Bicaseal Putty
Bicaseal is a two-part putty mix, supplied as individually wrapped sticks of resin and hardener, which are different in colour to aid complete mixing.
It has a usable life of 60 minutes at 20°C with an average setting time of 1 hour 30 minutes. It becomes a hard mass after approximately 4 hours. It should ideally be left, without any movement, overnight to cure fully. At reduced ambient temperatures, the setting time will increase and the mixing of the two components will become more difficult.
Before application of the putty mix, ensure that the surfaces are clean and free from oil or lubricants, and where possible roughen the surfaces to aid adhesion. Water immersion, or the presence of water, will not prevent setting. However, for good seals the surface should be dry. The maximum continuous operating temperature is 120°C.
Bicaseal putty is not affected by oils (e.g. transformer oil) and the surfaces may be painted after curing.
