Epoxy Adhesive Chemistik METAL EPOXY GLUE 5min 40g — two-component metal epoxy

Two-component Chemistik METAL EPOXY GLUE 5min (40 g) is a fast-curing epoxy adhesive designed for bonding and repairing metal surfaces. Supplied as a resin and hardener in a combined pack, the adhesive provides a short working time and rapid set, enabling fast fills, crack repairs, joins and small structural restorations on steel, aluminium and other metal substrates. The cured bond delivers mechanical strength and resistance to many common chemicals and solvents, making it suitable for workshop and maintenance tasks where a durable metal-to-metal or metal-to-other-material connection is required.

Advantages

The two-component formulation ensures a controlled chemical cure with consistent strength and gap-filling properties. The 5-minute work time balances rapid setting with enough time for positioning and adjustment. The product bonds effectively to various metals and to metal combined with composites, ceramics or many plastics when surface preparation is adequate. Once fully cured, the epoxy exhibits good resistance to oils, fuels and many solvents, offering a long-lasting repair or joint without the need for heat or special equipment.

Suitable for

• Repairing small cracks, chips and holes in metal parts
• Bonding metal components to each other or to other materials
• Filling gaps and rebuilding worn edges on tools and machinery
• Quick maintenance fixes in automotive, marine and industrial applications
• Adhesive anchoring for small fittings, brackets and fasteners

Key specifications

• Two-component epoxy system: resin plus hardener
• Pack weight: 40 g total (resin and hardener combined)
• Working time (pot life): approximately 5 minutes at room temperature
• Fast initial cure enabling handling within minutes; full cure time depends on temperature and joint size
• Suitable for metals including steel and aluminium; bonds to various other materials with proper surface prep
• Gap-filling capability for small to moderate voids
• Resistant to oils, fuels and many common solvents once cured

How to use

Ensure surfaces are clean, dry and free from grease, rust or loose paint. Cut or squeeze equal parts of resin and hardener from the combined pack and mix thoroughly until the colour is uniform. Apply the mixed epoxy to the prepared surfaces, press parts together or shape as required, and remove excess material before initial set. Allow the adhesive to cure at recommended ambient temperatures; handling strength develops within minutes but full mechanical properties are achieved after complete cure. Observe safety guidelines and use gloves and adequate ventilation while mixing and applying.

Usage recommendations

For best results, roughen smooth metal surfaces with abrasive paper and degrease before application. Use clamps or supports to maintain alignment during the initial set. Work in a well-ventilated area and follow manufacturer safety instructions regarding skin contact and inhalation. For larger repairs or high-stress joints, consider mechanical reinforcement in addition to the adhesive and allow extended cure time at moderate temperatures to reach optimal strength.
