Wencon Cream
Wencon Cream is a basic two-component, epoxy compound with a wide range of applications for repair and rebuilding of worn, damaged, cracked and corroded metal parts.
Typical applications are corroded tanks, pump housings, impellers, valves, pipes, flange faces, roller bearing seats, worn shafts, hydraulic rams and heat exchangers. Wencon Cream is also excellent as a filling compound. Wencon Cream exhibits many of the characteristics of metals, which together with outstanding adhesion to all metallic surfaces makes the repair compound highly suitable for repair of corroded and worn metals.
- Wide range of applications
- Strong adhesion to all metal surfaces
- Low curing temperature

Wencon Cream
Wencon Cream is a basic two-component epoxy compound suitable for a wide range of applications. The compound is for repair and rebuilding of worn, damaged, cracked and corroded metal parts.
Wencon Cream is also excellent as a filling compound.
Wencon Cream shows many of the characteristics of metals, which together with outstanding adhesion to all metallic surfaces makes the repair compound highly suitable for repair of corroded and worn metals.
Wencon Cream is non conducting and will therefore not cause bimetallic corrosion. After curing the compound is resistant to oil, water, salt water and most diluted acids and a range of solvents. Heat resistacne ranges from 60° C (140° F) in corrosive and heavy load environ- mints and up to 250° C (482°F) when applied as a filling compound.
APPLICATION AREAS
Typical applications are corroded tanks, pump housings, impellers, valves, pipes, flange faces, roller bearing seats, worn shafts, hydraulic rams and heat exchangers. Wencon Cream is also excellent as a filling compound.
MIXING
Wencon products are designed to be simple to use and cost effective. Easy mixing ratios (1:1 by volume) reduce waste to a minimum and high specific volume gives high coverage rates.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Two-component solvent free paste consistency epoxy repair compound.
SURFACE PREPARATION
The surface must always be dry, clean and degreased
Applying to new steel surface:
- Grit blasting to SA 2,5
- if Grit blasting is not possible use grinding
- after grinding the surface must be degreased with Wencon Bio Cleaner
Repairing old steel surface:
- Grit blasting to SA 2,5
- Sweat out water and salts
- Grit blasting to SA 2,5 again
- Profile 75 microns
MIXING RATIO
Mix by volume 1:1. Mix until an even color is obtained.
POT LIFE
Depending on amount mixed and temperature. Mixed in small amounts, the pot life is approximately 30-60 minutes at 20°C (68°F)
APPLYING
Wencon Cream has a paste consistency and is applied by spatula, also on vertical surfaces.
CURING TIME
Curing will take place in 10-15 hours at 20°C (68°F)
REDUCED CURING TIME WITH INFRARED
This product is tested with and suitable for infrared curing. Curing with infrared radiation can reduce curing time significantly. Result can vary, depending on circumstances and equipment used.
MACHINABLE
After curing, the product can be machined, drilled and worked like metal.
