Products: Flexane® 80 Putty /<br />
Application Date: Flexane® High Performance Brushable<br />

Industry:<br />
Transportation Automobile Manufacturing<br />
Problem:<br />
The metal feed bowls at this General Motors manufacturing plant experienced 2 problems. Abrasive<br />
wear <strong>and</strong> unsafe noise levels from processing metal components.<br />
Solution:<br />
The complete bowl was first s<strong>and</strong>blasted to a SSPC-SP5 white metal finish. <strong>Repair</strong> areas were then<br />
chemically cleaned using Cleaner Blend 300. Both FL10 <strong>and</strong> FL20 Primers were applied <strong>and</strong> each<br />
allowed to cure or dry for 15 minutes. Applying both primers will improve adhesion from 25 pli to 50<br />
pli. As the bowl was slowly rotating, Flexane 80 Putty was applied to a thickness of 1/4”. Slowly<br />
rotating the bowl assisted in evenly smoothing <strong>and</strong> contouring Flexane 80 Putty. Following a partial<br />
cure, (2 hours), Flexane High Performance Brushable was applied to a thickness of 35 mils. Flexane<br />
High Performance Brushable is self leveling <strong>and</strong> provided the smoothest uniform surface achievable.<br />
Heat was applied to speed curing.
