Piocol Heat Sink : Heat Absorbing Paste

Piocol Heat sink: Piocol heat sink is special chemical formulation which is designed for reducing the transfer of heat to a great extend. Piocol HEAT sink is an insulation compound with unique heat absorbing properties which insulate against heat transfer during welding, soldering, brazing or other heat treatment. The heat absorption properties protect closely soldered parts, valve gasketing, thin gauge metal, and other materials which could be damaged during repair or installation work. HEAT Sink is used to protect plastic drain pipes in close proximity to metal pipes being replaced or soldered. HEAT Sink prevents distortion to light gauge metals, protects rubber and plastic components, and painted or finished surfaces while soldering, brazing or welding.

Applications:

  1. Protect Painted Surfaces:
    • Protect painted surfaces from heat damage during welding operations.
  1. Sweating a pipe:

Soldered fittings, also called “sweat fittings,” are used to join copper pipes such as those commonly encountered in some in-wall tub/shower applications. Soldering a pipe joint or “sweating a pipe” is accomplished by heating a copper fitting with a propane torch until the fitting is just hot enough to melt metal solder. The heat draws the solder into the gap between the fitting and pipe to form a watertight seal. Though a strong and inexpensive method of joining copper pipes, soldering requires some skill and attention to safety. Flexible copper tubing can also be joined with compression fittings or flare fittings (these do not require soldering)Protecting Plastic Drain Pipes:

  1. Automotive Repairs:
    • Safeguard wiring and rubber components from excessive heat during engine repairs.
  1. HVAC/R Installations:
    • Protect tubing and surrounding surfaces from damage during HVAC system soldering or brazing.

    • Protect electrical components and wiring from heat during industrial soldering.
  1. Preventing Surface Marks:
    • Ensure that no stains or marks are left on surfaces after heat treatments.
  1. Protecting Gaskets:
    • Guard valve gaskets from heat damage during plumbing repairs or soldering.
  1. Preserving Heat-Sensitive Materials:
    • Shield materials sensitive to heat from damage during welding or soldering.
  1. Protecting Finished Surfaces:
    • Maintain the integrity of finished surfaces while conducting high-temperature tasks.

Usage Instructions:

  1. Clean the surface to which Heat Sink is to be applied, removing all dirt and grease.
  2. Apply a thick layer of Heat Sink (1/2″ to 3/4″ thick), completely surrounding the area to be welded or soldered.
  3. Press tightly to remove air pockets and voids.
  4. Once the repair is complete, remove Heat Sink with a damp rag or running water.
  5. Heat Sink should leave no stain or marks.

Additional Information:

  • Heat Sink contains no toxic materials and is harmless to the skin.
  • It is nonflammable and gives off no toxic fumes when exposed to heat.
