Rapidstick™ 8-509 Structural Adhesive

Rapidstick™ 8-509 Structural Adhesive is a two-component, 100% reactive toughened adhesive with excellent impact, peel, and shear resistance in a convenient 10:1 mix ratio. Its non-sagging and thixotropic formulation is specially formulated for bonding a wide variety of metals such as galvanised metals, stainless steel, and aluminium, to itself and to plastics, including thermoplastics, thermosets, and composite assemblies.

8-509 uses next-gen nano technology for exceptional results in demanding industrial applications, with ultra-fast strength development in gaps up to 10mm, and resistance to powder coating temperatures of up to 204oC. It requires no surface preparation or priming before application, and is commonly used for bonding automotive components, marine assemblies, thermoform enclosures, electrical components, metal fabrications, and signs.
