    About Structural Adhesives
    industrial info icon

    Compare epoxy, acrylic, and urethane adhesive options. Then learn about adhesive performance measures and best practices to create a strong bond.

    Epoxy Structural Adhesive Assortments

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Structural Adhesives. Epoxy Structural Adhesive Assortments.
    Keep a variety of epoxy adhesives on hand for a range of applications and materials. Epoxies are the strongest and most chemical-resistant adhesives. They bond especially well on metal.

    For quick repairs, these epoxies begin to harden in six minutes or less. Epoxies are the strongest and most chemical-resistant structural adhesives. They bond especially well on metal.
    These adhesives come in two parts that need to be mixed. The container size listed is the combined total of the two parts.
    Model Number HY4090—A blend of epoxy and instant-bond adhesive for a balance of strength, cure speed, and temperature resistance.
    Cartridge—To mix and dispense these adhesives, you'll need a mixer nozzle and dispensing gun.
    Thick Liquid—Flow into narrower gaps than gels and pastes, but thick enough to stay put on uneven surfaces.

    Cartridge

    With excellent resistance to corrosive chemicals, these epoxies maintain bonds in tough conditions.
    Epoxies are the strongest and most chemical-resistant structural adhesives. They bond especially well on metal. Choose an adhesive that hardens quickly for fast repairs, or one that hardens slowly to allow more time for positioning.
    These adhesives come in two parts that need to be mixed. The container size listed is the combined total of the two parts.
    Cartridge—To mix and dispense these adhesives, you'll need a mixer nozzle and dispensing gun.
