Repair cracks, holes and damaged flanges with confidence

Pyro-Putty 2400 – High-Temperature Metal Repair Compound for Service Temperatures up to 1,090 °C

Repair cracks, holes and damaged flanges with confidence

Extreme heat, corrosion and thermal cycling often cause cracks, pinholes and distorted flanges in industrial equipment. Pyro-Putty 2400 is a water-based inorganic high-temperature repair compound designed to restore cast iron, carbon steel and stainless steel components operating at temperatures up to 1,090 °C.

The single-component formulation contains ceramic and stainless-steel fillers, providing excellent thermal shock resistance, outstanding mechanical strength and easy application. It cures at room temperature, which is then heat-cured at approximately 95°C and can be machined and painted after curing.

Gas-tight sealing for pressurized applications

Whenever repaired components are exposed to pressure or hot gases, KAGER recommends sealing the repair with Corr-Paint™ CP4000-S2.

This silicone-ceramic coating cures at room temperature and provides outstanding protection against:

  • temperatures up to 538 °C
  • UV exposure
  • outdoor weathering
  • salt spray corrosion
  • direct flame exposure

Together, Pyro-Putty 2400 and CP4000-S2 create a durable, gas-tight repair solution for demanding industrial environments.

The Ideal Solution for Hot Cracks: Pyro-Putty 2400 from Kager

Repair Putty Seals Damaged Areas in Cast and Steel Parts Effectively

Dietzenbach, May 2024 – The trading and consulting company Kager expands its portfolio with high-temperature resistant repair and sealing materials. Pyro-Putty 2400, a metallic-gray paste, is particularly noteworthy for filling and sealing cracks, holes, and gaps in cast iron, steel, and stainless steel components. It proves to be a cost-effective solution for repairing thermally stressed components in engines, machines, and furnaces.

Benefits of Pyro-Putty 2400

  1. High Temperature Resistance: Pyro-Putty 2400 withstands temperatures up to 1090°C, making it ideal for repairing thermally stressed components in machinery, engines, and furnaces.
  2. Versatile Application: Perfect for sealing operational cracks in pipelines, filling unsightly gaps in cast and steel parts, and sealing leaks in exhaust systems.
  3. Easy Handling: The high-viscosity paste is stirred before application and can be easily applied with a spatula or brush.

Technical Details

  • Composition: Pyro-Putty 2400 consists of 25% potassium silicate technical ceramic and 50% stainless steel, providing its high-temperature resistance.
  • Packaging: Available in 0.45, 0.95, and 3.80-liter cans.
  • Drying Time: Air drying and curing take 5 to 7 hours, while heat curing (95°C) is completed in 2 to 4 hours.
  • Post-Processing: Once cured, the treated area can be mechanically and visually finished – sanded, smoothed, textured, and painted.

Application and Storage

Due to its straightforward handling, Pyro-Putty 2400 is suitable for both industrial repairs and various manual applications. It is especially popular for retrofitting vintage cars, where it is often used to repair old engine and transmission housings. Kager recommends a storage temperature of 13°C to 32°C, allowing for the storage of larger quantities without any issues.

With these features, Pyro-Putty 2400 offers an ideal solution for repairing thermally stressed components in various applications.
