Sylmasta Industrial Metal Epoxy Paste is a high-performance, two-part repair compound engineered for demanding maintenance environments. Formulated with metal fillers and corrosion-resistant platelets, it provides a tough, long-lasting bond to metal surfaces — even when applied in wet or underwater conditions. This thixotropic paste spreads easily without sagging and can be used vertically, overhead, or in tight spaces where traditional repairs may be impractical.
Supplied as part of a comprehensive maintenance kit, it’s purpose-built for plant technicians, industrial maintenance crews, and field service teams who need a reliable, fast-curing repair material that eliminates the need for welding or heat-based methods. Once cured, it forms a smooth, durable surface that can be machined, drilled, or sanded to match the surrounding material.
Whether used for rebuilding worn pump housings, patching through-wall defects in tanks or pipes, or reinforcing structural components, Sylmasta Industrial Metal Epoxy Paste offers high mechanical strength, strong chemical resistance, and long-term performance. It significantly reduces downtime and keeps essential equipment running with minimal disruption.
Key Features
Cures Underwater
Formulated to fully cure on damp or submerged surfaces, ideal for marine or pipe repairs.
Easy to Mix and Apply
Light thixotropic consistency makes it easier to work with than traditional heavy-bodied pastes.
Machinable Finish
Reinforced with corrosion-resistant metal fillers, it can be sanded or machined after cure for a smooth result.
High Chemical and Corrosion Resistance
Long-term performance in aggressive industrial or coastal environments.
Extended Working Time
60-minute gel time allows for careful placement before curing begins.
High Strength, Non-Shrink Performance
Delivers 11,892 psi (82 MPa) compressive strength with less than 1% shrinkage.
Recommended Applications for Industrial Metal Epoxy Paste
Sylmasta Industrial Metal Epoxy Paste is designed for routine maintenance, emergency repairs, and general restoration tasks across a wide range of industries. It’s well-suited for use in environments where downtime is costly and repairs must be durable and fast.
Typical applications include:
- Repairing holes, cracks, or wear in pipes and low-pressure tanks
- Sealing worn pump housings, valves, or fittings
- Rebuilding surfaces damaged by corrosion or abrasion
- Structural patching on equipment frames and supports
- Reinforcement of castings or worn flanges
- Emergency field repairs to equipment in wet or marine settings
Frequently Asked Questions
Can it be used on wet surfaces or underwater?
Yes. This epoxy paste is moisture-tolerant and can cure underwater, making it ideal for marine or submerged pipe repairs.
How long do I have to work with it once mixed?
The working (gel) time is approximately 60 minutes at room temperature.
How strong is the cured material?
Fully cured, it provides 11,892 psi (82 MPa) compressive strength and 5,511 psi (38 MPa) flexural strength.
Is the cured epoxy machinable?
Yes. Once cured, the material can be drilled, tapped, or sanded with standard tools.
Does it require heat for curing?
No, it cures at room temperature in 24 hours. Post-curing at elevated temperatures can improve its heat resistance up to 266°F (130°C).
What surfaces can it bond to?
It adheres well to metal, wood, most plastics, and composite materials. Proper surface preparation is essential for best results.
