Ceramic Adhesives

Often used for bonding and repair on exhaust systems, diesel engines, and gas turbines, these adhesives withstand high temperatures and provide excellent electrical insulation. Pastes will not drip or sag while hardening on a vertical surface, while thick liquids flow into small spaces and are easy to spread.
