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

    Epoxy Structural Adhesives

    Cartridge

    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.
    7524A161 is solvent free. If the adhesive hardens in the tube, soften in warm water before dispensing.
    Model Number 305-1/2 and Model Number 310A/B—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.

    Tapered Tip

    To simultaneously mix and dispense two-part adhesives, attach these mixer nozzles to a dual cartridge. Mixing elements help combine the two parts of an adhesive as it flows through the nozzle. A short nozzle with many mixing elements combines adhesive while minimizing the adhesive left in the nozzle after dispensing. Choose a nozzle that matches the connection type, size, and mix ratio of your adhesive cartridge.

    Cartridge

    Even in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces, these epoxies form bonds without the noticeable odor other structural adhesives leave behind.
    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.
