    Cartridge

    Single-Use Packet

    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.

    These adhesives come in two parts that need to be mixed. The container size listed is the combined total of the two parts.
    7524A161 is solvent free. If the adhesive hardens in the tube, soften in warm water before dispensing.
    Model Number 305-1/2—Do not contain solvents.
    Cartridge—To mix and dispense these adhesives, you'll need a mixer nozzle and dispensing gun.
    Paste—Thicker than liquid adhesives but still spreadable—good for filling gaps and covering surfaces.
    Thick Liquid—Flow into narrower gaps than gels and pastes, but thick enough to stay put on uneven surfaces.

    Epoxy Structural Adhesives for Harsh Environments

    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.
