SOLAREZ repair putty is a mixture of clear,
non-yellowing, high strength, fiber reinforced polyester resin and an
amazing solar activated catalyst. There is no mixing required, just use
it right from the tube. It gels in 30 seconds, curing in 3 minutes – but
ONLY when exposed to sunlight.
SOLAREZ 77200 is their original fiber-reinforced putty from 1987 with UV
inhibitors designed primarily for surfboard repair with weatherability.
It possesses good corrosion resistance and mechanical specs that make it
suitable for many applications repairing wood, metal and many plastics
except Styrenics, like styrene sheet and Styrofoam which it will melt.
Ceramic fibers impart higher heat tolerance as well as increasing the
puttyʼs overall adhesion as these fibers denier is quite thin and allow
for good mechanical “tooth”. Glass fibers impart good fill & formability
into voids that when cured, can be machined or tapped. The putty cures
(5 min.) upon exposure to the safer UVA light (365-400 nm) amply
available in natural sunlight and low wattage fluorescent suntan
bulbs.This putty exhibits a prolonged “B-Stage” whereby it remains firm
and rubber-like for a good 10 minutes allowing the user to cleave off
excess material and make for an easier final sanding.
In general, mechanical properties are good. It can be sanded, drilled
and tapped and is an excellent substrate for painting. Polyester putties
have long been used in the automotive industry as body fillers and the
fiberglass fibers increase the productʼs overall durability and
mechanical tooth as well as corrosion resistance
