WEICON Contact GEL is pasty (highly thixotropic 60000 - 90000 mPa•s) and cures very slowly. By using WEICON Activator Spray, the curing time can be reduced. The adhesive is suitable for porous surfaces and higher tolerance gaps and can be used on vertical surfaces. Repositioning is also possible after the parts have been joined. It is suitable for the bonding of various materials. WEICON Contact Gel can be used both in the hobby sector and in model building. It can also be used in many different industrial applications.
LOCTITE® 454 is a gel viscosity instant adhesive designed for large bond gaps and vertical applications. It provides for the rapid bonding of a wide range of materials including metals, elastomers and plastics, including difficult-to-bond plastics (PP, PE, PTFE) with the aid of a primer such as LOCTITE SF 770. LOCTITE 454 is also suited for bonding porous materials such as wood, paper, leather and fabric. It is also ideal for all quick repair jobs.
