Industrial glue and sealants are specialized bonding agents designed for heavy-duty applications in manufacturing, construction, automotive, aerospace, and other industrial settings. These adhesives are formulated to provide superior strength, durability, and resistance to harsh conditions like heat, chemicals, and pressure.
Supex offers a complete line of high performance Industrial adhesive & sealants. They consist of epoxy, silicone, polyurethane formulations. These products are designed to provide solutions to problems caused by wear/abrasion, chemical attack, mechanical damage, fatigue and erosion/corrosion. Common uses include repairing pipes, engine blocks, chutes, splines, fan housings, rubber, aluminum and stainless steel parts.

Applications of Industrial glue
Industrial glue and sealants are used for various applications, some of the areas are listed below:
Construction:
- Bonding steel, concrete, and wood in structural projects.
- Sealing joints and cracks for waterproofing.
Automotive:
- Attaching body panels, glass, and interior components.
- Used in lightweight bonding for EVs and aerodynamics.
Aerospace:
- High-performance adhesives for composite materials in aircraft.
- Lightweight alternatives to traditional fasteners.
Electronics:
- Circuit board assembly, cable management, and device sealing.
Packaging:
- Carton sealing, labeling, and tamper-evident bonding.
Marine:
- Waterproof and corrosion-resistant adhesives for ships and offshore platforms.
Supex Anaerobic or Machinery adhesives
‘ Anaerobics’ also called machinery glues is preferred by engineers and scientists for holding metal parts together.
Nut, Bolts, fasteners loosenening 
Problem: loosening of fasteners, corrosion of threads- opening also difficult.
Solution: Anaerobic threadlocker 
- Fills the gap.
- It cures to SOLID, rigid , thermoplastic polymer.
- Assembly becomes ‘ONE’ !
- Even during vibrations – complete assembly vibrates as one.
- Therefore ‘No relative motion’ in between Nuts & bolts.
Leakage from Hydraulic, pneumatic threaded joints
- Not 100% metal to metal contact
- Damage in the thread
- Weak tightening torque
- Thermal cycle
- Not sufficient sealant
- Vibration, Impact
- Excessive internal pressure
Benefits of Supex thread sealing.
- It gives 100% sealing – Cures to tough thermoset plastic.
- Instant Sealing – 3000 psi.
- Allows adjustability – Positioning is possible
How to seal flanges
Solution: Use anaerobic liquid gasket sealant for machined flanges, Silicone sealant for sheet metal, casted flanges.
Benefits: 100% leak free assembly, increase in structural strength, inventory of solid gaskets not required- one tube can make all types of gaskets.
Assembly of cylindrical parts
Anaerobic Retainers – Benefits
- Ease of Assembly
- Insite Application
- 100% Contact
- Eliminates Fretting
- Proven Assembly Method
Silicone Sealants
RTV silicone sealants is very popular amongst Industrial glue and sealants. It find uses in alomost all fields, some as enumerated as below:
- Seal flanges, gasketing
- For the sealing between metal parts.
- It is an essential product to use during the creation of gaskets that need to be heat resistant.
- Finds large use in heating systems and kitchen machinery where heat resistant sealing is a very crucial affair.
- Gaskets in pumps and motors also require the use of a heat sealing sealant.
MS industrial glue
- High initial grab & final strength.
- Does not require clamping, nailing or taping.
- Does not stain surfaces or form bubbles during cure.
- Does not corrode metals
- Stays permanently elastic.
- UV & weather resistant.
- No shrinkage
- Can be painted upon after 24 hours.
- Can bond to damp surfaces, seal wet areas and fix underwater leaks.
Uses of MS Industrial glue
- Seam and joint sealing in vehicle body
- Railway carriage and container manufacture;
- Ship and boat building; metal construction;
- Electrical, plastics, air conditioning and ventilation industries;
- Conventional vehicle window glazing between rubber profile and glass (good adhesion to most rubber qualities, even on EPDM-basis),
- Bonding of floor coverings in bus
- Elastic bonding of panels or profiles to frames.
- Mounting wall cladding elements such as ply, ACP, Plywood-laminate composite, alabaster on aluminum channel & wooden frames or walls.
- Mounting stone slabs for kitchen countertops or dining tables.
- Sandwiching wooden frames with stones under kitchen platforms for cabinet frame mounting purposes.
- Fixing mirror/Painted Glass on tiles, plywood, Fiber cement, Bison Board and WPC board.
