Novol N65325 Classic Aluminium Putty – 2.0kg (Body Filler with Aluminium Dust)
The Novol N65325 Classic Aluminium Putty is a high-performance, two-component (2K) polyester filler specifically engineered for areas prone to high thermal stress or mechanical vibration. Reinforced with fine aluminium dust, this 2.0kg tub offers superior heat conductivity and reduced shrinkage compared to standard fillers, making it the professional's choice for engine-adjacent panels, hoods, and structural repairs.
Its unique metallic composition provides a dense, rigid repair that mimics the thermal expansion properties of metal, ensuring your bodywork stays intact even under extreme temperature fluctuations.
Key Features & Benefits
- Aluminium-Reinforced Strength: Infused with metallic particles to provide increased mechanical durability and impact resistance.
- Exceptional Heat Conductivity: Effectively dissipates heat, making it ideal for repairs on car hoods (bonnets), boot lids, and panels near the engine bay or exhaust.
- Low Linear Shrinkage: The metallic content ensures the putty maintains its volume during the curing process, preventing "mapping" or outlines in the final paintwork.
- High Vibration Resistance: Its rigid yet slightly elastic bond makes it perfect for large, thin panels that are subject to constant movement.
- Superior Adhesion: Bonds aggressively to various substrates, including bare steel, aluminium, galvanized steel, and glass-reinforced plastics (GRP).
- Easy Sanding Profile: Despite its metallic density, it is formulated to be sanded easily with P80–P120 grit, finishing smoothly for the primer stage.
Professional Application Tips
- Thermal Areas: Always use Aluminium Putty on surfaces that get hot. Standard fillers can "pop" or crack when exposed to engine heat; N65325 expands and contracts with the metal.
- Mixing: Use the 2–3% hardener rule. For a golf-ball-sized amount of putty, use a "pea-sized" amount of hardener. Mix until the dark grey color is completely uniform.
- Layering: Apply in thin, firm layers to ensure the metallic particles are tightly packed against the substrate for maximum adhesion.
- Sanding: Because this putty is harder than "Light" versions, start sanding with P80–P120 to shape the repair, then refine with P180–P240.
Why Choose Novol Classic Aluminium?
When a repair is structural or exposed to heat, standard polyester fillers often fall short. The Novol N65325 bridges the gap between traditional welding and standard filling. It provides a "cold-weld" style repair that is far more durable for heavy-duty automotive applications, ensuring your restoration stands the test of time and temperature.
