Sylmasta AB Rapid 5 Minute Epoxy Putty
Sylmasta AB Rapid 5 Minute is a versatile, two-part epoxy putty with a five-minute work time which has numerous uses in repair, refurbishment and maintenance applications. It combines the fast cure speed of Superfast Epoxy Putty with the strength and two-part format of Sylmasta AB Original.
It supplies much greater quantities (up to 50kg) of fast working putty than is possible from a 114g Superfast Stick. AB Rapid is used in large-scale applications requiring significant amounts of putty where speed is also desired.
AB Rapid is ceramic-filled, making it harder wearing and stronger than other epoxy putties. It bonds to metal, wood, brick, masonry, concrete, porcelain, ceramics, clay and most plastics.
It is suitable for use in interior or exterior settings and has good chemical resistance in aggressive environments. Once cured, AB Rapid can be tapped, drilled, screwed, sawed, machined, ground, filed, or painted.
As part of the Sylmasta Pipe Refurbishment System, AB Rapid seals holes and cracks in pipes of almost all substrates. When applied to damaged or weakened areas, it restores the surface profile of pipelines by rebuilding wall thickness.
Away from pipe repair, AB Rapid acts as a damage filler, insulates electrical components, can be used to make prototypes and offers high-strength bonding between different materials.
AB Rapid 5 Minute Epoxy Putty Details
Two colours of AB Rapid are currently available – white or black. If you require a specific custom colour epoxy putty, then please contact Sylmasta, whose technicians can formulate specific putties for jobs including brick repair and concrete repair.
AB Rapid comes with the resin and hardener kept separate. Part A and Part B are measured out in even quantities by volume or weight and kneaded thoroughly by hand until turning a uniform colour to indicate successful mixing.
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 hand-kneadable consistency of AB Rapid 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.
AB Rapid 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.
For complex applications where a putty with a longer work time is desired or for making underwater repairs, please see Sylmasta AB Original Epoxy Putty.
AB Original has a two-hour work time, allowing for more putty to be mixed and applied without the prospect of curing before the task is completed. It also offers excellent adhesion to wet and damp surfaces.
