    Cartridge

    Join polyethylene, polypropylene, and other plastics standard epoxies can't adhere to. Epoxies are the strongest and most chemical-resistant 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.
    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 Potting Compounds

    Encase electronic assemblies in a layer of epoxy for protection from dust, chemicals, moisture, mechanical shock, and vibration. The strongest of the potting compounds, epoxies are rigid and wear resistant. They have excellent chemical and moisture resistance, withstand a wide range of temperatures, and provide excellent electrical insulation. All require a mixer nozzle and gun to dispense.

    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.

    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.
