Special Adhesives

Not all materials can be glued with white glues or contact adhesives. Take for instance rubber, leather, metal or glass. Apart from standard adhesives, OSTERMANN supplies assembly and super glues as well as adhesive primers. These products are a valuable addition to the range and no workshop should miss them.
Assembly glue
Assembly glues can be used for a variety of purposes. They are available as ready-to-use cartridges. Due to a choice of colours, they are suitable for sealing joints as well. The adhesive can be painted over, stays elastic and has a high initial strength. Single products show a greater temperature resistance.
Assembly glues can be used for bonding of nearly all materials, such as stone, plastic, glass and metal. They can also function as waterproof sealing materials.
The right product:
Super glue
If there is no time or for small parts that should be firmly bonded, the super glue with a matching activator is the right choice..
The activator makes the super glue less dependant on existing humidity, which is why the super glue can be used to bond porous materials. Plastics, rubber, wood, paper, leather, metal and many more materials can be bonded.
The right product:
Primer
Primers generally serve as bonding agents between the adhesive and the workpiece. The primer should be chosen according to material that is to be bonded.
Furthermore, it is vital to apply the primer as a thin, even layer. An application of more primer does not necessarily lead to an improved bond strength, but might worsen the adhesion and the heat resistance.
