How quickly does Superfast Copper set and return to service?
Work life is approximately 3 minutes. Within 5–10 minutes Superfast Copper hardens and forms a cohesive bond. After one hour, the TDS states the system can be put back into service.
Is Sylmasta Superfast Copper approved for drinking-water lines?
Yes. Superfast Copper has WRAS approval and is certified as safe to use on pipes and fittings carrying drinking water. Verify local acceptance of WRAS-listed materials for your potable circuit.
Which strength figures does the Superfast Copper TDS list after cure?
Full-cure Shore D hardness for Superfast Copper is 80. Lap shear tensile strength is 4.5 MPa on steel and 4.8 MPa on copper. Compressive strength is 83 MPa. Density is 1.9 g/cm³ (15.8 lb/gal). Values are typical for information only.
What continuous and intermittent temperature limits apply to Superfast Copper?
Upper temperature limits are 120°C continuous and 150°C intermittent. Store unused stick out of direct sunlight in dry, frost-free conditions between 5°C and 24°C for a 24-month shelf life from manufacture.
Can cured Superfast Copper be drilled, machined, or painted?
Yes. Once cured, Superfast Copper can be tapped, drilled, screwed, sawed, machined, ground, filed, or painted. The epoxy contains no solvents or VOCs, is non-flammable, and will not shrink or pull away when setting.
