LEAKAID

An effective repair material for facility maintenance: it adheres to oily surfaces and cures instantly for oil and air leaks!

Leak-Aid is an innovative leak repair material that instantly cures upon UV light exposure, making it suitable for various substances like oil, water, and gas.
It possesses the unique characteristic of being "oil-tolerant" , making it ideal as a sealant for hydraulic, air, and refrigerant piping where residual oil is often impossible to completely remove.

FEATURE

01 Adheres to Oily Surfaces	It possesses oil-tolerant characteristics before curing, and oil resistance after curing, making it ideal for oil leaks.
02 Cures in 1 Second with UV Exposure	Its instant curing ability allows it to solidify even while a slow leak is occurring. It also enables immediate on-site judgment of whether a repair is viable.
03 Optimal Flow Properties	It does not drip on vertical surfaces and easily penetrates into small gap.
04 Repairable	After curing, it can be sanded, scraped, or chipped away.

UV-Curing Leak Repair Material

LEAKAID is an innovative leak repair material that instantly cures upon UV light exposure, making it suitable for various substances such as oil, water, and gas. It boasts strong adhesive power and is effective even in situations where conventional repair materials like putties have failed to stop leaks. Possessing "oil-tolerant properties," it is ideally suited as a sealant for hydraulic, air, and refrigerant piping where residual oil is often impossible to completely remove.

◆Key Features

①Adheres to Oily Surfaces: Possesses oil-tolerant properties before curing and excellent oil resistance after curing, making it ideal for oil leaks.

②Cures in 1 Second with UV Exposure: Its instant curing ability allows it to solidify even while a slow leak is occurring. It also enables immediate on-site judgment of whether a repair is viable.

③Optimal Flow Properties: It does not drip on vertical surfaces and easily penetrates into small gaps.

④Repairable: After curing, it can be sanded, scraped, or chipped away (chiseled).

◆Primary Applications

Areas where complete oil removal is difficult, or situations requiring emergency/temporary fixes.

①Oil Leaks: Flanges, bushings, pinholes in welds and cast iron, radiator fins, etc.

②Air Leaks: Pinhole leaks in various joints and components, etc.

③Refrigerant Leaks: Pinhole leaks in copper and U-tubes, condenser and evaporator fins, etc.

④Other Uses: Manufacturing of resin products, similar to a simple 3D printer.

Examples of Application Areas

Application Procedure

Coating film and rust must be removed beforehand.
When applying the repair material to an area with an oil film, slightly mix the LEAKAID after application so that it becomes compatible with the oil.
Adhesion will be stronger if the bonding surface is free of oil.
The cured material can be easily removed by applying impact using a flat-head screwdriver and a hammer.

Adhesion to Various Materials

Heat and Pressure resistance

Operational trial experience exists, maintaining performance from -40°C to 80°C, with successful retention up to approximately 150°C.
Nitrogen pressure test data at 3.8 MPa is available. Further operational experience beyond this range is also available.

注意点

・Use in a well-ventilated area.
Failure to do so may be detrimental to health.
・Components of the sealant may volatilize during UV curing. Do not bring your face close to the sealant or directly inhale the vapors during the curing process.
Inhaling the vapors may be detrimental to health.
・Do not look directly at the light source while the UV light is switched on.
This may cause eye damage. Always wear UV-cut safety glasses or goggles during work.
Read the UV light instruction manual, especially the precautions, thoroughly before use.
・If the sealant adheres to clothing, immediately remove the clothing or peel off the sealant.
The sealant becomes hot immediately after curing. If the sealant on clothing or gloves is exposed to UV light, it will cure and may cause burns.
