A Weekly Summary of Polywater® News of Incredible Importance
Issue #712


          As follow-up to last week's summary of the 3 types of PowerPatch Transformer Leak Repair sealants (Type EP--80-gram cups, Type EPSC--slow-cure 350-gram cups, and Type EPCT--60-gram cartridges) we'd now like to point out three important things that all three versions share.

  1. All three PowerPatch types work in unison with the PowerPatch putty stick to seal active transformer oil or SF6 gas leaks. While PowerPatch sealant can be used without putty for certain applications (mending empty transformers, attaching metal sign plates, etc.), putty use is always recommended for active transformer leaks. Active leaks prevent PowerPatch alone from creating a good seal; putty must be applied first.

  2. Although putty is fundamentally necessary as part of a functional seal on active leaks, users must be aware that less is more. Putty creates a temporary seal to halt the leaking of oil or gas long enough for the sealant overcoat to be applied and cured in place. The 2-part PowerPatch Sealant is far stronger than the putty. Ideally, the surface contact area of the sealant should be greater than the putty's for optimal seal strength and longevity. Only as much putty as is needed to temporarily plug the leak should be used.

  3. Putty must not be used alone to permanently seal leaks. The putty creates a faster, stronger seal in the critical first minutes of application to plug an active leak, but its strength is inadequate to contain leaks over time. Its function is solely to contain a leak long enough for the long-lasting PowerPatch sealant overcoat to cure. It is the combination of short-term putty and long-term sealant overcoat that creates the permanent seal.
