Description

Veck Fasteners adhesive RA300 is a two part A&B component system, which is fast setting when mixed via a static mix nozzle at room temperatures. Because it is a high viscosity non-sag material, the mixed material is ideal for all types of gap filling requirements on steel, aluminium, polycarbonates and general plastics.

It is very good on vertical surface bonds because, being a methacrylate, it exhibits excellent structural strength even without priming the surfaces. Because of its macro structure the bonds formed show excellent durability high peel strength even in big gaps and excellent solvent and environmental resistance, resisting fuels, lubricants cleaning chemicals and fluids.

The recommended shelf life of our adhesives is 1 year and our stock is not supplied with anything less than 1 month left on it’s shelf life. Should you require longer than this then please contact us.
