Devcon® 10210 Plastic Steel® Liquid (B) is a steel-filled, low-viscosity epoxy liquid designed for precision casting, mold-making, and industrial metal repair. It cures to a durable, machinable finish, making it ideal for applications requiring accurate detail reproduction and high strength.
Key Features
Low viscosity & self-leveling : Easily flows into molds and hard-to-reach areas.
Steel-filled epoxy : Provides high strength and durability.
Machinable finish : Once cured, it can be drilled, tapped, machined, or painted.
High compressive strength : Withstands heavy loads and stresses.
Chemical resistance : Resistant to oil, gasoline, water, and many chemicals.

Applications
Mold-making and tooling : Creating holding fixtures, light-gauge forming dies, and molds.
Precision casting : Duplicating or tracing masters for short-run dies and molds.
Industrial repair : Filling and leveling equipment; repairing hard-to-reach areas where a flowable epoxy is needed.
Maintenance : Restoring worn parts and surfaces where welding or brazing is impractical.
Handling & Safety
Surface Preparation : Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from oil or grease. Roughening the surface can improve adhesion.
Mixing : Combine resin and hardener thoroughly according to the specified mix ratio.
Application : Pour or apply the mixed epoxy to the prepared surface or mold.
Curing : Allow to cure at room temperature. Full cure is typically achieved in 16 hours.
Storage : Store in a cool, dry place. Shelf life is approximately 3 years from the date of manufacture.
