Quick-Set Epoxy Structural Adhesives

For quick repairs, these epoxies begin to harden in 6 minutes or less. Epoxies are the strongest and most weather- and chemical-resistant structural adhesives.

The size listed is the combined total of the two parts. Use cartridges with a dispensing gun and mixer nozzle to simultaneously mix and dispense adhesives.

HY4090 is a blend of epoxy and instant-bond adhesive for a balance of strength, cure speed, and temperature resistance.

50132 works especially well on plastics and composites.

Flexible Light-Activated Instant-Bond Adhesives

These adhesives stay pliable for flexible bonds that resist cracking. For easy positioning, they begin to harden only when exposed to light.

1700A257 and 2454N1 fluoresce under UV light for easy inspection.

Fuel-Resistant Surface Fillers

Also known as sloshing compounds, these two-part epoxies bond to rough and rusty surfaces in fuel tanks to repair leaks and prevent further corrosion. They withstand permanent immersion in fuel, oil, and harsh solvents. Use them with metal, plastic, and fiberglass tanks. Mix the smaller can with the bigger one and pour into your fuel tank. Rotate the tank to coat the interior and dump out any excess. Allow to cure overnight. Size listed is the combined total of the two parts.

1.5-pint container can treat a 10-gallon fuel tank. 3-pint container can treat a 20-gallon fuel tank.

Epoxy Potting Compounds for Harsh Environments

Tough enough to be permanently submersed in seawater, these compounds protect sensitive electronics, such as circuit boards, semiconductors, and sensors in harsh environments. They resist moisture, salt, and chemicals, so you can use them in corrosive oil, marine, and mining applications. These compounds can also be used within autoclaves. Because they are epoxies, they are rigid, resist wear, and create excellent electrical insulation. They withstand a wide range of temperatures, and this formulation won’t crack or split as components heat up and cool down.

They come in a cartridge, so you can apply them precisely. To dispense, they require a mixer nozzle and gun (both sold separately).
