EPOBOND Epoxy Steel Glue

Key Features

• High Strength: EPOBOND provides a robust and permanent bond, specifically formulated to adhere to steel and other metals effectively.
• Versatile Application: Suitable for a variety of metal bonding tasks, including repairs, assembly, and fabrication.
• Easy to Use: The adhesive comes in a paste form, making it easy to apply precisely where needed.
• Durable Finish: Once cured, EPOBOND is resistant to water, chemicals, and temperature fluctuations, ensuring long-lasting performance.

Composition and Mechanism

• Two-Component System: EPOBOND consists of a resin and a hardener that must be mixed in equal parts before application. This chemical reaction creates a strong bond once cured.
• Curing Process: The adhesive cures at room temperature, typically reaching full strength within 24 hours, although initial setting occurs relatively quickly.

Safety Information

• Non-Toxic: Once fully cured, EPOBOND is considered safe for use. However, it is essential to follow safety guidelines during application, such as wearing gloves and working in a well-ventilated area.
• Storage: Store EPOBOND components in a cool, dry place to extend their shelf life. Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures or moisture.

Common Applications

• Metal Repairs: Ideal for fixing broken metal parts, including tools, machinery, and automotive components.
• Fabrication: Useful in metalworking and fabrication processes where strong bonds are required.
• Construction: Suitable for bonding metal structures and components in construction projects.
• Model Making: Effective for model builders who need to bond metal parts securely.

Application Process

1. Prepare the Surface:
   • Clean the metal surfaces to be bonded, ensuring they are dry and free from dust, grease, or rust.
   • Lightly sand the surfaces to enhance adhesion.
2. Mix the Epoxy:
   • Dispense equal parts of the resin and hardener onto a clean mixing surface.
   • Mix thoroughly for about 30 seconds until no streaks are visible.
3. Apply the Adhesive:
   • Use a spatula or applicator to spread a thin layer of mixed epoxy onto one of the surfaces.
   • Press the two metal surfaces together firmly, making any necessary adjustments within the first few minutes.
4. Secure the Bond:
   • Clamp the bonded surfaces together to maintain pressure while the adhesive cures.
   • Keep the surfaces undisturbed during the curing process.
5. Curing Time:
   • Allow EPOBOND to set for at least 24 hours for maximum strength. Warmer conditions can speed up curing, while cooler temperatures may slow it down.
6. Finishing Touches:
   • Clean any excess adhesive immediately with a suitable solvent before it cures.
   • Inspect the bond after the curing period to ensure it is secure and ready for use.

Advantages

• Exceptional Bonding: EPOBOND is specifically formulated for metal, providing a strong and durable bond that can withstand stress and strain.
• User-Friendly: The paste form allows for precise application, making it accessible for users of all skill levels.
• Long-Lasting Performance: Once cured, the adhesive is resistant to various environmental factors, ensuring that your bonds remain intact over time.

Customer Feedback

Users often commend EPOBOND for its strong adhesion and ease of use, noting that it effectively bonds metal surfaces without the mess associated with some other adhesives. The durability and resistance to environmental factors are also frequently highlighted as significant benefits.
