The Industrial Challenge: Keeping the Heat on the Outside
In high-performance industrial environments—from aerospace and power generation to high-speed manufacturing—metal heat shields and critical components are constantly battling thermal stress. Over time, this extreme heat exposure leads to cracks, pinholes, and defects in ferrous metals like cast iron, stainless steel, and steel alloys. Traditional repairs, such as welding, often introduce new thermal stress points, require extensive downtime, and can be impractical on vertical or irregularly shaped components.
The Solution: Industrial-grade High Temperature Putty. This specialized material offers a robust, permanent, and efficient alternative, restoring structural integrity without the complexity and expense of thermal processes.
The Right Tool for the Toughest Job: Why a Specialized Putty is Essential
A standard epoxy or adhesive will fail instantly under the sustained thermal load of a heat shield application. Professional repairs demand a material engineered with a high Glass Transition Temperature (Tg) and exceptional thermal stability.
A high-temperature putty is formulated with ceramic and metal fillers to create a durable, non-sagging paste that:
- Withstands Extreme Heat: Maintains mechanical strength and adhesion at temperatures well above 1000∘C.
- Provides a Permanent Seal: Fills defects and cracks, preventing the propagation of failure and isolating the heat.
- Is Easy to Apply: Eliminates the need for specialized welding equipment, simplifying maintenance protocols and reducing time-to-service.
- Adheres to Diverse Metals: Forms a cohesive bond with the most common heat-resistant alloys.

Best Practice Application: Achieving a Flawless, Permanent Bond
The success of any high-temperature repair hinges on proper preparation. Follow these professional steps to maximize the performance of Incure Epo-Weld™ HTCP-950:
1. Preparation is Paramount
- Cleanliness: All surfaces must be free of grease, oil, rust, scale, and loose particles. Use an industrial-strength solvent cleaner and ensure the area is completely dry.
- Abrasion: For optimum mechanical lock, rough up the repair area. Abrasive blasting to create a surface profile is ideal.
2. Mixing and Application
- Single Component: As a one-part system, the HTCP-950 requires no mixing.
- Apply: Use a spatula or putty knife to firmly press the paste into the crack or defect, ensuring all air pockets are expelled. Trowel the material to a smooth finish or the desired contour.
3. Curing for Maximum Strength
- Ambient Cure: The putty requires an initial ambient-temperature cure time.
- Heat Cure (Essential): To achieve its maximum thermal and mechanical properties (its ultimate Tg), the putty must undergo a post-cure heating cycle as specified on the technical data sheet. Always follow the manufacturer’s exact curing schedule before exposing the component to operational heat.
Conclusion: Upgrade Your Maintenance with Incure Epo-Weld™ HTCP-950
Relying on temporary fixes or high-cost welding is no longer necessary. High Temperature Putty is the essential maintenance material for any industrial facility that operates equipment under extreme heat. The Incure Epo-Weld™ HTCP-950 provides the necessary thermal resilience, ease of application, and material compatibility to deliver a professional, long-lasting repair to your most critical metal heat shields.
