeper in color. To prime this surface, apply a coat of Devcon® FL-20 Primer and allow to dry tack-
free for 15-20 minutes. Use Devcon®FL-40 Primer on "hard-to-bond" rubber surfaces as this gives ultimate peel
resistance. Multiple coats may be necessary for porous rubber surfaces.

For MAXIMUM ADHESION, sandblast the surface with an angular abrasive until a minimum depth profile of 2-3 mils is
met. Blast to near-white finish specification SSPC-SP5 (Steel Structure Painting Council). Prime surface immediately after
sandblasting to prevent oxidation.

Mixing ---- To ensure proper cure speeds and hardness, mix Flexane at a temperature between 65°F-85°F. ----
Instructions:
1.Add hardener to resin.
2.Vigorously mix with screwdriver or spatula for two minutes, while continuously scraping material away from sides and

 bottom of container. NOTE: Flexane putties will thicken rapidly during these first two minutes of mixing, but this DOES
NOT mean that the polymer is curing.
3.Transfer the mixed material to the plastic container (included in kit).
4.Wipe spatula clean, and stir again for two more minutes.
5.Continue to mix until a uniform, streak-free consistency is obtained.

FOR 4LB. UNITS:

Use a propeller-type Jiffy Mixer Model ES on an electric drill.

Mix until color is uniform and consistent (approx 4-6 min.), while continuously scraping material away from sides and
bottom of container.

NOTE: Completely submerge propeller, otherwise large amounts of air will be added resulting in air bubbles on the
finished product’s surface.

Application ---- FOR MAXIMUM ADHESION, apply a suitable Devcon primer to all substrates prior to application. ----
Instructions:
Metals FL-10 Primer (2 coats)
Rubber FL-20 Primer
Wood FL-20 Primer
Fiberglass FL-20 Primer
Concrete FL-20 Primer
Rigid Plastics FL-20 Primer

1.Brush a thin coat of Flexane over the substrate, then pour from one side of the mold to the other side, so as to evacuate
any air as the Flexane fills the area.
2.Gently blow hot air over the finished surface to ensure a perfect mold with no blow holes or air entrapment. Use a hot
air gun and gently wave over the surface to break all the air bubbles.
3.Allow to cure six (6) hours before returning equipment to light service. The repair may then be ground flush using a 24
or 36 grit sanding disc. Do not overheat the work surface. Full cure takes seven (7) days @ 70°F.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Flexane Accelerator is used to increase Flexane’s cure speed at temperatures as low as 32°F. One-half tsp. (2 gms) of
Accelerator reduces the cure time of 1 lb. of Flexane by 50%. Use 2 tsp. or less of Accelerator for each 1 lb. of Flexane.
See Flexane Accelerator TDS for further information.
Storage: Store at room temperature.

Compliances: none

Chemical Chemical resistance is calculated with a 7 day, room temp. cure (30 days immersion) @ 75°F)
