repairs
LOCTITE
®
3463™ is a versatile, dual component, easy to use,
steel filled epoxy repair putty. It is applied like a putty and when
cured it has a high compressive strength and good adhesion to
most surfaces. This product stops leaks in pipes and tanks, fills
oversized bolt holes, smoothes welds, and repairs
non-structural defects in castings holes in tanks. This product
is typically used in applications with an operating range of
-30 °C to +121 °C.
NSF International
Certified to ANSI/NSF Standard 61 for use in commercial and
residential potable water systems not exceeding 82° C.

GENERAL INFORMATION
This product is not recommended for use in pure oxygen
and/or oxygen rich systems and should not be selected as
a sealant for chlorine or other strong oxidizing materials.
For safe handling information on this product, consult the
Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).
Directions for use:
1. CAUTION: Do not apply to surfaces above 66 °C.
2.
Apply to clean and dry surface for best strength.
LOCTITE
®
3463™ can be applied to wet surfaces, but
bond strength will be lower.
3. For maximum adhesion, clean and sand surface.
4. Use gloves; do not mix with bare hands.
5. Cut required amount of material from stick. Remove clear
plastic wrapper from cut section.
6. To mix, first twist the material to produce a spiral pattern
of resin and hardener. Next, knead material for 2-3
minutes or until a uniform color is achieved.
7. Firmly apply for patch, repair or bonding.
8. For a smooth finish, wet a cloth or finger with water and
smooth.
Technical Tips for Working With Epoxies
Working time and cure depends on temperature and mass:
● The higher the temperature, the faster the cure.
● The larger the mass of material, the faster the cure.
To speed the cure of epoxies at low temperatures:
● Store epoxy at room temperature.
● Pre-heat repair surface until warm to the touch.
To slow the cure of epoxies at high temperatures:
● Mix epoxy in small masses to prevent rapid curing.
● Cool putty down.
