Description
Sylmasta AB Rapid 5 Minute is a versatile, two-part epoxy putty with a quick work time which has multiple uses in repair, maintenance and manufacturing applications.
AB Rapid 5 Minute is ceramic-filled, making it harder wearing and stronger than other repair putties. It has a five minute work time to enable quick repairs and it can be purchased in bulk quantities, making it more suitable for larger applications compared to Superfast Epoxy Putty Sticks which have a similar cure time but are only available in a smaller stick format.
As part of the Sylmasta Pipe Repair System, AB Rapid 5 Minute is used to quickly seal holes and cracks caused by corrosion to pipes made from steel, cast iron, copper, PVC plastic, ceramic, and many other materials. When applied to damaged areas, it restores the surface profile of pipelines and improves integrity.
Aside from pipe repair, AB Rapid 5 Minute offers high-strength bonding of metal, wood, brick, masonry, concrete, porcelain, ceramics, clay pipes, and most plastics.
Two colours of AB Rapid 5 Minute are currently available for colour matching applications. If you require a custom colour epoxy, then please contact Sylmasta, whose technicians can formulate specific putties for jobs including brick repair and concrete repair.
How to use Sylmasta AB Rapid 5 Minute Epoxy Putty for maintenance and repair
Sylmasta AB Rapid 5 Minute Epoxy Putty comes in two separate parts. You mix part A and B together in even quantities by volume or weight and knead until thoroughly mixed.
Mixing together large quantities of putty allows larger jobs to be completed quickly. AB Rapid has a work time of five minutes. The hand-kneadable consistency eliminates drips and runs, facilitates adhesion to the substrate, and allows the material to be shaped and formed as needed before curing begins.
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.
AB Rapid achieves a full cure in 24 hours and is resistant to water, chemicals, and temperature extremes. Once cured, it can be tapped, drilled, screwed, sawed, machined, ground, filed, or painted.
It 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 which require a putty with a longer working time or for use underwater, 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 has excellent adhesion to wet and damp surfaces.
