Technical Data Sheet

RESIMETAL 101 Metal Repair Paste –

solvent free epoxy with metallic fillers
Resimetal 101 Metal Repair Paste is a two component solvent free epoxy metal repair compound
designed to fill surface erosion & corrosion on metallic surfaces.
• Apply to mechanically & abrasive blast cleaned surfaces
• High mechanical adhesion to metal substrates
• Apply at thicknesses up to 25mm (1”)
Typical Applications
worn or damaged pump shafts cracked pump or valve casings scored hydraulic rams
worn bearing housings damaged flanges leaking tank seams
worn keyways cracked engine blocks damaged hulls on vessels
eroded rudder surfaces corroded bow thruster tunnels cold bonding steel plate
Surface Preparation
Metallic Substrates – Mechanical abrasion
1. All oil and grease must be removed from the surface using an appropriate cleaner such as MEK.
2. All surfaces must be mechanically abraded using handheld grinders to ISO 8501/4 ST3 (SSPC SP3 ST3).
3. Once abraded, the surface must be degreased and cleaned using MEK or similar type material.
4. All surfaces must be coated before gingering or oxidation occurs.
Metallic Substrates – Abrasive blast cleaning
1. All oil and grease must be removed from the surface using an appropriate cleaner such as MEK.
2. All surfaces must be abrasive blasted to ISO 8501/4 Standard SA2.5 (SSPC SP10/ NACE 2) minimum blast
profile of 75 microns (3mil) using an angular abrasive.
3. Once blast cleaned, the surface must be degreased and cleaned using MEK or similar type material.
4. All surfaces must be coated before gingering or oxidation occurs.
PLEASE NOTE: For salt contaminated surfaces the substrate must be pressure washed with clean water and checked for
salt contamination, please refer to the surface preparation and pre-application guide for further information.

Mixing
Prior to mixing please ensure the following:
1. The base component is at a temperature between 15-25°C (60-77F°).
2. The ambient & surface temperature is above 5°C (41F°).
Once these 2 checks have been met, please proceed with mixing the product.
If part mixing the unit of material please follow the instructions below:
1. Using the spatula provided place 3 equal measures from the base unit onto the mixing board provided.
2. Clean the spatula thoroughly.
3. Then take 1 equal measure from the activator unit and place alongside the base measures.
4. Mix the 2 components together until you have a streak free mix (mid grey) on the mixing board.
5. Ensure there is no unmixed material on the spatula or mixing board.
If mixing a complete unit of material (500gm/1kg/3kg) please follow the instructions below:
1. Dispense as much of the base and activator units onto a clean mixing surface.
2. Mix the 2 components together until you have a streak free mix (mid grey) on the mixing board.
3. Ensure there is no unmixed material on the spatula or mixing board.
From the commencement of mixing, the material should be used within 30 minutes at 20°C (68F°).

Application
1. Using a spatula or applicator tool, apply the material to the prepared surface.
2. Ensure the product is pressed into any holes, scars or cracks.
3. Once the repair has been completed smooth off any imperfections using a gloved hand.
Where a machined finish is required, the repair area should be overfilled by up to 1.5mm (60mil) and once hardened
machined using a surface cutting speed of 200ft/minute and a feed rate of 50 thou/rev initially and 10 thou/rev for finishing.

Technical Data Sheet

Coverage Rates
1kg (2.2lb) of fully mixed product will give the following coverage rates –
0.406m² at 1mm 4.3ft² at 40mil
0.203m² at 2mm 2.2ft² at 80mil
0.135m² at 3mm 1.45ft² at 1/8”
Please note that the coverage rates quoted are theoretical and do not take into consideration the profile or
condition of the surface being repaired.

Cure Times
At 20°C (68F°) the applied materials should be allowed to harden for the times indicated below before being subjected to
the conditions indicated. These times will be extended at lower temperatures and reduced at higher temperatures:
Usable Life 30mins
Machining and light loading 2 hours
Maximum overcoating time 6 hours
Full cure 3 days

For Optimum Performance

After an initial curing period of at least 4 hours at 20°C (68F°), raising the cure temperature progressively to 60 - 100°C
(140-212F°) for up to 8 hours will result in improved mechanical, thermal and chemical resistance properties

Pack Sizes
This product is available in the following pack sizes –
500gm (1lb), 1kg (2.2lb), 3kg (6.6lb), 30kg (66lb)

Colour
Mixed material - Dark Grey
Base component – Dark grey
Activator component – Light grey

Over-coating times
Minimum - the applied material can be over-coated as soon as it is touch dry.
Maximum - the over-coating time should not exceed 6 hours.
Where the maximum over-coating time is exceeded, the material should be allowed to harden before being abraded or flash
blasted to remove surface contamination.

Storage Life
5 years if unopened and store in normal dry conditions (15-30°C/ 60-86°F)
