Features & Benefits
  • Easy to use – easy squeeze tube
  • Flexible – does not become brittle in cold weather
  • Chemical Resistant – safe for applications exposed to dilute acids and dilute caustics
  • Abrasion Resistant – great for bonding objects subject to normal wear
  • Washer/Dryer safe – maintains bond even after washing and drying
  • Paintable – paint to match surrounding area or to make UV resistant

Applications & Uses

Where To Use / Applications

Use on all your craft projects requiring a permanent bond. Available colors are: clear, black and white.

Directions And Application Notes

Read directions and test small area before use.

  • Surface should be clean, dry and free of dirt. For best results, lightly roughen surface before use.
  • Puncture seal in neck of tube using pointer cap (if tube has a foil seal). Ideal application temperature range is 50 to 90 °F (10 to 32 °C). However, fully cured adhesive can withstand temperatures from -40 to 180 °F (-40 to 82 °C) intermittently.
  • Apply directly to surfaces to be bonded or repaired.
  • Allow 24 hours for curing. Depending on materials and temperature, maximum strength may not be reached for 48 to 72 hours.
  • For future easy cap removal, apply a thin coat of petroleum jelly to the threads of the tube before replacing the cap.
  • Clean uncured adhesive with acetone or citrus-based solvents. Cured material may be removed by cutting or scraping.

Note: May damage finished surfaces. Avoid such contact until completely dry. Not recommended for use on polystyrene, polyethylene, polypropylene, Styrofoam™ on paper products. Not recommended for any items that come into contact with food, drinking water or animals.

Chemicals That Have Little Or No Effect On E6100

E6000 exhibits excellent resistance to water, dilute acids and dilute bases. Thin films of E6000 were immersed in various chemicals for two weeks and exhibited weight gains of less than 2% and tensile strength loss of less than 10%. These chemicals are listed on the left. All percentages are given by weight unless otherwise noted.

  • Acetic acid (5% and 10%)
  • Ammonium hydroxide (3.4%)
  • Ammonium nitrate (50%)
  • Antifreeze
  • Beer (3.2% alcohol by volume)
  • Boric acid (3.1%)
  • Distilled water
  • Hydraulic oil
  • Lactic acid (3.8%)
  • Milk (fresh, tested at 40 °F)
  • Motor oil (30w)
  • Nitric acid (10% and 20%)
  • Oxalic acid (3.1%)
  • Phosphoric acid (30% and 60% as P2O5)
  • Potassium hydroxide (3.4%)
  • Sodium carbonates (2.7%)
  • Sodium chloride (10%)
  • Sulfuric acid (3% and 10%)
  • Wine (20% alcohol by volume)
Solvents That Dissolve E6100
  • Chevron solvent 1100
  • Chlorothane NU
  • Cyclohexane
  • Gasoline
  • Perchloroethylene
  • Propyl acetate
  • Toluene

These are common solvents that dissolve E6000 when hardened samples were immersed. The dissolution with these solvents was not instantaneous and therefore does not preclude usage in all cases. Applications where an occasional splash or brief exposure is expected may be acceptable. Test a small area before full use.
