Heat Absorbing Compound Blocks Heat Transfer Through Metal

A heat absorbing compound that protects metal from heat damage and prevents heat from traveling through the metal surface which can damage and discolor parts is available from Alvin® Products (Everett, MA). The Heat-Block is a compound formulated to eliminate and protect metal against heat damage and discoloration during brazing, soldering, welding, and other procedures. Simple to use, just apply the heat absorbing paste directly from the container onto the metal and it will absorb and dissipate heat; preventing it from traveling through the metal surface.

Protecting parts in close proximity such as pipes, valves, internal gaskets, and other components that could be damaged during installation or repair work requiring heat applied by torch or a soldering iron, the Heat-Block is a water-based compound and is reusable. This heat sink compound stops heat related damages such as buckling, cracking, warping, and discoloration.

The Heat-Block is offered in pint, quart, one gallon and five gallon sizes. It cleans up with soap and water.
