Metals twin-pack adhesive

Introduction

Rapid Steel adhesive is a two-part epoxy product reinforced with steel powder, designed for automotive and industrial repairs (such as sealing and bonding metal parts of exhausts, fuel lines, car bodywork, engine casings, pumps and industrial equipment). With its short initial set time and high resistance to pressure, stress, heat and solvents such as petrol and diesel, it is a suitable choice for urgent repairs, all kinds of joints and everyday use at home, in the workshop or at work. After mixing at a 1:1 ratio it reaches its initial set within a short time, and once fully dry it forms a hard, uniform surface that can be machined, turned, milled and painted, and that is resistant to common moisture, heat and chemicals. It is used as an ideal option for quickly replacing cold welding in emergency and professional repairs.

Applications

RAPID STEEL twin-pack metal adhesive is an ideal choice for the following:

• Automotive - transport
• Electrical and electronics
• Machinery and industrial repair
• Oil, gas and petrochemicals
• Casting and moulding
• Crafts and art
• Cooling and heating
• Metals and alloys

Main features

• Very strong adhesion to all kinds of metal surfaces: bonds firmly to a variety of metals and creates a durable, reliable joint.
• High tensile strength: resists pulling forces and keeps metal parts stable.
• Solvent-free: Has a low-odour formula, is safe for the user and is easy to use in enclosed spaces.
• Machinable, turnable, millable and paintable: After drying, the adhesive surface can easily be machined, turned, milled and painted.
• Can be used on all kinds of surfaces (horizontal and vertical): Is applied easily on horizontal and vertical surfaces and does not run or sag.
• Resistant to stress, water, heat, oil and chemicals: withstands pressure, moisture, heat, oil and chemicals.

Directions for use

1. The surfaces must be completely dry, clean and free of oil, dust and rust. For cleaning you can use solvents such as alcohol.
2. For metals and smooth surfaces, roughening the surface with fine sandpaper is recommended.
3. Dispense equal amounts of resin and hardener and mix them together on a clean surface. Mixing must be done carefully for at least 30 seconds to 1 minute to obtain a uniform mixture.
4. Apply the adhesive to one of the surfaces and join the parts together.
5. Hold the parts in a fixed position for 5 to 10 minutes so that the initial set is achieved.
6. The product reaches its final strength after about 24 hours.
7. If machining, turning, milling or painting is required, carry out these operations after the product has dried and cured completely.

Note: after use, put each cap back on its own tube (the light grey cap on the light grey tube and the dark grey cap on the dark grey tube).

Storage and warnings

• Store away from direct sunlight.
• Keep out of the reach of children.
