SynthoGlass EPN-101 two-part epoxy paste filler (aka EPN-101-1PT or EPN-101-1QT)

Product Name

SynthoGlass EPN-101 two-part epoxy paste filler (aka EPN-101-1PT or EPN-101-1QT)

Brief Description

The CS-NRI EPN-101 is a solvent-free, chemically resistant, two-part bulk epoxy paste filler. It is specifically designed to fill and transition surface irregularities, including pits, voids, corrosion defects, and dents, and is also used for leak repair "stopgaps". This product offers high-build capability without slumping or sagging, and once cured, it is machinable.

Popular Applications & Uses

- Filling pits, voids, corrosion defects, and dents on various metal surfaces.- Creating "stopgaps" for leak repair.- Transitioning aggressive changes in geometry or large defects prior to the installation of composite repair systems, such as SynthoGlass wraps.- Structural repairs and rebuilding worn or damaged metallic surfaces.- Used in conjunction with patches, plugs, and other leak repair techniques.

Industries that Commonly Use It

- Petroleum Industry, Products or Services- Energy (including Power Generation)- Marine (for repairs on vessels and underwater applications)- Chemical Industry (due to its chemical resistance)- Construction/ Building Services (for infrastructure repair and maintenance)- General Manufacturing (for industrial equipment and facility maintenance)- Government & Military (for critical infrastructure and equipment repair)- Distributers & Resellers (as sold by Perigee Direct)- Metal Fabrication (for repairing defects in metal components and structures)

Special and Unique Features

- Solvent-free formulation, contributing to safer application and reduced environmental impact.- Highly resistant to a wide variety of inorganic acids, alkalis, salts, and organic media.- Possesses high-build capability, allowing for significant thickness without slumping or sagging.- Machinable once fully cured, enabling precise finishing and shaping.- Can be over-coated as soon as it is dry to the touch, facilitating faster project completion.- Suitable for long-term immersion at temperatures up to 70°C (158°F) and intermittent contact with pressurized steam up to 120°C (248°F).- Resistant to dry heat in excess of 200°C (392°F), depending on the load.

Key Properties

- Type: Two-part epoxy paste filler- Formulation: Solvent-free- Cure: Ambient temperature cure, with specific temperature requirements for application (minimum 5°C/40°F)- Chemical Resistance: Excellent against various inorganic acids, alkalis, salts, and organic media- Temperature Resistance: Up to 70°C (158°F) for immersion, 120°C (248°F) for intermittent steam, and over 200°C (392°F) for dry heat- Workability: High-build, non-slumping paste- Post-Cure: Machinable

Surface Compatibility

- Primarily designed for use on any metal surface, including steel, copper, and stainless steel.- Often used as a complementary component within SynthoGlass pipe repair systems, which are compatible with various pipe materials such as copper, steel, stainless steel, PVC, FRP, clay, concrete, and rubber pipes.

Known backups / known substitutes

- ESN-202 Putty (another filler from CSNRI/SynthoGlass)- EPN-242 (another filler from CSNRI)- Resimac 101 Metal Repair Paste (a similar two-component, solvent-free epoxy repair compound for metallic surfaces)

Comparison Note

SynthoGlass EPN-101 stands out as a specialized, high-performance epoxy paste filler engineered for critical industrial applications. Its unique combination of high-build capability, machinability, and extensive chemical and temperature resistance makes it an ideal solution for repairing and preparing metal surfaces, particularly as a foundational element within comprehensive composite repair systems like those offered by CSNRI/SynthoGlass.
