Introduction
When unexpected equipment failures occur in industrial plants, an unplanned shutdown requiring emergency industrial repairs can be a costly and time-consuming ordeal. The saying “time is money” holds true, especially when a plant needs to resume operations quickly. Devcon’s fast-curing emergency repair solutions are designed to get equipment back in working order in a matter of minutes. Whether you need metal epoxy adhesives, high performing repair adhesives, industrial putties, or a fast-curing epoxy, Devcon has a range of products tailored for these urgent situations. Being prepared with Devcon’s industrial maintenance solutions can help minimize downtime and keep your plant running smoothly.
Industrial Maintenance Solutions Using Devcon Precision Repairs
Devcon offers a variety of emergency industrial repair products that can handle the toughest challenges. Here’s how Devcon’s fast-curing epoxy products can keep your plant operating efficiently during an emergency:
Devcon DFense Blok Quick Patch: This ceramic bead-filled, abrasion-resistant epoxy coating hardens in just 5 minutes. The Quick Patch kit includes a plastic sleeve that allows users to quickly seal holes or leaks in pipes or equipment without requiring specialized skills like welding or plumbing.
Unlike traditional welding, which necessitates draining the line and shutting it down, Quick Patch can be used on the spot to stop a leak until a more permanent solution can be implemented. The product’s ceramic bead fillers can withstand abrasive slurries that would cause other repair products to fail. It’s an ideal solution for emergency industrial repairs, significantly reducing plant downtime.
Devcon Plastic Steel 5-Minute Putty: A fast-curing version of the well-known Devcon Plastic Steel Putty, this product is designed specifically for emergency repairs.
In addition to being perfect for urgent fixes, the 5-Minute Putty is ideal for users who are experienced with multi-step repair processes. It’s particularly useful for quickly filling deep gouges or cracks before applying other coatings such as Devcon Brushable Ceramic or Devcon DFense Blok. This product minimizes downtime and helps to quickly restore equipment functionality.
This fast-curing, beaded epoxy coating is ideal for the rapid repair of equipment that faces heavy abrasion. The ComboWear FC kit, weighing 9 pounds, has a longer working time than Quick Patch but is still fast enough to meet the needs of plants that can’t afford a lengthy shutdown.
It’s a great alternative to heavier-duty beaded coatings like Devcon Wear Guard Fine Load or Devcon Wear Guard High Load, particularly when you need a return-to-service time as short as 1.5 hours.
