Plastic-Steel

Plastic-Steel is a two-component epoxy resin system mixed with metallic fillers that achieves high mechanical strength after curing. The material is primarily used for repair, maintenance, and reconstruction work on machines, equipment, and components. Despite its name, Plastic-Steel does not contain steel in the traditional sense, but rather combines the properties of a high-strength epoxy resin with metallic particles.

Once the resin and hardener are mixed, a chemical reaction begins, resulting in a high-strength composite material. The cured material adheres to a wide range of substrates, including steel, cast iron, aluminum, concrete, and ceramics. It is characterized by high compressive strength, good chemical resistance, and minimal shrinkage during curing. Typical applications include the repair of cracks, voids, corrosion damage, and areas of wear. In addition, plastic-steel is used to fill defects, restore fits, or protect stressed surfaces. In many cases, damaged components can be repaired without having to replace them or perform time-consuming welding.

Depending on the formulation, different variants are available, for example, for high temperatures, severe chemical exposure, or applications subject to particularly high wear. Modern epoxy resin systems also allow for machining operations such as drilling, milling, grinding, or thread cutting. Thanks to its ease of application and versatile uses, “plastic steel” has established itself as an important repair and maintenance material in industry, trade, and maintenance.
