Industrial adhesives
Cyanoacrylate instant adhesives, two-component epoxy, MS polymer and hybrid elastic adhesives, silicone, polyurethane, acrylic and contact adhesives, and double sided mounting tapes.
In maintenance and manufacturing the right adhesive can replace a weld, a bolt or a new part; the wrong one lets go at the first load. We assess the materials to be bonded, how the joint will work and the environment together with you and recommend the suitable product. We ship adhesives from stock across Türkiye and abroad, and also sell them through hidroticaret.com, our online store (Turkish).
Types
Cyanoacrylate instant adhesives
One-component adhesives that bond in seconds; for rubber, plastic and metal in rigid joints with small gaps. Types for close fitting or porous surfaces depending on viscosity.
Epoxy adhesives
Two-component adhesives that cure after mixing; for metal, ceramic, glass and rigid plastic in load bearing and gap filling joints.
MS polymer and hybrid adhesives
Elastic adhesives and sealants free of silicone and isocyanate; for joints subject to vibration and expansion and exposed to UV and weather.
Silicone adhesives
Permanently elastic bonding and sealing; high temperature, oil resistant, food and drinking water approved types.
Polyurethane adhesives
Strong adhesion and permanent elasticity; for fiberglass, plastic, wood and metal joints, as an assembly adhesive.
Acrylic adhesives
Fast, high strength bonding of metal and plastic parts; tolerant of surface preparation.
Contact adhesives
Adhesives applied to both surfaces and joined after a short open time; rubber, plastic and wood, vertical and porous surfaces.
Double sided mounting tapes
Tapes with acrylate based adhesive; mounting without drilling or waiting, transparent and gray types.
How to select
An adhesive is selected according to the material to be bonded and how the joint will work. Cyanoacrylate suits a rigid, fast joint with a small gap; two-component epoxy suits a load bearing, gap filling joint; elastic adhesives (silicone, MS polymer) suit joints exposed to vibration, expansion or water and weather. The table below compares the types.
Most bonding failures come from the surface, not the product: even the best adhesive does not hold on an oily, dusty or rusty surface. Before application the surface is degreased with a surface cleaner and roughened if necessary. The joint is not loaded before the product reaches full strength.
For food and drinking water contact, approved products are used; at high temperature, products with a suitable temperature rating. Just tell us the materials, the temperature and where it will be applied.
Comparison of adhesive types
| Type | Joint | Gap filling | Typical use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cyanoacrylate | Rigid, very fast | Very low | Small parts, rubber and plastic joints |
| Epoxy (2-component) | Rigid, load bearing | Good | Metal and ceramic joints, filling |
| MS polymer / hybrid | Elastic | Good | Joints under vibration and outdoors, sealing |
| Silicone | Elastic | Good | High temperature, sealing, food areas (approved type) |
| Polyurethane | Elastic, strong | Good | Assembly, fiberglass and wood joints |
| Acrylic | Rigid, high strength | Medium | Metal and plastic parts |
| Contact | Flexible | Low | Large area rubber, plastic and wood lamination |
This is general guidance; final selection is made from the material, temperature and strength values in the product's technical data sheet.
Frequently asked questions
Which adhesive bonds rubber to metal?
For a small, rigid joint, a cyanoacrylate suitable for rubber and metal; if flexibility is needed, MS polymer or contact adhesive.
Why did the adhesive not hold?
Most often because of oil, dust or rust on the surface. The surface should be degreased with a surface cleaner and roughened if necessary, and the full cure time should be allowed.
Which adhesive is used in food areas?
Products marked as approved for food and drinking water contact. We state which product holds which approval.
Which adhesive is used at high temperature?
High temperature grade silicone and special high temperature types; just tell us the temperature.
How long does epoxy take to cure?
It depends on the product: fast types set in minutes, standard types in hours; full strength usually takes about a day.
What information do I need to provide?
The materials to be bonded, the load and flexibility of the joint, the working temperature and whether there is food or water contact.
