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.

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.

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 two types available: Super Glue Liquid & Super Glue Gel.

Yes, Bostik Super Glue can be used in cold temperatures without significantly affecting its bonding performance. Bostik Super Glue products are formulated to provide a strong, long-lasting bond and can remain effective in temperatures as low as -20°C.

For optimal adhesion, make sure surfaces are clean, dry and properly prepared before applying the adhesive.

Wipe the affected area with an acetone dampened cloth or nail polish remover containing acetone.

Yes, Bostik Super Glue products are classified as flammable. Keep them away from heat, sparks, open flames and other ignition sources during use and storage.

Always follow the product instructions and safety precautions when using Bostik Super Glue to help ensure safe handling and storage.

Yes, Bostik Super Glue Liquid and Bostik Super Glue Gel are heat resistant and have a working temperature range of-55°C to +80°C. This makes them suitable for a wide range of repair and bonding applications where temperature variations may occur.

Bostik Super Glue Liquid and Bostik Super Glue Gel are water and heat resistant. However, they are not described as waterproof in the available product information.

For applications that may be exposed to moisture, check that the adhesive is suitable for the intended use and follow the product instructions for best results.

Bostik’s Super Glue Liquid and Super Glue Gel are 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.

The main difference between a multipurpose glue and a super glue is the drying time. A super glue bonds within seconds (almost instantly) and an all purpose adhesive bonds within minutes (typically within five minutes). Multipurpose glue is ideal for use on a wide range of substrates, including paper, whereas super glue is more suited for use on solid surfaces only.

No, Bostik Super Glue is not usually the best option for repairing leather. Leather is a flexible material, so repairs often require an adhesive that can move with the surface without becoming brittle.

For leather and imitation leather repairs, Bostik Leather Glue is generally a better choice because it is designed to provide a strong, flexible and durable bond that can withstand everyday movement and wear. Meer regels weergeven

If you're unsure which adhesive to use, try the Bostik Glue Guide.

The Bostik Glue Guide helps you identify the most suitable adhesive based on the materials you want to bond and the type of project you are working on. Whether you're repairing, crafting or completing a DIY project, it can help you choose the right product.

Before applying adhesive, ensure both surfaces are clean, dry and free from dust, grease, oil, rust and loose material.

Removing contaminants and old residues helps the adhesive bond more effectively and can improve the strength and durability of the finished bond.
