Urethane Structural Adhesives
Urethane adhesives are the most flexible, so they bond dissimilar materials and damp vibration.
The size listed is the combined total of the two parts. Use 1.64 fl. oz. and 1.69 fl. oz. cartridges with a dispensing gun and mixer nozzle to simultaneously mix and dispense adhesives. Dispense adhesives in 10.1 fl. oz. cartridges with a standard caulk gun.
DP604NS and DP605NS stay flexible at low temperatures.
U-05FL, U-09FL, and U-09LV won't yellow.
5570 is also known as silane modified polymer.

High-Strength Urethane Structural Adhesives
With high shear strength and peel strength, these form the strongest bonds of our urethane adhesives. Urethanes are the most flexible adhesives, so they bond dissimilar materials and damp vibration.
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.

Urethane Potting Compounds
Encase electronic assemblies in a layer of urethane for protection from dust, moisture, chemicals, mechanical shock, and vibration. Urethanes withstand a wide range of temperatures and are the best choice for cold-temperature applications. They have excellent flexibility, good chemical and moisture resistance, and provide good electrical insulation.
Cartridge potting compounds can be applied precisely through the included mixer nozzle. You’ll need a dispensing gun (sold separately). US2350™ also require a 4:1 plunger (sold separately) to dispense.
Bottle potting compounds are easier to apply in high volumes than cartridge potting compounds. Mix the compounds together and pour them over components inside potting boxes and other containers. If mixing introduces any air bubbles, put the mixture in a vacuum chamber.
Compounds that cannot be sold to the listed areas are restricted by product labeling requirements.

Urethane Potting Compounds for Harsh Environments
From shore to sea floor, these potting compounds are formulated for permanent submersion in water—even salt water. Use them to protect circuits and splices in pumps, underwater lighting, and other underwater electronics from corrosion and chemicals. Made of urethane, they withstand a wide range of temperatures, especially cold underwater conditions. They provide good electrical insulation and have excellent flexibility. Since they’re more flexible than epoxy compounds, they’re often used to protect against vibration and impact.
Mix the two parts of these compounds together and pour them over components inside a potting box or other container. If mixing causes air bubbles, put the mixture in a vacuum chamber to remove them.

Flexible Epoxy Potting Compounds
Combine the flexibility of silicone with the durability of standard epoxy—these compounds are great for protecting sensitive electronics that need to flex or expand and contract. Because they’re an epoxy, they still have excellent moisture, chemical, and abrasion resistance. They withstand a wide range of temperatures, and this formulation won’t crack or split as components heat up and cool down. These compounds are excellent electrical insulators, and they’ll shield your components from moisture and dust. You can also use them as an adhesive since they’re also tacky.
They come in a cartridge, so you can apply them precisely. To dispense, they require a mixer nozzle and gun (both sold separately).

High-Strength Self-Leveling Concrete Joint Sealants
Seal concrete joints in high-traffic locations—these sealants stand up to heavy wear and tear, such as steel wheel traffic. Thinner than non-sagging sealants, these flow easily into cracks and have a smooth finish.
Elongation and joint compression/expansion tolerance indicate flexibility—the higher the values are, the more joint movement sealants can sustain. These sealants are best suited to joints between similar materials that aren't exposed to wide temperature fluctuation. For high-wear applications, choose a harder sealant for the most abrasion resistance.
