A super glue liquid has a low viscosity, meaning the liquid flows easily. This type of formula is great for filling horizontal surface cracks and fractures where the adhesive can flow into the cracks. We have three types available: Super Glue Liquid and Super Glue Gel.

Yes, Bostik Super Glue remains effective in cold conditions and is designed to provide a strong, durable bond at low temperatures. Many Bostik Super Glue products continue to perform reliably in temperatures as low as -20°C.

For the best results, ensure the surfaces are clean and dry before application and follow the instructions on the product packaging.

Before applying glue, ensure that all surfaces are of sound nature and clean, dry and free from dust, grease or any other contamination.

Bostik Fabric Glue forms a permanent bond by adhering to the fibres of the fabric.

We recommend allowing for around 24 hours for Bostik Fabric Glue to completely cure, though it may be dry to the touch in less time.

Yes, Bostik Fabric Glue is designed to create a durable bond that can withstand washing once the adhesive has fully cured. This makes it suitable for clothing repairs, fabric alterations and a variety of textile craft projects.

For the best results, allow Bostik Fabric Glue to dry completely before washing the item. Following the product instructions can help maximise bond strength and durability.

Bostik super glues are non-flammable products that do not easily ignite or burn during normal use. To maintain product performance and safe handling, always follow the instructions provided on the packaging and store the adhesive in a suitable location.

Yes, all Bostik super glues are heat resistant up to +80°C.

Safety warning: Persistent heat may affect the strength and longevity of the bond and therefore should be avoided.

All Bostik super glues are not waterproof and therefore we cannot recommend that they are safe for use in or around water.

Fix & Glue Gel and Fix & Glue Liquid are water-resistant meaning water has minimal effect on them, although we do not recommend using them in water-related projects.

Viscosity is the measure of a fluid's resistance to flow. The higher the viscosity of a liquid, the thicker it is and the greater the resistance to flow. 

Glue can be various measures of viscosity, with each measure having it's own benefits based on the application required. Low viscosity glue will spread easily, whereas high viscosity glue is ideal for vertical surfaces or areas that need a concentrated application.

Bostik’s Super Glue Liquid is made of ethyl cyanoacrylate. Cyanoacrylate is an acrylic resin that cures almost instantly. The fast-setting, ultra strong and colourless properties of our super glue formulas make them perfect for day-to-day household uses in repair or DIY projects.

Multipurpose glue and Super Glue are designed for different bonding needs. multipurpose glue is typically used for a variety of everyday materials and can offer more flexibility across different project types.

Bostik Super Glue is formulated for fast-setting, high-strength bonding and is often used when an instant, durable bond is required. Choosing between the two depends on the materials being bonded and the type of repair or DIY project being completed.

The shelf life of adhesives varies from product to product, but typically ranges between one and two years from the date of manufacture when unopened and stored correctly in dry conditions - usually between +5°C and +25°C. Once opened, the life of the product will be more limited – this is dictated by variables including the type of adhesive, how it is stored, and how much adhesive is left unused. For more information, refer to the product’s Technical Data Sheet.

Absolutely. Bostik Fabric Glue provides a strong, flexible bond that prevents fraying.
