Adhesives, Sealants and Tape
Adhesives, tapes, and sealants are used to bond, repair, and protect a wide range of materials. Duct and cloth tape are commonly used for sealing ducts, securing cable, and making repairs. Filament and strapping tape are reinforced with fibers that help prevent the tape from snapping when pulled tight. Film and masking tapes are often used to protect surfaces and splice paper. Foam tape provides an insulating barrier between surfaces that helps dampen vibration and noise. Industrial adhesives, epoxies, and glues can provide additional reinforcement for building materials such as subflooring. They can also be used to join materials in applications where fasteners cannot be used, such as wood joinery or weather stripping.

Adhesive Dispensing Equipment
Adhesive Dispensing Equipment
Adhesive dispensing equipment mixes, measures, and dispenses adhesives and sealants for consistent application. Adhesive dispensing systems can be refilled with compatible cartridges or bulk material, depending on design. Caulk guns dispense caulks and sealants from single tubes, while epoxy applicators dispense two-part epoxy resins simultaneously from multiple tubes. Dispensing needles and syringes measure and dispense precise amounts of adhesives and sealants directly into gaps and cracks for smaller repairs. Accessories such as covers and caps prevent adhesives from drying out in storage, while adapters can help refill compatible dispensers when empty.
Adhesives and Glues
Adhesives and Glues
Adhesives and glues are liquid substances that hold materials together and prevent separation after drying. They often form a permanent bond. Industrial adhesives and glues help to provide additional reinforcement for building materials, such as threaded rods anchored in concrete, or subfloor nailed to floor joists. Commercial adhesives also join materials in applications where metal fasteners are not suitable, such as wood joinery or weather-stripping installation.

Caulks, Sealants and Fillers
Caulks, Sealants and Fillers
Caulks and sealants are compounds that fill gaps, cracks, and holes to keep out pests, drafts, and water. They are used to fill small gaps, seams, and joints, such as those found around bathroom fixtures, or finished window and door molding. They also improve energy efficiency and provide a finished look by sealing holes where cold air could escape. Patching and repairing compounds fix imperfections and fill small cracks in surfaces such as drywall, plaster, concrete, masonry, and wood. Spray foam sealants expand to fill wide gaps, such as those found around door frames and pipe.
Concrete and Asphalt
Concrete and Asphalt
Concrete and asphalt are strong, durable building materials comprised of binders and aggregates, such as rock, sand, or gravel. Concrete and asphalt are initially mixed in a pliable, semi-viscous state prior to application. After setting, they harden into a durable solid state, making them ideal for new construction, such as sidewalks, driveways, and roads, or in maintenance and repair applications such as patching and tuckpointing. Concrete is a mixture of Portland cement and aggregate that hardens into a strong and durable building material commonly used to set posts and pour foundations. Mortar is used to build and repair brick or block walls or to fill gaps and cracks in concrete and masonry walls. It has lower strength, retains more water, and has a higher air content than concrete.

Epoxy Putty
Epoxy Putty
Putties are compounds that repair surface damage and prevent leaks by filling cracks, holes, or crevices. They are available in different formulas for a range of permanent repairs and emergency repairs, from sealing gaps in underwater applications to stopping leaks in gas tanks, pipes, ruptured radiators, and pools. Putties are also available for repairing wood and auto body surfaces. Two-part epoxy putties begin to set after mixing and are capable of reaching a full cure within minutes.

Adhesive and Industrial Tape
Adhesive and Industrial Tape
Industrial tape has adhesive on one or both sides of flexible cloth, metallic, rubber, or plastic backing for securing items. Duct and cloth tape have a water-resistant adhesive on a strong, abrasion-resistant cloth backing and are used for sealing ducts, securing cable, and making repairs. Filament and strapping tape are reinforced with fibers that prevent snapping and tearing in packing and bundling applications. Film tape is used to protect surfaces and splice paper and other items. Foam tape provides an insulating barrier between surfaces. Foil tape is reflective, UV resistant, and thermally conductive, with a metal backing and a strong adhesive for conforming to curves and uneven surfaces. Transfer tape is double-sided, with pressure-sensitive adhesive and a removable paper backing that allows users to join two materials.
Threadlockers and Gasket Sealants
Threadlockers and Gasket Sealants
Threadlockers and gasket sealants are liquid and tape-based sealants that are applied to parts before joining in order to fill gaps and create tight seals. Gasket sealants are applied to seal gasket flanges on windows and doors, or other plastic, metal, and fabric parts to prevent gas and fluid leaks. Pipe sealant tape wraps around threads to create a watertight and airtight seal with eased threading and removal. Pipe sealant liquid is applied to tapered threads to seal gaps and prevent leakage. Retaining compounds securely join two unthreaded parts without machining them or using mechanical fasteners. Threadlockers, sometimes called thread sealants, secure threaded joints to prevent loosening and seepage of gases or liquids. Valve sealants lubricate valves while providing a tight seal that prevents corrosion in gas and oil, refinery, and petrochemical applications.
