About Structural Adhesives

About Paint and Protective Coatings

Prepare foam pipe insulation for use outdoors. These coatings provide a clean, moisture-resistant finish that protects insulation from UV and ozone damage. They maintain their flexibility in the cold to resist cracking. Apply with a brush or roller. Reapply every two to four years.

Moisture-Resistant Reflective Silicone Coatings for Roofs

Made from silicone, these coatings are more durable than acrylic coatings for roofs and have better resistance to pooling water. They reflect up to 90% of the sun's rays to reduce cooling costs. Coatings are self-leveling and have excellent adhesion to most roof surfaces. They begin to protect against rain in as few as 60 minutes after application. Apply to a dry surface with a squeegee or brush.

Reflective Acrylic Coatings for Roofs

Reflect at least 85% of the sun's rays to reduce cooling costs. These coatings also restore and reinforce your roof by filling cracks and forming a water-resistant seal. Apply to a dry surface with a brush, roller, or sprayer.

Primer (sold separately) extends the life of the coating. It’s required for use on bare rubberized and aged asphalt roofs.

Quick-Set Wicking Instant-Bond Adhesives

For faster bonding, these adhesives begin to harden in half the time of our other wicking instant-bond adhesives. Also known as super glue, they have a thin consistency that allows them to flow into small gaps. Use an accelerator (sold separately) to shorten the time it takes the adhesive to reach full strength.

Instant-Bond Adhesive Gel for Hard-to-Bond Materials

Quickly adhere hard-to bond surfaces with these adhesives, also known as super glue. These thick gels fill gaps between parts and won't drip on vertical surfaces. Use an accelerator (sold separately) to shorten the time it takes the adhesive to reach full strength.

Dispense adhesives in syringes with a dispensing gun (sold separately).

Dispense adhesives in cartridges with a standard caulk gun.

PR Gel works especially well on plastic and rubber.

454 and 4541 are suitable for porous and dissimilar materials.
