Urethane Bus Bumper<br />
<strong>Repair</strong><br />
Flexane® 80 Putty<br />

Problem:<br />
These urethane bus bumpers would receive damage from minor traffic accidents. The bumpers were<br />
frequently replaced at cost of $1.5K each. The customers objective was to repair bumpers rather than<br />
replace, reducing maintenance costs <strong>and</strong> extending the bumpers service life.<br />
Solution:<br />
<strong>Repair</strong> areas were roughened <strong>and</strong> gouged using a grinding machine <strong>and</strong> coarse s<strong>and</strong>ing disc. All surface<br />
areas were then chemically cleaned using Cleaner Blend 300. FL20 Primer was applied <strong>and</strong> allowed to<br />
cure or dry for 15 minutes. Flexane 80 Putty was applied covering or coating the complete repair area.<br />
Following a 24 hour cure of the Flexane 80 Putty, the repair area was s<strong>and</strong>ed using a very fine s<strong>and</strong>ing<br />
disc. Bumpers were then repainted <strong>and</strong> installed back on the bus. <strong>Devcon</strong>’s repair cost was $150.
