Damming, Molding, and Positioning Putty

Deacon Mold-Pac is a high performance damming, molding, and positioning putty designed for use across a very diverse range of industries. It remains flexible (non-hardening), is easily packed in place, asbestos free, resistant to all weather conditions, and can be quickly removed.

In the Mining, Cement, and Crushed Aggregate markets, the product is used to prevent backing compounds (epoxy) from escaping cone / gyratory crushers during a liner change. It's also used in wire rope applications to temporarily hold the epoxy resin in place on choker socket assemblies until hardened.

For the Manufacturing and Foundry industries, Deacon Mold-Pac is used as a damming / stop-off compound when pouring Babbitt bearings, zinc (Deacon Mold-Pac HD), retaining a pool of dielectric fluid during the EDM cutting process (Deacon Mold-Pac EDM), keeping holes and threads free of zinc during hot dip galvanizing (HDG) process (Deacon Mold-Pac EDM), and various casting operations.

In Aerospace and other industries when machining is conducted, Deacon Mold-Pac is used to suppress (absorb) vibration, prevent chatter, and fill in gaps on thin-walled parts, which creates a more efficient operation.

Deacon Mold-Pac Product Line

Product Characteristic Main Use Temperature Application
Mold-Pac Softest, Most flexible Vibration Suppression, Damming epoxy or Babbitt Best for applications under 900°F (482°C) Preventing backing compound (epoxy) from escaping Cone Crushers during a liner change

Reducing chatter, absorbing shock on thin-walled parts during machining

Pouring Babbitt Bearings

Dam up strands of wire rope when pouring open spelter sockets with epoxy
Mold-Pac HD Thicker, Drier than Mold-Pac Damming zinc Up to 1200°F (649°C) Pouring zinc or other high melting point materials into molds
Mold-Pac EDM Very sticky, Denser than Mold-Pac HD, Extreme chemical resistance Damming mineral oil or dielectric fluids, Filling gaps/voids externally Up to 1200°F (649°C) Keeping fluid in place during the EDM process

Keeping holes and threads free of zinc during hot dip galvanizing (HDG) process
