Description
Toughened Acrylic Adhesive S1500 is a two-component, pink and green, structural methacrylate adhesive, designed for the bonding of high strength metal and composite applications. It is suitable for bonding: Aluminium, Stainless Steel, carbon fibre, GRP wood and glass. It is particularly suitable for model railway kits especially for the attachment of fine detailing, and between metal and plastic.
Balanced adhesive
S1500 has been formulated from innovative technology, including a revolutionary adhesion system. This unique system enables the S1500 to achieve the ultimate balance of mechanical strength and impact resistance whilst still remaining both simple and quick to use.
Typical Applications
Toughened Acrylic Adhesive S1500 is very versatile and can bond a wide variety of substrates without the need for surface primers or conditioners. It is suitable for bonding:
- Aluminium & stainless steel lettering in the sign manufacturing industry
- Metal fasteners to aluminium and moulded composite parts
- Carbon fibre body panels
- GRP in the marine industry
- Dissimilar metals for trailer fabrication
- Carbon fibre
- Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) wood
- Glass
- Suitable for use as a model railway kit
- Acrylic to metal adhesive
- Acrylic to glass adhesive
- Similar applications
Best applied
Toughened Acrylic Adhesive S1500 is best applied by the 50ml twin cartridge applicator gun and 50ml mixer nozzle bought separately.
