Great Lakes Adhesives: Your Partner for High-Performance Structural Bonding

At Great Lakes Adhesives, we go beyond everyday bonding needs. We offer a robust selection of high-strength structural adhesives designed for demanding applications where exceptional strength and durability are paramount.

Our Arsenal of Structural Adhesives:

  • Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) Adhesives: MMA adhesives cure rapidly and deliver exceptional strength and resistance to harsh environments, making them ideal for metal bonding, composite materials, and demanding repairs.
  • Cyanoacrylate Adhesives (Super Glue): These adhesives offer unmatched speed and bond strength on a wide range of materials. Perfect for rapid repairs, small assemblies, and bonding dissimilar materials.
  • Epoxy Adhesives: The industry standard for permanent, high-strength bonds, epoxy adhesives excel in structural bonding, repairs, and applications requiring superior chemical and temperature resistance.
  • Urethane Adhesives: Providing excellent flexibility and adhesion to various substrates, urethane adhesives are ideal for bonding dissimilar materials, applications with vibration or stress, and demanding outdoor applications.
  • Acrylic Adhesives: These versatile adhesives offer a balance of strength, clarity, and flexibility. They are well-suited for structural bonding applications where aesthetics are important, such as bonding plastics or clear assemblies.

Beyond the Basics:

Our structural adhesive selection caters to specific needs within each category.  We offer variations in:

  • Cure Speed: From rapid-setting options to those allowing for repositioning, we have the cure speed to fit your project timeline.
  • Viscosity: Choose from flowable liquids for tight joints to thicker pastes for gap filling and uneven surfaces.
  • Flexibility: Select rigid formulas for maximum strength or flexible options for applications with movement or stress.

Finding the Right Structural Adhesive:

Selecting the optimal structural adhesive requires careful consideration. Our team of experts is here to guide you through the process. We’ll  analyze your project requirements, materials, and desired performance characteristics to recommend the perfect structural adhesive solution.
