Features


PowerPatch® System

System contains necessary cable prep material for cleaning of cable. Use the PowerPatch® System's 2-part putty stick to block oil leaks. Then make a permanent patch with the fast cure, 2-part paste overcoat. Ensure optimal mix and performance with pre-measured packaging.

Seals punctures or cracks in hard to reach areas. Fixes leaks fast. At 70°F, the putty and sealant harden in about 10 minutes. Repairs made at temperatures as low as 40°F, have a somewhat slower cure. The finished patch is resistant to transformer oil and has held oil pressures in excess of 20 psi.

Preparation is important, and the kit approach provides everything needed to do the job, although in instances of excessive oil leakage or dirt accumulation, separate scrubbing rags such as Grime-Away™ Cleaning Wipes are helpful. Read detailed application instructions before using.
