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:

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
bonding heavy parts instantly, high gap fill- 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.
