Babbitrite®

A damming, molding, positioning compound

• Resistant to heat, cold, weather – free of moisture
• Holds tight, remains plastic and retains molten Babbitt and low melting point materials
• Is easily packed in place and reusable

• casting low melting point alloys and lead: Babbitrite® receives the impression from a casting and is used in positioning delicate parts. It is also used as a dam when pouring gates and vents to hold the molten alloy in position until it hardens. Babbitrite® helps produce chuck jaws and dimensional samples.
• stop off compound: for containing in lead alloy in the fabrication of lead punches and dies and to prevent low melting point alloys from contacting locating surfaces on shuttle bases.
• air conditioning and refrigeration: for sealing openings, joints and electrical leads around coolers and air-conditioning units. Babbitrite® remains flexible and in place when firmly applied.
• zinc crushers: in replacing mantles and bowl liners. Babbitrite® is used to dam all openings while molten zinc is poured for backing up the mantles and bowl liners.
• building installations: for sealing fan frames, air ducts, and openings through walls.
• machinery installations: used as a retainer when pouring 190F asphaltum in machine settings.
• soldering: holds solder while soldering wires on generators.
• splash welding: used as a shielding dam to protect operator and material from cutting compounds.
• welding and braising: protects motors and machine parts and aids in positioning.
• leaded pipe joints: retainer and tunnel material for molten lead for ball and spigot pipes.
• chocker sockets: used as a mold material in fastening wire ropes.

• heat treating: for coating machined surfaces to prevent scaling while in furnace. It is easily and quickly removed with minimal labor costs.
