This page is the product family for adhesives, sealants, surface treatment and tapes. Chemistry, strength, cure mechanism, substrate and pack size are applied as on-page filters within the family, not as separate categories. Manufacturer and standard are also selection filters used to narrow results, not category pages in their own right.

A filterable product table populates after product import. No products are listed yet; items will be filterable by type, strength, cure and size once imported. In the interim, submit requirements via Request a Quote.

RFQ information checklist

  • Product type required (adhesive, sealant, threadlocker or tape)
  • Manufacturer and part number if known (e.g. Loctite 243, Loctite 222, Dow 3145), for identification only
  • Strength and removability needed (low / medium / high; serviceable vs permanent)
  • Cure mechanism and any cure constraints (anaerobic, RTV/moisture, UV, two-part)
  • Substrate, joint or gap to be bonded/sealed and service temperature range
  • Pack size, format and quantity required
  • Application environment and any shelf-life or storage constraints

Frequently asked questions

What types of adhesives and sealants does this family cover?

It covers anaerobic threadlockers and retaining compounds, instant and structural adhesives, RTV and structural silicones, gasketing and thread-sealing compounds, surface primers and activators, and industrial bonding and masking tapes. Use the type, strength, cure and size filters to narrow your selection.

Can I request a specific part number such as Loctite 243 or Dow 3145?

Yes. You can enquire by manufacturer and part number, and references such as Loctite 243, Loctite 222 or Dow 3145 are used for identification and RFQ purposes only. They do not imply endorsement, authorisation or availability. We will work to the specification you provide.

How do I choose the right threadlocker strength?

Threadlockers are commonly grouped as low, medium and high strength, which affects whether a fastener can be serviced later. Share the fastener size, the assembly requirement and whether you need it removable, and we can help identify suitable options for your RFQ.

What information should I include when requesting a quote?

Include the product type, any known manufacturer and part number, the strength and cure required, the substrate or joint and service temperature, and the pack size and quantity. The more detail you provide, the more precisely we can scope the enquiry.

Why are no products shown on this page yet?

The filterable product table populates after product import. Until then, please submit your requirements through Request a Quote and we will source and supply against your specification.
