Sylmasta Sylmasta Ceramic Supergrade Abrasion Resistant Epoxy Paste

The Sylmasta Ceramic Supergrade Abrasion Resistant Epoxy Paste is a high-performance repair solution designed specifically for maintenance professionals dealing with harsh industrial environments. Engineered for durability, this two-part epoxy is filled with silicon carbide, delivering exceptional abrasion resistance while maintaining a low-friction surface finish. This makes it especially suitable for applications where surfaces experience constant wear or movement, such as in silos, chutes, mills, pumps, metal castings, and tanks.

The epoxy paste is designed to withstand continuous exposure to abrasive materials, harsh chemicals, and moisture, ensuring reliable, long-term protection. The smooth, trowel-applied consistency makes it easy to apply, even on vertical or overhead surfaces, while its thixotropic nature prevents sagging during application. Once cured, it forms a dense, hard coating that resists impact and corrosion, helping to extend the lifespan of critical equipment and structures.

Ideal for both emergency repairs and planned maintenance, Sylmasta Ceramic Supergrade Epoxy Paste not only restores damaged surfaces but also reinforces them, reducing future maintenance needs. Whether used in manufacturing plants, processing facilities, or heavy industrial settings, it delivers consistent performance and protection, even under extreme operating conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the recommended application method for Ceramic Supergrade Epoxy Paste?
   Apply using a putty knife or trowel. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and roughened for optimal adhesion. Press firmly to eliminate air pockets.
2. How do I prepare the surface before application?
   Remove all paint, rust, and grease. Abrasive blasting or sanding is recommended to achieve a rough profile. Clean with a solvent to remove residues.
3. What is the recommended post-curing procedure?

• Cure at room temperature for 24 hours.
• Heat at 176°F (80°C) for 2 hours.
• Increase to 302°F (150°C) for 3 hours.
• Allow the material to cool naturally.

4. Can the product be applied in cold conditions?
   Yes, but preheat the substrate to 98–109°F (37–43°C) to remove moisture and ensure optimal adhesion.
5. What is the mix ratio for the epoxy?
   The mix ratio by weight is 2:1, and by volume, it is also 2:1. Mix thoroughly to achieve a uniform consistency.
6. What is the typical cure time?
   The epoxy reaches full cure within 24 hours at room temperature. A gel time of 60 minutes allows for manageable application.
