Quick-Set Epoxy Structural Adhesives
For quick repairs, these epoxies begin to harden in 6 minutes or less. Epoxies are the strongest and most weather- and chemical-resistant structural adhesives.
These have two parts that must be mixed. The size listed is the combined total of the two parts. Use cartridges with a dispensing gun and mixer nozzle to simultaneously mix and dispense adhesives.
DP100NS is nonsagging, so it won't drip from vertical or overhead surfaces.

Epoxy Structural Adhesives
Epoxies are the strongest and most weather- and chemical-resistant structural adhesives. They work especially well on metals.
Two-part epoxies must be mixed. The size listed is the combined total of the two parts.
Use cartridges with a dispensing gun and mixer nozzle to simultaneously mix and dispense adhesives.
1838, 11C, and 1C meet ASTM E595, a standard used by NASA, so they produce almost no volatile emissions that could damage sensitive electronics and optics, even in a vacuum.
DP110, 14310, 14260, and 305-1/2 bond dissimilar materials.
DP125, 14255, and 14251 form flexible bonds.

Slow-Set Epoxy Structural Adhesives
To allow time to adjust and position parts, these epoxies remain workable for at least 90 minutes. The strongest and most weather- and chemical-resistant structural adhesives, epoxies work especially well on metals.
These have two parts that must be mixed. The size listed is the combined total of the two parts. Use cartridges with a dispensing gun and mixer nozzle to simultaneously mix and dispense adhesives.
Adhesives that meet ASTM E595, a standard used by NASA, produce almost no volatile emissions that could damage sensitive electronics and optics, even in a vacuum.

Optically Clear Epoxy Structural Adhesives
For invisible bond lines, these adhesives dry clear. Epoxies are the strongest and most weather- and chemical-resistant structural adhesives. Choose an epoxy that hardens quickly for fast repairs, or one that hardens slowly to allow more time for positioning.
These have two parts that must be mixed. The size listed is the combined total of the two parts. Use cartridges with a dispensing gun and mixer nozzle to simultaneously mix and dispense adhesives.
DP100 Plus, DP105, and epoxy in 4.5-oz. tubes bond dissimilar materials.

Toughened Epoxy Structural Adhesives
Toughened adhesives are blended with rubber particles for better impact resistance than standard epoxies. They form flexible, resilient bonds. The most weather- and chemical-resistant structural adhesives, epoxies work especially well on metals. Choose an adhesive that hardens quickly for fast repairs, or one that hardens slowly to allow more time for positioning.
These have two parts that must be mixed. The size listed is the combined total of the two parts. Use with a dispensing gun and mixer nozzle to simultaneously mix and dispense adhesives.
DP420NS, DP460NS, E-40HT, and 9462 are nonsagging, so they won't drip from vertical or overhead surfaces.
