Anaerobic
Used to strengthen the bond between metal parts. Anaerobic adhesives and sealants rapidly cure in the absence of air. Types of anaerobic adhesives include: Retaining Compounds, Thread locker, Thread Sealant, and Form in Place Gasket. Each of these types is available in various strengths, temperature resistance, set speed, viscosity and gap fill.
Cyanoacrylates
Sometimes called super glue, cyanoacrylate adhesives show “instant” cure properties and bond to a wide variety of materials. The residual moisture naturally occurring on the surface of the components cause the cyanoacrylates to cure.
Epoxies
It's the Jack of all trades adhesive. It's the adhesive that can handle just about every need while also being very resitant to external environmental factors. Structural adhesive for a wide range of applications including: metal coatings, electrical components, LED, high tension electrical insulators, and fiber-reinforced plastic materials
UV
UV and Visible Light Cure Adhesives cure quickly when exposed to light of the appropriate wavelength and intensity. They are one component adhesives which are ideal for many applications in which glass or plastic which are able to convey UV or visible light is bonded to itself or metals and other substrates.
