Adhesives and sealants
Industrial sealants are used to seal a surface in order to prevent the passage of liquids or gases.
The use of adhesives as an alternative to mechanical fastening, welding, and other bonding methods can help gain a competitive advantage. The use of industrial adhesives reduces overall manufacturing costs, increases product reliability, performance, and lifespan.

Types of adhesives and sealants
Instant Adhesives
Instant adhesives are the ideal choice for any application where materials need to be quickly bonded without compromising strength, impact resistance, or flexibility. Instant adhesives serve a wide range of functions where room temperature curing of one or two components is required, within production lines or repair workshops. These adhesives are suitable for any industry, performing well whether applied manually or with metering equipment in automated lines. They are commonly used to bond high-performance materials in a matter of seconds.
Structural Adhesives
Structural adhesives are designed for engineering applications across a wide range of industries, providing reliable and durable bonds and seals when load-bearing and other structural conditions are required. Advantages of structural adhesives include:
- Elimination or significant reduction of costly mechanical fastening methods
- Uniform weight distribution on the substrate
- Fast processing speeds
- Ideal for lightweight or weight-reduction applications
- Ability to fill large gaps between parts
Threadlockers
Threadlockers are a type of adhesive for nuts, bolts, and screws that locks them in place and prevents them from loosening due to stress and vibration. They replace traditional washers and mechanical fasteners.
These are anaerobic-curing chemical products that form a strong film in the gaps between the threads of the fastener, securing it firmly in place. Threadlockers are available in different versions with varying curing times, maximum strength, and temperature ranges.
Among their many advantages are:
- Faster curing at room temperature
- Chemical compatibility with acids and solvents
- Vibration resistance
- Good consistency for uniform application.
Gasket sealants
Gasket makers are an alternative to traditional compression gaskets, preventing leaks of liquids or gases between flanges. They offer a more economical and faster solution, eliminating the waiting time for sourcing and receiving replacement parts. Gasket makers are general-purpose, multi-purpose sealants that do not corrode metal parts or attack plastics thanks to their oxide base. Their main benefits include high-temperature resistance without losing their properties, ease of use, room-temperature curing, and a good seal that resists aging.
Retaining Compounds
Retainers are a type of anaerobic adhesive that fills the space between components and cures to form a high-precision assembly. They are widely accepted as a standard method for interference and slip-fit assemblies.
Among their many benefits are:
- Increased strength with simplified and less expensive designs
- Reduced dependence on machining tolerances
- Prevention of corrosion and fretting wear
- Uniform distribution of load and stress across the joint
Tapes and Silicones
Industrial adhesive tapes are flexible plastic tapes with an adhesive solution on one side. This makes them essential in processes like packaging. Their main purpose is to bond, join, and secure materials. Industrial adhesive tape is a very versatile product. Among its advantages are: - Strength - High-quality, instant adhesive - Versatile for any sector - Suitable for different surfaces - Withstands humidity and temperature changes - Lightweight - Easy to apply and cut. Meanwhile, the main function of silicone is to act as a joint sealant. Thanks to its elasticity and flexibility, it can absorb the movements and pressures experienced by structural elements, as well as changes caused by temperature fluctuations, humidity, vibrations, etc. Silicones are widely used in industry due to their many benefits: - Non-flammable - Thermal and chemical resistance - Electrical insulators
