Devcon Plastic Steel Putty (A) | Steel Putty for Metal Repair

Devcon Plastic Steel Putty (A) is a general-purpose metal repair epoxy formulated with steel reinforcement to restore worn or damaged metal components. The material forms part of the Devcon metal repair compound range, which is designed to rebuild equipment surfaces when traditional repair methods such as welding or machining are not practical. In industrial environments, equipment components can degrade due to corrosion, mechanical wear, impact damage or casting defects. When this occurs, replacing the entire component can be costly and time-consuming. Devcon Plastic Steel Putty (A) provides an alternative maintenance solution by allowing technicians to rebuild lost metal and restore critical surfaces directly on the equipment. The putty-grade consistency allows the compound to remain in place during application, making it suitable for vertical or overhead repairs. Maintenance teams commonly use it to restore worn shafts, rebuild damaged housings, fill voids in castings and repair other machinery components. Once cured, the repair forms a hard, durable material with a Shore D hardness of approximately 85 and compressive strength of around 8260 psi. This enables repaired surfaces to withstand mechanical loads typical in industrial equipment. Plastic Steel Putty (A) is positioned as a versatile repair compound within the Devcon metal repair range. It is typically selected for general machinery repairs where a durable, non-sag metal rebuilding compound is required.

Additional Information

Additional Information

  • Steel-Filled Epoxy Reinforcement
    Plastic Steel Putty (A) incorporates steel reinforcement within the epoxy formulation. This creates a repair material capable of rebuilding worn metal surfaces while maintaining structural strength after curing. The reinforced formulation helps ensure repaired components can continue operating under typical mechanical loads.


    Strong Adhesion to Prepared Metal Surfaces
    Reliable adhesion is critical when rebuilding damaged equipment. Plastic Steel Putty (A) is formulated to bond strongly to prepared metal substrates, with an adhesive tensile shear strength of approximately 2800 psi. This helps ensure the repair remains securely attached during equipment operation.


    High Compressive Strength for Equipment Repairs
    Industrial machinery often places compressive loads on repaired surfaces. The cured compound provides a compressive strength of around 8260 psi, allowing the material to rebuild worn equipment surfaces and restore the structural integrity of damaged components.


    Non-Sag Putty Consistency
    The putty consistency allows the material to stay in position during application. This makes it suitable for vertical, overhead and irregular surface repairs where liquid epoxies may run or pool. The consistency also allows technicians to shape the repair during application.


    Machinable After Cure
    After curing, the material forms a hard surface with a hardness of approximately 85 Shore D. This allows the repaired area to be machined, drilled or finished if required to restore proper equipment tolerances or alignment.


    Suitable for Industrial Maintenance Environments
    Plastic Steel Putty (A) is designed for maintenance repairs where durability and controlled curing are required. With a pot life of approximately 45 minutes and a functional cure of around 16 hours, the compound provides workable application time while supporting planned maintenance schedules.

  • Applications

    Devcon Plastic Steel Putty (A) is used in industrial maintenance to rebuild worn metal surfaces and restore damaged equipment components.

    • Repairing damaged metal castings

    • Rebuilding worn shafts and housings

    • Filling voids or defects in cast components

    • Restoring worn machinery surfaces

    • General industrial equipment maintenance and repair

    Always refer to the Devcon Plastic Steel Putty (A) Technical Data Sheet for complete instructions, recommended preparation methods and safety guidance before beginning repairs.


    Step 1: Surface Preparation
    Thoroughly clean the repair area to remove grease, oil, corrosion and contaminants. Mechanical preparation such as grinding or abrasive blasting is recommended to create a roughened metal surface that improves epoxy adhesion.


    Step 2: Measure and Mix
    Devcon Plastic Steel Putty (A) requires a mix ratio of approximately 2.5:1. Measure the resin and hardener accurately and mix thoroughly until a uniform colour is achieved with no visible streaks. Proper mixing is essential to ensure correct curing and performance.


    Step 3: Apply the Compound
    Apply the mixed putty directly to the prepared repair area using a suitable tool such as a spatula, trowel or applicator. Press the material firmly into the surface to remove trapped air and ensure strong contact with the substrate.


    Step 4: Shape the Repair
    While the compound remains workable, shape the material to match the required profile of the component. Excess material can be removed before curing to reduce finishing work later.


    Step 5: Allow the Material to Cure
    Allow the repair to cure under suitable conditions. The compound has a working time of approximately 45 minutes and reaches functional cure in around 16 hours depending on temperature and application conditions.


    Step 6: Machine or Finish if Required
    Once cured, the repaired area can be machined, drilled or finished as required to restore correct equipment dimensions or alignment.
