DESCRIPTION

The most versatile of all set-fast filler pastes, AP014 ULTRA FILLER is a two component filler system that yields a smooth, creamy, thixotropic, and workable paste with superior handling, set-fast characteristics, and dimensional stability.  Once applied it forms a rigid, strong surface which can be machined, sanded, filed, or scraped to a feather edge.  AP014 adheres and bonds to fiberglass, SMC, RIM, BMC, Graphite, Kevlarâ, and other types of composites as well as aluminum, steel, grey iron, copper, plaster, models, patterns, and other substrates. AP014 offers the industry manufacturer a wide variety of applications for bonding, filling, sealing, and finishing with optimum physical properties.  AP014 ULTRA FILLER can be applied without pin-holing and exhibits no shrink or sink after curing. It accepts virtually all types of finishes e.g., lacquer, enamel, polyurethane, epoxy, etc., without any special surface preparation. It is a “no bleed out” system after finishing or if covered with a decorative film.  Its high quality, coupled with the set-fast feature offers industry substantial savings in time and labor plus top quality in the finished product.  AP014 can be used in areas of final fabrication, production, tooling, model & pattern making, repair operations, and in many other applications. Typical applications include: filling composites surface porosity, honeycomb panel edge filler, bonding loose pieces and details, vacuum mold repair and modifications, urethane mold repairs and modifications, FRP composite repairs, pattern repairs and fillets, core box repairs, and modifications, void and porosity filling, router fixture repairs, crack, dent and crevice repair, temporary holding fixtures, filling cloth impressions in pre-preg, non-conductive barrier potting, RIM/SMC/BMC surface filler, bonding inserts/hangers, urethane part repair, potting stripped threads, renewing worn surfaces and many others.
