Instant Adhesives
Fast bonding combinations for instant
performance
For speed and performance, these one-part cyanoacrylate
adhesives provide the best combination of bond strength,
cure time and viscosity. Ideal for bonding small parts where
a single drop per square inch can bond many plastics, rubber
and metals with tensile strength up to 5000psi.
