R60 — Structural Epoxy Adhesive

TECHNIGLUE® R60 is a high-strength, solvent-free structural epoxy adhesive designed for bonding a wide range of substrates including timber, fibreglass, concrete, metals, stone and engineered materials.

Formulated to cure at room temperature with TECHNIGLUE H60 hardeners, R60 produces durable waterproof structural bonds with excellent mechanical strength. The thixotropic gel formulation provides excellent gap-filling capability and sag resistance, allowing precise application on vertical surfaces and uneven substrates.

With strong adhesion across multiple materials and high load-bearing performance, TECHNIGLUE R60 is widely used across marine, civil construction, industrial fabrication and composite manufacturing applications where reliable structural bonding is required.

Its structural epoxy chemistry ensures long-term durability under load, vibration and environmental exposure, making R60 an ideal adhesive for multi-material assemblies and demanding bonding applications.

Structural Epoxy Adhesive Performance

TECHNIGLUE® R60 is engineered for demanding bonding applications where structural strength, durability and substrate versatility are critical.

The formulation provides excellent adhesion to porous and non-porous materials including timber, composites, metals and concrete, allowing reliable bonding across mixed-material assemblies.

The thixotropic gel consistency ensures the adhesive remains in place during application, maintaining consistent bondline thickness while filling gaps between irregular surfaces.

This makes TECHNIGLUE R60 particularly effective for construction, marine and composite fabrication applications, where reliable bonding across large structural components is required.

ADJUSTABLE WORKING TIME
Fast and Slow hardeners allow working time to suit job size and conditions.
STRUCTURAL PERFORMANCE
Excellent tensile, compressive and shear strength for demanding applications.

Typical Applications

TECHNIGLUE® R60 structural epoxy adhesive is widely used in applications requiring strong bonding across multiple materials.

Typical applications include:

Structural timber bonding
Composite component assembly
Marine construction and repair
Civil construction and infrastructure projects
Concrete and masonry bonding
Industrial equipment fabrication
Multi-material structural assemblies

WHAT IS A STRUCTURAL EPOXY PASTE ADHESIVE?

Structural epoxy adhesives are high-performance two-part systems designed to bond components that experience mechanical load, vibration and environmental exposure.

Unlike laminating resins, structural adhesives are formulated with thixotropic fillers that allow the adhesive to maintain thickness within the bondline while filling gaps between irregular surfaces.

This enables reliable bonding in applications such as:

• Timber and laminated beams
• Composite structures
• Metal frameworks
• Concrete and masonry assemblies
• Hybrid composite-metal structures

Once cured, structural epoxy adhesives form high-strength thermoset bonds with excellent durability and chemical resistance.

What materials can TECHNIGLUE R60 bond?

TECHNIGLUE R60 bonds effectively to timber, concrete, metals, fibreglass, stone and composite materials, making it suitable for structural bonding applications where multiple substrates must be joined reliably.

HOW TECHNIGLUE® R60 COMPARES TO TOUGHENED ADHESIVES

Toughened epoxy adhesives such as TECHNIGLUE R15 are typically designed for high peel strength and metal bonding, particularly aluminium and steel assemblies.

TECHNIGLUE R60, by comparison, is designed for multi-substrate structural bonding, providing excellent adhesion to timber, concrete, composites and metals in construction and industrial applications.

Its gap-filling thixotropic formulation and structural strength make it ideal for bonding larger assemblies and structural elements where durability and load capacity are critical.

For applications requiring toughened metal-to-metal bonding with enhanced peel resistance, see TECHNIGLUE R15 Toughened Adhesive.

frequently asked questions

How does ATL tailor composite systems for different industries?

Every industry has distinct performance, compliance, and manufacturing requirements. ATL’s in-house chemists and engineers develop and refine epoxy systems, adhesives, and core materials to meet the specific demands of marine, defence, aerospace, automotive, industrial, civil, architectural, and sporting applications — ensuring every product delivers optimal strength, efficiency, and durability.

Can ATL customise materials for my project or process?

Yes. ATL offers custom formulation and process engineering support to align material performance with your production requirements — whether infusion, hand lay-up, lamination, bonding, or CNC-routed panel construction. Our technical team collaborates closely with customers to deliver precision-matched resin systems and structural solutions for unique applications.

Are ATL’s composite systems certified for high-performance applications?

Absolutely. ATL operates under an ISO 9001:2015-certified quality management system, with selected materials approved by DNV for use in structural and high-load applications. Every ATL system is manufactured to exacting standards of performance, consistency, and traceability to meet the demands of defence, industrial, and advanced engineering environments.

What makes ATL’s materials suitable for large-scale or structural builds?

ATL’s epoxy systems, structural panels, and composite cores are engineered for high strength-to-weight performance, dimensional stability, and fatigue resistance. These attributes make ATL materials ideal for large composite assemblies, modular structures, and precision-engineered components where long-term strength, weight reduction, and reliability are essential.

Does ATL offer sustainable or bio-based composite options?

Yes. ATL is committed to advancing sustainable composite technology, offering USDA-Certified Bio-Based epoxy systems and environmentally conscious materials that reduce waste, extend service life, and minimise environmental impact. Our ongoing R&D focuses on improving sustainability without compromising structural integrity or mechanical performance.

How can I select the right ATL system for my application?
