E6000

E6000 is a popular, versatile, industrial-strength adhesive known for its flexibility and strength. It is a clear, waterproof, and solvent-based adhesive that cures at room temperature. E6000 is commonly used in crafting, jewelry making, shoe repair, and various household repairs. Its primary component is a solvent called dichloromethane, which helps to dissolve and bond surfaces together.

The adhesive is known for its excellent adhesion to a wide range of materials, including glass, ceramic, plastic, metal, wood, and rubber. It remains flexible after curing, making it ideal for applications where movement or vibration is expected. E6000 is also resistant to temperature changes and UV light, contributing to its durability.

Application of E6000 typically involves applying a thin, even layer to one or both surfaces, allowing it to become tacky, and then pressing the surfaces together. It is important to use E6000 in a well-ventilated area due to its solvent content, and to allow adequate curing time, which can range from 24 to 72 hours for full strength. While generally safe when used as directed, skin and eye contact should be avoided.
