“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.

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.

TECHNIGLUE® — Engineered bonding systems designed to perform.
TECHNIGLUE Selection Tool

TECHNIGLUE® | Structural Bonding Selection System

Designed To Hold. Engineered To Last.

Six engineered epoxy chemistries. Each formulated for a specific failure mode, substrate and service environment. Choose in under a minute — or talk directly to an ATL chemist.

Structural bonding failure is not an option

Three questions. One verified chemistry.

Start with the failure mode, confirm the main substrate, then check the service environment. If two products land within 2 points, the tool will surface both and recommend consultation instead of forcing a false-precision answer.

Selection logic active

1Failure mode

Lead with the failure mode, not just the chemistry.

Quick guide to the TECHNIGLUE® logic

The range is intentionally role-defined: R90 for speed, R85 for heat, R60 for multi-material versatility, R28 for controlled cartridge use, R15 for metal-first bonding, and R5 for fatigue and peel-critical structure.

2Main substrate

Choose the dominant substrate pair or repair context for the bond.

3Service environment

Match the chemistry to the actual service condition, not just workshop convenience.
