Product Name
DEVCON 11320 DFense Blok Quick Patch Ceramic Bead-filled Wear & Abrasion Epoxy
Brief Description
DEVCON 11320 DFense Blok Quick Patch is a high-performance, ceramic bead-filled epoxy system specifically engineered for emergency repairs and quick patching of processing equipment. It provides exceptional wear and abrasion resistance, extending the service life of industrial components and minimizing downtime.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Patching holes, leaks, and cracks in various types of processing equipment.- Repairing and rebuilding worn surfaces and components.- Protecting equipment from coarse particle abrasion and erosion.- Applications in scrubbers, ash handling systems, pipe elbows, screens, chutes, recontour chippers, bins, hoppers, bunkers, separators, digester tables, exhausters, launderers, housing fans, crushers, and breakers.- Ideal for environments with slurries and aggregates, such as dredging pumps, sea water filters, grinders, crushers, and valves.
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Chemical Industry- Concrete- Construction/ Building Services- Distributers & Resellers- Energy- Engineering Services- Fabrication- Food & Beverage Company or Distributor- General Manufacturing- Industrial Supply- Marine- Metal Fabrication- Petroleum Industry, Products or Services
Special and Unique Features
- Ceramic bead-filled composition (alumina ceramic beads) for superior wear and abrasion resistance.- Very fast cure speed, achieving functional cure in 30 minutes, which significantly reduces downtime for emergency repairs.- Can be applied to vertical surfaces (up to 1 inch) and overhead surfaces (up to 3/4 inch) without sagging due to its non-sag paste consistency.- Patented advanced epoxy technology provides excellent impact and sliding resistance in harsh environments.- Solvent-free formulation, making it suitable for use in confined spaces and reducing health and safety risks.

Known backups / known substitutes
- Other ceramic-filled epoxy wear compounds (e.g., Devcon Brushable Ceramic, CLS-101 Fast Set, UPS Extreme Wear Resistance products, HIGLUE PC 9313, Nordbak High Impact Wearing Compound PC 9313, TESA Epoxy Ceramic Compound, Resimac ceramic repair pastes/fluids).- Polyurethane coatings for abrasion resistance (generally more flexible).- Vinyl ester coatings for abrasion resistance.- Other industrial wear-resistant coatings (e.g., Xylan®, PVDF/Dykor®, ECTFE/Halar®, ETFE).- Steel-filled epoxies for metal repair (e.g., CLS-1201).
Comparison Note
DEVCON 11320 DFense Blok Quick Patch stands out due to its unique combination of ceramic bead reinforcement and exceptionally fast cure time, making it an ideal solution for emergency repairs in high-wear industrial environments. While other epoxies and coatings offer abrasion resistance, the ceramic bead-filled nature of this product provides superior protection against sliding abrasion and impact. Its rapid functional cure (30 minutes) significantly minimizes equipment downtime compared to traditional repair methods like welding or replacing components, and its non-sag properties allow for versatile application on vertical and overhead surfaces.
