How to use Mastix cold welding?
Mastix cold welding allows joining parts without doing any deformation. This procedure can be compared with gluing. It is quite easy to use such a tool: you only need to understand certain nuances, features of specific types of material.
Special features
Today, various materials for cold welding are available to consumers. However, not all of these compositions are suitable for use with significant temperature variations. For this reason, not every tool is suitable for use in industrial environments.
Welding Mastix is a material that significantly surpasses many analogues in performance. Such a composition can be used both at low and at very high temperatures. This material is of higher quality than ordinary glue.With such cold welding, it is possible to join parts from various materials.
This composition can be used for new products that have not been exploited, and for broken parts. Mastix high-quality products even allow you to create new parts or lost items. With this material you can fill the cracks, various holes.
Mastix cold welding looks like a rod. This material combines different components: the first one is the outer shell, and the second is located inside.
Before starting work, you need to mix the material thoroughly, the result should be a soft mixture. She will be in this state for several minutes. Then the composition will begin to harden, and after a while it will completely harden.
Advantages and disadvantages
Such compositions have many advantages.
Among the most significant advantages there are several qualities.
- The two-component rod is very convenient to use.
- The cost of materials Mastix is quite acceptable, such products are available in different stores.
- This mixture can also be used by beginners.To use it, you do not need any special knowledge and skills.
- The manufacturer offers several varieties of such products. Consumers can purchase both universal compounds and welding for any specific materials.
- This material provides high strength compounds.
Cold welding Mastix has not only positive, but also negative qualities, but many buyers in the reviews call them insignificant.
- Having stirred the material, you should make sure that there are no lumps in it. Otherwise, then you may need to redo the work.
- Such a composition dries for a long time.
Scope of use
Mastix cold welding is suitable for applications in a wide range of applications. You should consider the external conditions and the type of composition. Most often, cold welding is used as an ordinary glue in order to fasten any elements with each other.
With this material, you can restore machine parts., plug the various holes and so on. Since this composition is different plasticity, it is very well suited for embedding cracks.Remember that the material must completely dry: before using the treated product is not recommended.
Frozen mixture will not be resistant to strong mechanical stress. However, this material is quite resistant to vibrations, so it can be used to repair moving mechanisms.
Welding Mastix successfully used to restore the plumbing (batteries, pipes). This material is suitable for the repair of furniture, aquariums, various household items.
Such mixtures consist of the following components:
- amine resin;
- metal fillers;
- epoxy resin;
- fillers of mineral origin.
Species
Different types of Mastix cold welding are available to consumers.
- For metal surfaces. The composition of this material includes metal filler, which ensures maximum efficiency of the compound. Before using such a composition, it is not necessary to make the surfaces completely dry: it combines well with liquid. For this reason, this material is often chosen for plumbing. Surfaces also do not need to be cleaned of dirt.
- Universal. Such welding is suitable for different surfaces. It is effective at different temperatures. Since this material can be used in many different cases, it is very popular: consumers leave a lot of positive feedback about such cold welding.
- Heat resistant (sold in red packaging). This cold welding Mastix is resistant even to very high temperatures (up to 250 degrees).
- For plumbing. Such material is suitable for metal elements, for porcelain.
- "Fast steel". This material contains steel fillers. With this welding, you can recover lost items.
- For products from aluminum. In this composition there is an aluminum filler.
How to apply?
If you are going to operate the Mastix cold welding, you need to carefully read the instructions for use. So you can not go wrong with the sequence of actions.
There are materials Mastix, characterized by resistance to pollutionHowever, before starting work it is still better to thoroughly clean the parts in any case. If you are going to use universal welding, be sure to remove the oil layer from the surface.
Cut a piece of cold-welded bar and mix it thoroughly. The result should be an absolutely homogeneous pasty mass. It will need to be applied to the surface. After that, connect the products, fix them and wait a little more than half an hour. They will finally connect in two to three hours.
The shelf life of Mastix cold welding is 2 years. Such material does not have to be disposed of in any special way. If applied correctly, it will be absolutely safe for human health.
Using cold welding, you need to exercise maximum accuracy: the material should not be on the mucous membranes. When using such a compound is recommended to use rubber gloves. So you can protect your hands.
