Our Weicon Plastic Metal C is a high temperature grade of epoxy with a liquid consistency. This two-part compound is typically used for coating or casting applications and sets very hard. Once cured, it has very good physical strength and excellent temperature resistance (up to 220°C). It will also be grey in colour.
Plastic Metal C is used as an adhesive for large surface area bonding, for pouring out moulds, coating surfaces and more. It is used by a variety of industries around the world and has several features. Some of which include:
Plastic Metal C has one of the highest temperature resistance ratings of any of our epoxies. Once it’s full cured it can withstand continuous exposure to between -35°C and +220°C.
Since it’s an epoxy, other coatings usually bond to it which makes this epoxy repair compound a great choice for repairing and coating pitted and corroded parts that need to be powder coated. Since it has a liquid consistency before it cures, it can easily be poured over the damaged surface and will take up the small pits and voids left by slight corrosion.
Cured Plastic Metal C will have formed into a strong, solid mass with high mechanical properties. This quality epoxy repair compound has been trusted for decades in demanding industrial applications and subjected to numerous tests. A summary of some of the results are included in the table below (refer to the specifications tab for additional data).

Weicon Plastic Metal C is a two part epoxy. It has a mix ratio of 100:8 (resin / hardener). If using the whole kit at once though, there’s no need for complex measuring as extra space has been left in the resin container for you to add the hardener and stir.
Once the two parts are mixed, Plastic Metal C will have a liquid consistency that lets it be poured easily. This makes applying the epoxy easy, especially in situations where it needs to be poured into moulds or containers.
Since this is an epoxy resin that is often used for casting and making moulded parts, pour depth is very important. Plastic Metal C can be applied up to 60mm deep in a single application. This will cut down on production time for deep pour moulding work and larger cavity and gap filling.
During the cure process, Plastic Metal C exhibits very little shrinkage. Specifically, 0.01%.
Plastic Metal C is made with aluminium filled epoxy resin. It is completely non-corrosive and safe to use with aluminium, stainless and other kinds of metal. This epoxy compound is anti-magnetic and exhibits excellent electrical insulation properties.
Plastic Metal C is often used for applications that require an epoxy with excellent temperature resistance and a liquid consistency. It is widely used for:
