CERAMIGRADE REBUILD

Instructions for use

Before proceeding, please read the following information application carefully to ensure that proper procedures are fully understood. CeramiGrade Rebuild is a two component, solvent free, fast curing, synthetic repair compound. Areas of application: Re-building pumps, impellers, propellers, turbine blades, valves etc.

1. Surface preparation

Heavy contamination due to oil or grease must be removed using a cleaner. Where possible, abrasive blasting is the preferred surface preparation, especially in fluid flow repairs.

If Reinforcement Bandage is used to strengthen the repair, the bandage should be impregnated with CeramiGrade Rebuild, or the bandage should be laid over the surface of the CeramiGrade Rebuild and pressed into the surface. Additional CeramiGrade Rebuild should then be applied over the surface.

process until all salt contamination is eliminated.

E) To ensure that all contamination is removed carry out a final degreasing with a cleaner. Cloths should be frequently changed to avoid spreading contamination. On deeply pitted surfaces of porous castings, a cleaner should be worked into the surface by brush and washed off using excess cleaner.

F) Parts (for example, threads or bearing surfaces) which must remain in position during application but which should not adhere to CeramiGrade Rebuild must be coated with a release agent.

A) Remove all contamination (oil, grease and dirt) with a cleaner. B) Remove all loose rust and surface coatings.

C) Roughen the surface, preferably with abrasive blasting to SA2. Alternatively a die grinder, needle scaler or angle grinder may be used. If grinding make sure the surface is roughened, not polished. Where grinding or needle gunning is used, the surface should be cross scored to improve adhesion.

D) Equipment which has been saltimpregnated should be heated to sweat out the salt contamination, then the surface re-blasted. Repeat this
