When performing critical repairs or accelerating design prototyping, the need for a versatile adhesive that can reliably join a disparate range of materials is paramount. Whether you are dealing with a fractured metal housing, a cracked stone countertop, or a broken plastic component, you need a bond that is not only instantaneous but also provides structural strength against future stress and vibration. Conventional glues are too weak, and epoxies are too slow.
Don’t compromise on speed or strength when bonding essential project materials.
INCURE GapFill™ D15 Gap Filling Metal Bonder for High Strength Applications
While optimized for metals, the INCURE GapFill™ D15 is a high-viscosity, gap-filling cyanoacrylate designed to deliver exceptional bond strength across challenging substrates, including porous materials like stone and inert plastics. Its formulation offers a unique balance of rapid cure speed and robust, long-lasting structural integrity, making it the ideal choice for demanding repair and assembly work.
| Feature & Benefit | Technical Insight for Mixed Material Bonding | Conversion Value |
| Exceptional Metal Bond Strength | Specifically formulated to achieve high shear and tensile strength on critical metal-to-metal and metal-to-other-substrate joints. | Structural Confidence: Trust your repair or prototype won’t fail under load. |
| High Viscosity & Gap-Filling | Its gel-like consistency prevents dripping and fills small gaps (up to 0.25 mm), ideal for repairs on rough stone or ill-fitting parts. | No Sag, No Run: Easily handle overhead or vertical repairs without mess or material waste. |
| Versatile Material Adhesion | Bonds aggressively to metals (steel, aluminum), porous stone/ceramics, rigid plastics, and composites. | One Fix-All Solution: Simplify your workshop inventory with a single, powerful adhesive. |
| Rapid Fixturing Time | Provides handling strength in seconds, dramatically speeding up repair and prototype assembly cycles. | Instant Productivity: Get components locked in and ready for the next step without long waiting periods. |
Application Steps: Achieving a High-Strength, Multi-Material Bond
Preparation (Critical for Strength): Surfaces must be perfectly clean and dry. Use a degreasing solvent (like acetone) on metals or plastics. Lightly abrade smooth or inert plastic surfaces (e.g., HDPE, PTFE) and metals to improve mechanical keying.
Application: Apply a bead of the high-viscosity GapFill™ D15 to one surface. Apply only enough to fill the gap upon compression. Use an accelerator/primer on porous stone or inert plastics to ensure immediate polymerization.
Assembly: Immediately press the parts together, holding them firmly until handling strength is achieved (usually 10-30 seconds). The gap-filling nature allows for slight tolerance mismatch.
Curing Time (Wait for Max Strength): Allow a minimum of 24 hours for the adhesive to reach its maximum chemical resistance and physical bond strength before subjecting the repair to operational loads.
Stop relying on weak glues and maximize your component integrity.
