ADHESIVE SELECTION GUIDE

SELECT THE RIGHT ADHESIVE IN SECONDS

“Adhesive STRENGTH isn’t the problem. Adhesive SELECTION is.”
Most structural adhesives are strong. But not all are engineered for the same job. The difference between success and failure is choosing the right one.

Right Adhesive. Right Application. Better Structural Outcomes.

Most structural adhesives are strong.

The real challenge is choosing the right one.

TECHNIGLUE® is not just a product range — it is a selection system for structural bonding, engineered to remove guesswork and guide you to the correct adhesive based on:

Substrate
Application method
Service environment
Cure speed

One range. Six structural bonding solution.

Engineered Bonding Systems for Structural Performance

TECHNIGLUE® adhesives are engineered to integrate with ATL’s complete composite ecosystem — delivering predictable, high-strength bonding across real-world structural applications.

From composite laminates to metal interfaces, each system is designed to solve a specific bonding challenge, not just provide generic adhesion.

Used across marine, transport, industrial and architectural sectors, TECHNIGLUE systems deliver:

Structural bond strength across demanding assemblies
Toughened epoxy chemistry for fatigue and peel resistance
Multi-material compatibility across complex builds
Gap-filling and non-sag application performance
Durability under load, vibration and environmental exposure

Interfaces are engineered –
not adjusted on-site.

ADHESIVE GUIDE

R5 – High Peel Strength Structural Adhesive

Use when failure is not an option

Designed for critical structural joints
High peel strength and fatigue resistance
Resists micro-cracking under cyclic load
Composite-to-composite and composite-to-metal bonding

Best for: Structural durability under stress

R28 – Precision Cartridge Structural Adhesive

Controlled application. Consistent results.

Cartridge-based accurate mix ratio every time
Clean, repeatable application
Reduced waste and rework
Structural performance with process control

Best for: Precision bonding and production workflows

R85 — High Temperature Structural Adhesive

Engineered for heat

Maintains strength under elevated temperature (~120°C)
Stable under thermal load and cyclic stress
Structural performance in demanding environments
Requires Post Curing

Best for: Heat-exposed structural applications

R15 – METAL BONDING SPECIALIST

Built for aluminium and steel

Engineered to minimise peel failure at metal interface
Strong adhesion to aluminium and steel
Non-sag for vertical and overhead bonding
High chemical and environmental resistance

Best for: Metal-first bonding applications

R60 — Multi-Material Structural Workhorse

One adhesive. Multiple materials.

Bonds composites, metals, timber, concrete and stone
High-strength, waterproof structural bonding
Excellent gap filling and non-sag performance
Adjustable working times via hardener selection

Best for: Multi-substrate structural builds

R90 — Rapid Cure Structural Adhesive

When time is critical

~4-minute gel time
Minimal clamping required
Fast assembly and repair
Reliable bonding across multiple substrates

Best for: Fast repairs and reduced downtime

Why TECHNIGLUE®

Engineered as Part of a Complete System

TECHNIGLUE adhesives are developed alongside:

ATL KINETIX® resin systems
Composite laminates and reinforcements
Structural sandwich panels and CNC kits

This ensures system compatibility, not compromise.

Engineered Performance Where It Matters

High structural bond strength (shear, tensile, compressive)
Peel and fatigue resistance to prevent bond-line failure
Thixotropic control for vertical and overhead application
Room-temperature cure options for real-world workflows
Environmental durability across harsh service condition

Substrate Compatibility

TECHNIGLUE adhesives are engineered for:

Composite laminates (carbon, glass, aramid)
Aluminium and steel
Timber and engineered wood
Concrete, stone and masonry
Multi-material assemblies

This supports real-world structural builds where materials intersect — not ideal lab conditions.

Where TECHNIGLUE® Is Used

Marine construction and repair
Transport and automotive structures
Architectural composite systems
Industrial manufacturing and assembly
Defence and infrastructure

Structural Bonding Starts Before the Adhesive

Structural Bonding Considerations

Joint Design → Adequate bond area improves load distribution
Material Compatibility → Adhesive must match substrates
Surface Preparation → Clean, dry, mechanically prepared surfaces
Adhesive Selection → Working time, cure and environment matter

Performance is engineered — not assumed.

Engineered and Manufactured in Australia. Proven Globally.

ATL Composites develops and manufactures advanced epoxy systems and structural adhesives in Australia, supporting industries where:

Structural integrity is critical
Weight reduction matters
Long-term durability is required

TECHNIGLUE is part of a fully integrated material system — from resin chemistry to structural panels.
