Superfast Steel Epoxy Putty Stick
Superfast Steel Epoxy Putty Stick is a steel-filled epoxy putty in an easy-to-use stick format. It has a 3-minute work time for making rapid repairs to steel, iron and other ferrous metals. Superfast Steel has WRAS approval and is most commonly used in pipe repair applications.
Each Steel Stick weighs 114g, has a nominal 22mm diameter and is 175mm long. It contains resin on the outside and hardener in the middle. The user simply cuts off the required amount of putty from the Stick and kneads by hand before applying to the substrate to be repaired or bonded.
Superfast Steel is pushed into cracks and holes in domestic and industrial pipework when pressure is turned off. It will quickly cure to a rock-hard material, sealing the leak with pressure resistance to 30 bar. WRAS approval means Superfast Steel is certified as safe to use with drinking water.
It also repairs exterior pipe surface damage caused by pitting and corrosion. Applying Superfast Steel to fill-in and rebuild weakened areas increases outer wall thickness, strengthening pipeline integrity.
Away from pipe repair, Superfast Steel fills holes in metal machinery and bonds parts together. Although the target substrate is steel, it adheres to most other materials. It sets to a grey colour to appear uniform with metalwork.
Superfast Steel is resistant to water, chemicals and temperatures up to 150ºC. It makes interior or exterior repairs. Within one hour of application, systems can be put back into full use. The cured material can be tapped, drilled, screwed, sawed, machined, ground, filed, or painted.
Superfast Steel Epoxy Putty Stick Details
To use a Superfast Steel Stick, the amount of epoxy putty required is cut off and kneaded by hand until it turns a uniform grey colour with no streaks.
Whilst soft, the putty is pushed into holes and cracks in pipes and metalwork where it will cure, sealing and filling areas of damage. For bonding, you apply the putty and use it to attach the pieces requiring repair together.
Superfast Steel has a work life of approximately 3 minutes. Within 5–10 minutes, it will harden and form a cohesive bond. A full repair is completed in one hour.
It contains no solvents or VOC’s, it is non-flammable and releases no noxious fumes. It will not shrink or pull away and the unused portion of Steel Stick stays fresh for future use when saved in its original package.
Pipe repairs made with Superfast Steel Stick can be overwrapped with a SylWrap Pipe Repair Bandage for added reinforcement. Superfast Steel and SylWrap Bandage can be purchased together as part of the SylWrap Standard Pipe Repair Kit.
Please note that for fixing a steel or iron pipe, Superfast Steel is only effective when water pressure can be turned off. For carrying out live leak pipe repairs, please see Wrap & Seal Waterproof Pipe Repair Tape.
For repairs subjected to extreme heat in excess of 150°C, please see Superfast Titanium High Temperature Epoxy Putty Stick. Superfast Titanium has been specifically formulated to offer temperature resistance up to 280°C.
