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.

WHAT IS A STRUCTURAL EPOXY 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.
WHEN TO USE TECHNIGLUE R60
• Your project involves multiple materials
• You need one adhesive across the entire build
• Bond surfaces are uneven or require gap filling
• You need reliable structural strength in varied conditions
• You want to standardise on a single adhesive system
BUILT FOR REAL-WORLD BUILDS
TECHNIGLUE® R60 is designed to integrate into real-world workflows where multiple materials are used across a single structure.
Using one structural adhesive across the build reduces:
• Material complexity
• Application variability
• Risk of adhesive mismatch
This enables more efficient assembly and consistent structural performance.

TECHNIGLUE R5 FAQs
Can TECHNIGLUE® R60 bond timber to concrete?
TECHNIGLUE® R60 is a versatile structural epoxy adhesive suitable for bonding a wide range of substrates. Whether it is appropriate for bonding timber to concrete depends on joint design, substrate condition, and service environment, but it is commonly considered for multi-substrate structural applications.
Is TECHNIGLUE® R60 waterproof?
TECHNIGLUE® R60 is designed for durable structural bonding and is suitable for applications where moisture resistance is required. For continuous immersion, outdoor exposure, or specific marine conditions, the full system design and application details should be reviewed against the product data sheet.
What makes TECHNIGLUE® R60 a versatile structural adhesive?
TECHNIGLUE® R60 is designed for multi-substrate bonding, gap filling, and non-sag application, making it a practical choice across composite, timber, concrete, and general industrial bonding tasks.
Can TECHNIGLUE® R60 be used outdoors or in marine environments?
TECHNIGLUE® R60 is commonly considered for demanding environments where durable structural bonding is needed. Suitability for a given outdoor or marine application depends on exposure conditions, joint design, and correct substrate preparation.
