Gel Adhesives | McMaster-Carr

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. Use cartridges with a dispensing gun and mixer nozzle to simultaneously mix and dispense adhesives.

Anchoring Adhesives for Concrete

Permanently set threaded rods, studs, and rebar in dry concrete with these two-part epoxies. They form a weather-resistant chemical bond that seals out moisture and resists vibration and dynamic loads better than mechanical anchors. The size listed is the combined total of the two parts. Warning: Allowable pull-out strength is 25% of ultimate values or less, as required by building authorities.

Adhesives in cartridges can also be used in damp concrete. Use a mixer nozzle and dispensing gun (dispensing gun sold separately) to simultaneously mix and dispense adhesive.

Threadlocker Gel

This gel clings to fasteners to prevent drips. It begins to harden once coated surfaces are threaded together and exposure to air is blocked.

Primer (sold separately) cleans the surface and decreases the time to reach full strength. It is recommended when working with aluminum, stainless steel, and titanium; black-oxide finishes, and cadmium and zinc coatings.

Threadlockers in sticks dispense with a twist.

Heat-Transfer Potting Compounds

Formulated to draw heat away from sensitive electronic components, these potting compounds have higher thermal conductivity than standard potting compounds. Use them to encase electronic assemblies for protection from dust, chemicals, moisture, mechanical shock, and vibration. Rigid and wear resistant, epoxies are the strongest of the potting compounds. They have excellent chemical and moisture resistance, withstand a wide range of temperatures, and provide excellent electrical insulation.

Shoe and Boot Protective Epoxy Coatings

Extend the life of your footwear with these abrasion- and water-resistant epoxies. Stronger and more durable than most footwear materials, these epoxies are often used to coat and repair high-wear areas prone to rips, cracks, and water exposure, such as safety toes. They permanently bond to leather, plastic, and rubber. Each cartridge includes enough epoxy to coat the toes on one pair of shoes or boots. They fully harden in 24 hours and dry with a gloss finish, which can be rubbed away for a matte finish.
