The Original Quiksteel from CarGo Chemical, USA has a tremendous and loyal following worldwide due to its performance where there is no equal but only imitators. Now get a chance to buy the original product from Project Sales Corp, importers and distributors of some of the finest maintenance brands like Laco Markal, Birkosit, Marston, Arexons, SPC Brady and more.

Description: QuikSteel is a two component epoxy resin in a single stick; the outer layer is the epoxy and the core the activator.

How does it work?: QuikSteel cures by chemical reaction initiated by kneading the putty until epoxy and activator are thoroughly mixed. It will set hard in any atmospheric conditions, and even immersed in fluids, within 15 - 30 minutes and achieve full chemical cure within 1 hour.

Where can you use it?: QuikSteel adheres to and bonds virtually all solid surfaces including all metals, wood, masonry, glass and most plastics. For perfect adhesion, it is essential that the surfaces are free of contamination and debris. If applied under water, QuikSteel should be held in position for 2-3 minutes to allow it to start bonding with the substrate.

Technical properties: Quiksteel is resistant to temperatures between -70ºC and +260ºC and, once cured, is impervious to most acids and solvents (including petrol and diesel). It does not conduct electricity and can be used as an insulating material. (For further technical properties, please refer to the product label.) QuikSteel can be drilled, sawn, milled, ground, filed, tapped, sanded, painted and lacquered once it has cured.

Data Sheet

FAST DRYING: QUIKSTEEL firmly sets in 15 minutes, and is completely cured and ready to drill, sand, tap, prime, machine and paint in one hour (longer in colder conditions).

STRONG: There are two ways strength is measured. One is on the horizontal plan – this is called "shear strength" and the other is on the vertical plane and this is called "tensile strength."

SHEAR STRENGTH – When cured (one-hour drying time) QUIKSTEEL has a shear strength of 740 pounds per square inch. This means that when two pieces of material are bonded together with a one-inch bond of QUIKSTEEL, it would take a pressure greater than 740 pounds to break the bond. For comparison, pine timber has a ‘shear strength’ of 400 pounds per square inch. QUIKSTEEL is almost twice as strong as pine timber.

TENSILE STRENGTH – QUIKSTEEL has a tensile strength of 6,200 pounds per square inch.

HARD: QUIKSTEEL is one of the hardest materials next to steel. Technically it is rated at D-87. "D" is the highest hardness rating in the Shore rating system. QUIKSTEEL can be compared to ABS plastic (material used to manufacturer automobiles) or the fibre epoxy wings on the B2 bomber. When cured, QUIKSTEEL can be machined in any way that steel or aluminium can be machined, drilled, tapped, milled, sanded, sawed, routed, primed, and painted. Anything you can do to metal or wood – you can do to QUIKSTEEL.

SEALS LEAKS UNDER WATER OR IN FLUIDS: QUIKSTEEL cures underwater and in all atmospheric conditions. Leaks can be sealed inside a container, tank, etc. with liquids still in the item to be sealed. Curing time is longer when used under water.

SEALS LEAKS WHILE LEAK IS OCCURING: If a petrol or diesel tank, oil pan, or any container has a rupture, QUIKSTEEL will seal the leak while the drainage is occurring. No need to empty container prior to repair.

IMPERVIOUS TO CHEMICALS: QUIKSTEEL is impervious to most chemicals including battery acids.

STEEL REINFORCED: QUIKSTEEL has the maximum holding power because it is steel reinforced, and manufactured using the highest grades of epoxy.

WITHSTANDS TEMPERATURES OF 260 DEGREES CELSIUS OR MORE: QUIKSTEEL maintains its qualities when exposed to temperatures in excess of 260 degrees Celsius. (+500oF)

LONG STORAGE LIFE: QUIKSTEEL has a minimum storage life of three years. This provides the user long storage life. QUIKSTEEL’S proprietary formula is the only brand that remains pliable before use. This insures easy mixing even after long periods of storage. DOES NOT CRACK OR FLAKE BEFORE USE.

IDEAL FOR REPAIR OF: Petrol and diesel fuel tanks, water tanks, swimming pool equipment, exhaust systems, boats, automobiles, trucks, plumbing, farm machinery, home, camping equipment, and hundreds of other applications.

QUIKSTEEL has world - wide approval to use with potable water (ANSI/NSF 61). NSF certifies all QUIKSTEEL brand epoxy putty products safe for the repair of drinking water pipes, holding tanks and dispensing components.
