A steel-filled, fast-setting epoxy putty for filling, rebuilding, and bonding metal surfaces.
Intended Use: Industrial Use: Restores worn or fatigued metals; patches castings; makes jigs and fixtures; rebuilds pump and
valve bodies; restores bearing journals and races
Features: Bonds to aluminum, concrete, and many other metals
Resistant to chemicals and most acids, bases, solvents, and alkalis
Applies easily to vertical surfaces
Machinable to metallic finish
Limitations: Suitability of product is determined by the end user for their application and process.
Not recommended for long term exposure to concentrated acids or to organic solvents
ARGE SIZES: (25 lb., 30 lb., 50 lb. buckets): Use a T-shaped mixing paddle or a propeller-type Jiffy Mixer Model ES
on an electric drill. Thoroughly fold putty by vigorously moving paddle/propeller up and down until a homogenous mix of
resin and hardener is attained.
Application 1. Spread mixed material on repair area and work firmly into substrate to ensure maximum surface contact.
Instructions: 2. Assemble with mating part within recommended working time.
3. Apply firm pressure between mating parts to minimize any gap and ensure good contact (a small fillet of epoxy
should flow out the edges to display adequate gap fill.) Plastic Steel® 5-Minute® Putty (SF) fully cures in 16 hours,
at which time it can be machined, drilled, or painted.
FOR BRIDGING LARGE GAPS OR HOLES
Place fiberglass sheet, expanded metal, or mechanical fasteners between repair area and Plastic Steel® 5 Minute®
Putty (SF) prior to application.
FOR VERTICAL SURFACE APPLICATIONS
Plastic Steel® 5 Minute® Putty (SF) can be troweled up to ¼” (6.4 mm) thick without sagging.
FOR MAXIMUM PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
Cure at room temperature for 2.5 hours, then heat cure for 4 hours @ 200°F (93°C)
FOR ± 70°F APPLICATIONS
Applying epoxy at temperatures below 70°F (21°C) lengthens functional cure and pot lifetimes. Conversely, applying
above 70°F (21°C) shortens functional cure and pot life.
MACHINING:
Allow material to cure for at least one hour before machining.
