The JB Weld AG582 Two-Part Epoxy is the definitive solution for industrial bonding and heavy-duty repairs. Known globally as "The Original Cold Weld," this steel-reinforced epoxy system is engineered to provide a permanent bond that is stronger than steel in many applications. The AG582 SKU represents the industrial size offering, containing a total of 10 ounces of material (5 oz resin and 5 oz hardener), making it an economical choice for maintenance departments, workshops, and manufacturing facilities that require frequent or large-scale adhesive applications.
Technically, this epoxy excels in harsh environments. It boasts a tensile strength of 5020 PSI, ensuring structural integrity even under significant load. It is formulated to withstand continuous temperatures up to 550°F (287°C), making it suitable for high-heat applications near engines or industrial machinery. The chemical resistance profile is equally impressive; once fully cured, the epoxy is impervious to water, petroleum products, hydraulic fluids, and many acids, preventing degradation over time.
Application is straightforward with a 1:1 mixing ratio. The mixture sets in 4-6 hours at room temperature and reaches full cure in 15-24 hours. Upon curing, the material transforms into a dark grey, metal-like substance that can be treated exactly like metal. It can be drilled, tapped, machined, filed, and sanded without cracking or crumbling. This machinability allows maintenance professionals to rebuild worn parts, fill voids in castings, and restore threaded holes with precision.
Versatility is a key attribute of the JB Weld system. While it is famous for bonding metals—including iron, steel, aluminum, and brass—it is equally effective on wood, ceramic, concrete, fiberglass, and some rigid plastics. This multi-material compatibility makes the AG582 an essential inventory item for MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) strategies, reducing the need for multiple specialized adhesives.
