Unique Polymer Systems -‘Plastic Steel’ is a high performance, rapid-curing, synthetic metal repair compound specifically developed for on site repairs to metal components such as castings, worn threads, jigs and mould patterns.
Unique Polymer Systems -‘Plastic Steel’ is based on a unique epoxy resin system co-reacted with anorgano-sulphur / amine blend which are then interspersed with specially chosen pigments and fillers which allow the base and activator components to be packed in intimate contact with each other.
The reaction only occurs when the two components are hand mixed and the resultant blend produces a repair material with high physical and mechanical strength.
’Unique Polymer Systems -‘Plastic Steel’ also has the ability to set underwater which makes it highly suitable for submerged conditions.
