Summary for metal filler epoxy Discussion
Metal filler epoxy for stainless steel is discussed as a starting point for a low-permeation composite fuel tank application that must resist fuel and chemicals after cure. Patrick Powell asks for the best resin for bonding to stainless steel and says the material must have excellent fuel and chemical resistance. Steve Alles suggests checking an ASM engineering materials reference book or similar. Mike Loy recommends contacting Devcon, which he says offers several potentially suitable machinable products: a titanium reinforced epoxy #10760, a stainless steel putty #10270, and a ceramic putty #11700, with prices ranging from about $35 to $100 per pound. PlaterB Berl Stein adds that McMaster-Carr lists a number of metal-filled epoxies and can ship overnight, making it a practical place to start. The thread does not identify a single best product, but points to these suppliers and references as the main leads.
Q. We are looking for the best metal filler epoxy resin for bonding to stainless steel. The setup would result in a low permeation composite used for fuel tanks. Resin when cured must have excellent resistance to fuel and chemicals. If anyone has any advice or knows where to start looking for this material please post or e-mail.
Thanks.

A. Contact Devcon. They make several products which might fit the application.
- – A Titanium reinforced epoxy #10760
- – A Stainless Steel putty #10270
- – Ceramic putty #11700
All products can be machined.

A. McMaster-Carr lists a number of metal-filled epoxies. They ship overnight. Just as good a place to start as any.
Good luck from PlaterB
