Product documents: Sylmasta Superfast Steel Technical Data Sheet
What does Sylmasta Superfast Steel Original repair on metal plant?
Superfast Steel contains steel for hard, fast-setting permanent repairs to anything made of steel or other metals. It also bonds to wood, glass, masonry, and many plastics. Typical work includes sealing metal pipework and rebuilding worn or damaged metal surfaces where a hard, non-rusting fill is required.
How fast is the Superfast Steel work life and return-to-service window?
Work life is approximately 3 minutes. Within 5–10 minutes Superfast Steel hardens and forms a cohesive bond. After one hour, the TDS states the system can be put back into service.
Does Superfast Steel Original have WRAS drinking-water approval?
Yes. Superfast Steel has WRAS approval and is certified as safe to use on pipes and fittings carrying drinking water. Confirm site acceptance of WRAS-listed materials before specifying for potable circuits.
What hardness and compressive strength does the Superfast Steel TDS publish?
Full-cure Shore D hardness for Superfast Steel is 90. Lap shear tensile strength on steel is 6.3 MPa and compressive strength is 90 MPa. Density is 2.1 g/cm³ with shrinkage under 1%. Values are typical for information only.
What upper temperature limits apply to cured Superfast Steel?
Continuous service is listed to 120°C and intermittent service to 150°C. Store unused stick out of direct sunlight in dry, frost-free conditions between 5°C and 24°C. The Technical Data table lists a 24-month minimum shelf life at 24°C; the Storage paragraph also states 18 months; see live-check note.
Can cured Sylmasta Superfast Steel be machined without rusting?
Yes. Superfast Steel cures metallic dark grey and can be tapped, drilled, screwed, sawed, machined, ground, filed, or painted. The TDS states it does not rust. The epoxy is solvent-free and VOC-free, non-flammable, and will not shrink or pull away when setting.
