Product Description
LOCTITE EA 3473 is a two-part, steel-filled fast-curing epoxy repair compound for emergency metal repairs. The mixed steel-colored paste uses a 1:1 volume ratio and has a gel time of 3.5 to 4 minutes at 21 deg C for short repair cycles. The non-sag paste supports placement on worn or damaged metal surfaces and cures to a hard, metal-like repair surface. Typical applications include shafts, housings, keyways, flanges, castings and pipes that require localized repair, not new structural load paths.
Key features
- Fast Repair Gel Time: Gel time is 3.5 to 4 minutes at 21 deg C for emergency-repair processing.
- Non-Sag Placement: Steel-filled paste supports controlled application to localized metal repair areas.
- Metal-Like Repair Surface: Cured epoxy forms a hard finish for localized metal repairs.
Applications
Emergency repair of shafts, housings, keyways, flanges, castings and pipes.
