    Flexible Light-Activated Instant-Bond Adhesives

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Instant-Bond Adhesives. Flexible Light-Activated Instant-Bond Adhesives.
    Take your time to precisely align parts before bonding, and maintain flexibility afterward. These adhesives won't harden until you expose them to a compatible light source. They also remain elastic so the bond can bend without breaking.
    Thin Liquid—Seep into narrow gaps and joints that thick-liquid adhesives can't reach. Use when bonding close-fitting parts.

    Urethane Structural Adhesives

    Image of Product. Cartridge. Front orientation. Cartridge.

    Cartridge

    Urethanes are the most flexible adhesives, so they bond dissimilar materials and damp vibration.
    Some of 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.
    Paste—Thicker than liquid adhesives but still spreadable—good for filling gaps and covering surfaces.

    Quick-Set Epoxy Structural Adhesives

    Image of Product. Cartridge. Front orientation. Cartridge.

    Cartridge

    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.

    Epoxy Structural Adhesives for Harsh Environments

    Image of Product. Cartridge. Front orientation. Cartridge.

    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.

    Glue-on-a-Roll

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Mounting Adhesives. Glue-on-a-Roll.
    Apply this glue-like tape for a no-mess alternative to liquid adhesives, hot melts, and staples. Also known as adhesive transfer tape, these rolls have a thin film of pressure-sensitive glue on a peel-away liner. They are thinner and more conformable than tape with adhesive on both sides.
    Model Number 9482PC and Model Number 9485PC—9482PC and 9485PC are a good choice for precise applications, even on slippery plastics. They're reinforced with fiber so they keep their shape and don’t ooze out, unlike softer adhesives.
