ST90 twin-pack iron adhesive

Introduction

ST90 twin-pack iron adhesive is a two-part, epoxy-based product containing iron powder. The metal powder in the formulation of this adhesive makes it suitable for applications that require gap filling, surface repairs and strong adhesion to metals (especially iron). The very thick consistency of this product after mixing allows easy and precise use on all kinds of metal surfaces.

Once fully dry, this product forms a hard, uniform surface that can be machined, turned, milled and painted, and that is resistant to moisture, heat, vibration and many common chemicals. Its suitable working time also allows easy application for technical, industrial and repair users, making it a suitable substitute for surface welding or soldering.

Applications

• Filling intermediate gaps in pipes, frames and metal parts.
• Surface repairs and a suitable replacement for welding of parts with minor defects and corrosion in industrial and repair environments.
• Creating strong adhesion to metals, especially in applications related to iron and steel.
• Machinable surface; after drying, a hard, uniform surface is formed that can be turned, milled and painted.
• High resistance to moisture, heat and chemicals; suitable for use in the automotive, aerospace and oil and gas industries.

Main features

1. Epoxy formulation with iron powder:

A specialised composition that provides excellent adhesion to metals and is very suitable for gap filling and surface repair.

2. Thick, precise consistency:

Allows better control when applying the adhesive and when coating complex surfaces and various parts.

3. Suitable working time:

Allows technical and industrial users to carry out operations with more precision and without severe time constraints.

4. High hardness after drying:

Creates a solid surface with high resistance to pressure and breakage.

5. Machinability:

After drying, turning, milling and painting can be carried out on the surface.

6. Chemical resistance:

Resistant to acidic and alkaline environments and many common chemicals.

7. Replacement for welding and soldering:

In many repair and industrial applications it can be an effective replacement for traditional methods.

Directions for use

1. Surfaces must be completely dry, clean and free of oil, dust and rust. (Use solvents such as alcohol or petrol for this.)
2. For metals and smooth surfaces, roughening with sandpaper or a wire brush is recommended.
3. Dispense equal amounts of resin and hardener and mix them on a clean surface. Mixing should be done carefully for 1 to 2 minutes to obtain a uniform reaction.
4. Hold the parts in place for 1:30 to 2 hours so that the initial set is achieved.
5. Final strength will be achieved after about 24 hours.
6. If machining, turning, milling or painting is required, proceed after full curing.

Note: close each container with its own lid.

Storage and warnings

• Keep out of the reach of children.
• Wear gloves, a mask and goggles when working.
• Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct light.

Summary

With its special combination of epoxy and iron powder, ST90 twin-pack iron adhesive creates very high adhesion to metals, especially iron. The thick consistency of this product makes it possible to fill gaps, repair damaged surfaces and restore parts with precision and high quality.

After drying, it forms a hard, uniform surface that is resistant to moisture, heat and chemicals, and that can also be machined and painted.

Thanks to its suitable working time and high strength, this product is a practical replacement for welding and soldering in some surface repairs. It is also used for sealing and bonding metal castings (especially iron), wheels, chassis, industrial equipment, automotive parts and plumbing lines without the need for welding.

Other uses include repairing wear and correcting irregular surfaces on profiles, moulds, tanks and metal pipes.

If you are looking for a reliable, multi-purpose product for metal repairs in industrial and repair environments, ST90 twin-pack iron adhesive will be a practical and reliable choice.
