Mr. Sticky's Underwater Glue

Product Information

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions regarding curing time. Keep in mind that underwater sealants may require longer curing periods compared to regular sealants due to the presence of water. X. Su, Y. Luo, Z. Tian, Z. Yuan, Y. Han, R. Dong, L. Xu, Y. Feng, X. Liu and J. Huang, Mater. Horiz., 2020, 7, 2651–2661 RSC . L. Xue, A. Kovalev, A. Eichler-Volf, M. Steinhart and S. N. Gorb, Nat. Commun., 2015, 6, 6621 CrossRef . Adiseal not only seals underwater effectively but also cures underwater, resists mould growth, and maintains strong adhesion to surfaces. Our commitment to delivering top-notch underwater sealing led us to conduct rigorous tests, including an extensive evaluation of mould resistance. In this evaluation, various sealants were applied inside new plastic cups, filled halfway with tap water, and subjected to consistent conditions. Adiseal outshone all the tested sealants, boasting the highest level of mould resistance, as vividly demonstrated in the image provided. Strongest mould resistant sealant test results when in water.
