Ressi EPO Iron Putty
Ressi EPO Iron Putty is a two-component, solvent-free, non-rusting metal-filled epoxy repair com
pound designed for rebuilding, filling, and repairing worn or damaged metal surfaces. When mixed,
the base and hardener react chemically to form a high-strength, machinable compound that
adheres strongly to most metals and hard substrates.
It provides excellent mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and long-term durability under
service conditions, making it ideal for emergency repairs and maintenance applications in industrial
environments

Two-Component Metal Repair and Rebuilding Compound
Ressi EPO Iron Putty is a two-component, solvent-free, non-rusting, metal-filled epoxy
repair compound designed for rebuilding, filling, and repairing worn or damaged metal surfaces.
When mixed, the base and hardener react chemically to form a high-strength, machinable compound
that adheres strongly to most metals and hard substrates.
It provides excellent mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and long-term durability under
service conditions, making it ideal for emergency repairs and maintenance applications in
industrial environments.
FEATURES & BENEFITS
- Two-component, easy-to-mix and apply
- Excellent adhesion to cast iron and most rigid substrates
- Can be drilled, tapped, machined, or sanded after curing
- Resistant to oil, water, fuels, and many industrial chemicals
- Ideal for repairing worn parts, cracks, holes, and surface defects
- High compressive and tensile strength ensuring durable repairs
RECOMMENDED USES
- Repair of pumps, housings, shafts, flanges, and valves
- Rebuilding worn areas of machine parts and metal components
- Filling cracks, holes, corrosion pits, and surface irregularities
- Suitable for workshops, power plants, marine, and process industries
SURFACE PREPARATION
All surfaces must be clean, dry, and free from oil, grease, rust, scale, and contaminants.
For best adhesion, the substrate should be roughened by abrasive blasting or mechanical abrasion
to achieve a minimum surface profile of 75 microns.
After surface preparation, clean thoroughly with a suitable solvent cleaner to remove all dust
and residues before applying the compound.
MIXING & APPLICATION
Before use, thoroughly mix the Base and Hardener components in the
ratio of 1 : 1 by weight until a uniform color and smooth consistency are obtained.
- Apply immediately using a putty knife, spatula, or trowel
- Working time: 40–50 minutes @ 25°C
- Machining, drilling, or overcoating can be done after full cure
- Clean tools immediately after use with suitable epoxy thinner
