Quiksteel Epoxy Paste - Technical Data

Technical Data

PART NUMBER: 17002

FAST DRYING: QUIKSTEEL PASTE firmly sets in 5 minutes, and is completely cured and ready to drill, sand, tap, prime, machine and paint in one hour. The paste formula permits moulding and also to flow completely into cracks for a complete repair. Cure is slightly longer in cooler conditions.

STRONG: There are two ways strength is measured. One is on the horizontal plan – this is called "shear strength" and the other is on the vertical plane and this is called "tensile strength."

SHEAR STRENGTH – When cured (one-hour drying time) QUIKSTEEL PASTE has shear strength of 680 pounds per square inch. This means that when two pieces of material are bonded together with a one-inch bond of QUIKSTEEL PASTE, it would take a pressure greater than 680 pounds to break the bond.

TENSILE STRENGTH – QUIKSTEEL PASTE has a tensile strength of 5,700 pounds per square inch.

HARD: QUIKSTEEL PASTE is one of the hardest materials next to steel. Technically it is rated at D-84. "D" is the highest hardness rating in the Shore rating system. When cured, QUIKSTEEL PASTE 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 PASTE.

SEALS LEAKS UNDER WATER OR IN FLUIDS: QUIKSTEEL PASTE 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. Cure time is slightly 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 PASTE will seal the leak while the drainage is occurring. No need to empty container prior to repair.

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

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

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

LONG STORAGE LIFE: QUIKSTEEL PASTE has a minimum storage life of three years. This provides the user long storage life. QUIKSTEEL PASTE’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.
