Technical Data

PART NUMBERS: 6002; 6002AD; 16002; 16002MER; 6012AD; 6002DS; 6004;  

FAST DRYING: QUIKSTEEL firmly sets in 15 minutes, and is completely cured and ready to drill, sand, tap, prime, machine and paint in one hour (longer in colder conditions).

SHEAR STRENGTH – When cured (one-hour drying time) QUIKSTEEL has a shear strength of 740 pounds per square inch. This means that when two pieces of material are bonded together with a one-inch bond of QUIKSTEEL, it would take a pressure greater than 740 pounds to break the bond. For comparison, pine timber has a ‘shear strength’ of 400 pounds per square inch. QUIKSTEEL is almost twice as strong as pine timber.

TENSILE STRENGTH – QUIKSTEEL has a tensile strength of 6,200 pounds per square inch.

HARD: QUIKSTEEL is one of the hardest materials next to steel. Technically it is rated at D-87. "D" is the highest hardness rating in the Shore rating system. QUIKSTEEL can be compared to ABS plastic (material used to manufacturer automobiles) or the fibre epoxy wings on the B2 bomber. When cured, QUIKSTEEL can be machined in any way that steel or aluminium can be machined, drilled, tapped, milled, sanded, sawed, routed, primed, and painted. Anything you can do to metal or wood – you can do to QUIKSTEEL.

SEALS LEAKS UNDER WATER OR IN FLUIDS: QUIKSTEEL cures underwater and in all atmospheric conditions. Leaks can be sealed inside a container, tank, etc. with liquids still in the item to be sealed. Curing time is longer when used under water.

SEALS LEAKS WHILE LEAK IS OCCURING: If a petrol or diesel tank, oil pan, or any container has a rupture, QUIKSTEEL will seal the leak while the drainage is occurring. No need to empty container prior to repair.

IMPERVIOUS TO CHEMICALS: QUIKSTEEL is impervious to most chemicals including battery acids.

STEEL REINFORCED: QUIKSTEEL has the maximum holding power because it is steel reinforced, and manufactured using the highest grades of epoxy.

WITHSTANDS TEMPERATURES OF 260 DEGREES CELSIUS OR MORE: QUIKSTEEL maintains its qualities when exposed to temperatures in excess of 260 degrees Celsius. (+500oF)

LONG STORAGE LIFE: QUIKSTEEL has a minimum storage life of three years. This provides the user long storage life. QUIKSTEEL’S proprietary formula is the only brand that remains pliable before use. This insures easy mixing even after long periods of storage. DOES NOT CRACK OR FLAKE BEFORE USE.

IDEAL FOR REPAIR OF: Petrol and diesel fuel tanks, water tanks, swimming pool equipment, exhaust systems, boats, automobiles, trucks, plumbing, farm machinery, home, camping equipment, and hundreds of other applications.

QUIKSTEEL has world - wide approval to use with potable water (ANSI/NSF 61). NSF certifies all QUIKSTEEL brand epoxy putty products safe for the repair of drinking water pipes, holding tanks and dispensing components.
