ZDS-MR5003
ZDS-MR5003 Copper Repair Compound
ZDS-MR5003 repairs and rebuilds damaged heat exchangers, tube sheets, valves, and metal components. Its high adhesion suits prepared industrial surfaces.
Product overview
Copper repair compound for industrial components
ZDS-MR5003 is a paste for repairing and rebuilding heat exchangers, tube sheets, valves, and other metal components. It supports field-applied repair work on prepared industrial surfaces.
High adhesion helps the material bond to a properly prepared repair area. The product is a practical fit when the damaged area, required finished shape, and available access can be defined before the repair begins.
Key material properties
- Adhesion to prepared surfaces: Surface condition and preparation are important to the bond.
- Field application: Suitable for consideration in a planned on-site repair.
