Industrial Metal Rapid 5 Minute Epoxy Paste
Industrial Metal Rapid 5 Minute Epoxy Paste is a metal-filled epoxy repair paste with a fast five minute work time used to protect and strengthen industrial metalwork, fill holes and large cracks, and repair areas of pitting caused by corrosion and chemical attack.
It is reinforced with corrosion-resistant metal platelets which provide good protection for surfaces in aggressive environments against corrosion and chemical attack. These platelets give a smoother finish than regular epoxy repair pastes when machined.
Industrial Metal Rapid 5 Minute is used for the maintenance and repair of pipes, restoring surface profile and improving integrity. It is also used to repair and protect tanks, pumps, valves, metal castings and automotive bodywork. It fills large cracks and gouges and rebuilds worn equipment.
As well as metal, Rapid 5 Minute is effective on metal, wood and most plastics. It does not however cure underwater or to wet surfaces.

Industrial Metal Rapid 5 Minute Epoxy Paste Details
Before applying Industrial Metal Rapid 5 Minute, surfaces should be free of paint, rust and grime before being roughened up through either grit blasting or grinding with a coarse wheel or abrasive disk pad. Full instructions detailing the preparation process can be found on the Technical Data Sheet and are provided with the product.
Industrial Metal Rapid 5 Minute should be applied as soon as the preparation procedure is completed. Part A and Part B are mixed together to the instructed ratio. The epoxy paste is then spread over the area requiring repair using a putty knife. Industrial Metal Rapid should be pushed in firmly to ensure maximum contact and to avoid trapping air between the paste and the surface.
The epoxy paste has a gel time of 5 minutes. A functional cure is achieved in 60 minutes and a full cure in 24 hours. For repairs where a longer gel time is desired, please see Industrial Metal Epoxy Paste which comes with a 60 minute work time. Industrial Metal also cures underwater and on wet surfaces.
Industrial Metal Rapid is thixotropic, meaning it will not sag. It is virtually odourless, with no unpleasant smell compared to other epoxy pastes.
Repairs made can be overwrapped with SylWrap HD, which will provided a rock hard, impact resistant layer over the epoxy paste.
Industrial Metal Rapid is temperature resistant to 95°C. For repairs to pipework exposed to extreme temperatures in excess of 95°C, please see Titanium Supergrade HT Epoxy Paste.
