TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Surface Preparation
Heavy contamination due to oil or grease must be removed. All loose material, rust and surface contaminants, including existing coatings, must be removed and the surface roughened by using an angle grinder, needle gun or abrasive blasting. Where grinding is used, the surface should be cross-scored to improve adhesion. Care must be taken, when angle grinding, to avoid polishing rather than roughening metal surfaces. Surface- es should be carefully degreased again using an appropriate cleaner, cloths should be frequently changed to avoid spreading contamination. On deeply pitted surfaces or porous castings
Mixing
Before mixing, hands should be treated with a suitable barrier cream or lightweight disposable gloves should be worn. Sufficient product to complete the repair should be cut or broken from the stick. This should then be twisted and kneaded until a uniform colour is achieved with no streaks. The two components are colour coded to ensure complete mixing is achieved when the colour is uniform
Applicaiton
Prepared surfaces should be dry. The mixed material should be pressed firmly onto the prepared area, working the material into any cracks and surface defects.
When ProTXStick is being used to repair leaking pipes, the flow through the pipe should be discontinued until the repair is made and the ProTXStick is set. Any leaking fluid must be wiped from the prepared surface to render the surface as dry as possible before undertaking the repair
