Smooth-On "Military
Grade" Epoxy Adhesives
Smooth-on has been manufacturing adhesives
since 1895. They continue to be the choice of all branches of the
U.S. Military, every major airline and auto manufacturer in the world,
and many other major industrial manufacturing and repair operations.
Our most popular are:
Metalset A4™
is a powerful epoxy adhesive that has become
the standard for all branches of the U.S. Military as well as with
every major airline and auto manufacturer in the world. It has been
used for diverse purposes from repairing bullet holes in helicopters
on the battlefields of Viet Nam to patching leaks in car gas tanks.
A4 is used for hundreds of industrial bonding applications and offers
excellent adhesion to porous and non-porous surfaces. It can be applied
to vertical surfaces without sagging and cures overnight with negligible
shrinkage. Once cured, A4 offers good machining qualities (sanding,
drilling, tapping) and resists alkalies, dilute acids and solvents.
Applications include stopping leaks in pipes, valves and tanks and
repairing other metal surfaces. A4 can bond dissimilar surfaces, anchor
bolts in wood and concrete, and be used as a filler to repair joints
and dents.
Metalset A4 Applications
Make jigs and fixtures.
Stop leaks in pipes, tanks, fittings and valves.
Aerodynamic smoothing compound.
Alter or repair foundry patterns.
Repair flaws in metal castings.
Repair corroded hull and deck areas.
Set abrasion-resistant tile in conveyors and pulverizing equipment.
Fillet sheet metal joints, fill dents and cover countersunk rivet
holes.
Use as an auto or truck body solder.
Anchor bolts in wood, concrete or plaster.
Use as shim material between uneven surfaces.

 MT-13™
is our premium epoxy adhesive for applications calling for extreme
holding power and water resistance. The toughness of this adhesive
was demonstrated recently to engineers at the Brookhaven National
Laboratory during construction of an ion collider. MT-13 successfully
withstood temperatures as low as four degrees Kelvin, just degrees
above Absolute Zero (-459° F / -237.6° C), and was the singular material
suitable for the job. NASA has also used MT-13 for a variety of applications.
MT-13 bonds porous and non-porous surfaces and provides optimum adhesion
in a wide-range of industrial applications, developing handling strength
in 16 hours.
MT-13 Applications
Bond screen to frame for screen printing.
Secure and insulate antenna mast to mounting fixture.
Fabricate silverware.
Fasten traffic markers or outdoor
signs
Bond metal to fiberglass.
Assemble ceramic and glass decorative ware.

EA-40™
clear epoxy adhesive can be readily spread into thin films that are
almost transparent after curing. It has become a standard material
for most bowmakers who use EA-40 to laminate their bows. Many other
industrial applications are possible as well, particularly where an
inconspicuous glue line is desired. EA-40 cures sufficiently in 24
hours to provide good mechanical and electrical properties. In addition
to use in bonding and encapsulating electrical components, EA-40 is
used in the assembly of glass, ceramics and hard plastics, and can
also be used as a non-shrinking wood glue with excellent gap-filling
capabilities.
 EA-40
Applications
Jewelry for manufacturing and stone setting.
Inconspicuous glue line for assembly of ceramics, glass, hard plastics
and rigid foam parts.
Bonding and insulating electrical components.
The industry standard for bow makers.

 Super
Instant Epoxy is the
choice when a rapid bonding of two surfaces is required. This clear
epoxy cures quickly enough to permit handling in 5 – 10 minutes
at room temperature. Super Instant adheres to virtually any surface
and is used in a variety of applications where a quick bond is desired.
Companies such as Hughes Aircraft have found Super Instant helpful
as a "temporary tack" material to hold parts together while
stronger structural epoxies (Metalset A4) set up. It can be used on
metal, wood, glass, masonry and plastic surfaces.
Super Instant Applications
Fasten metal fixtures or signs to masonry.
Assemble or repair jewelry or plaques.
Automotive repairs and maintenance.
Non conductive bonding of electrical or electronic parts.
Tacking for large-scale bonding with higher-strength, slower-setting
epoxy adhesives.

 PC-3™
epoxy cement is the industry standard for the installation
of laboratory tops. PC-3 is a two-part black adhesive that is
heavily filled and designed to join, bond and caulk sections of lab
tops and counters.
