About Structural Adhesives

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.

The size listed is the combined total of the two parts.

50132 works especially well on plastics and composites.

Epoxy Structural Adhesives

Epoxies are the strongest and most weather- and chemical-resistant structural adhesives. They work especially well on metals. For putty adhesives, slice off the required amount, then knead it together to form a moldable adhesive.

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.

The size listed is the combined total of the two parts.

Epoxy Structural Adhesives for Harsh Environments

With excellent resistance to corrosive chemicals and salt water, these epoxies work in tough conditions. Epoxies are the strongest structural adhesives. Choose an adhesive that hardens quickly for fast repairs, or one that hardens slowly to allow more time for positioning.

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.

Epoxy Structural Adhesives for Hard-to-Bond Materials

Fasten hard-to-bond plastics, such as polypropylene and polyethylene, with these adhesives. They bond dissimilar materials. Epoxies are the strongest and most weather- and chemical-resistant structural adhesives. Choose an adhesive that hardens quickly for fast repairs, or one that hardens slowly to allow more time for positioning.

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.

Flexible Light-Activated Instant-Bond Adhesives

These adhesives stay pliable for flexible bonds that resist cracking. For easy positioning, they begin to harden only when exposed to light.

1700A257 and 2454N1 fluoresce under UV light for easy inspection.
