Which Epoxies are the Strongest?
Epoxies are artificial resins that are tough, resistant to chemicals and the environment, and have a variety of uses such as bonding or even as a protective coating. Epoxies also come in different packages or forms, they can be a single part or two-part.
We stock an enormous variety of epoxies in myriad colors, textures, and strengths for many different purposes. With so many choices, it can be tough to know exactly which epoxy is right for your project. Lucky for you, we’re in the business of helping you!
Today, we want to help you choose between the strongest epoxies that we offer in our Chem-Set line. Our goal is to create the strongest adhesion with the least amount of product to save you time and money in your project. These two products are among the strongest in our Chem-Set line, and were chosen to be spotlighted in this blog due to their extremely different, yet undoubtedly strong, properties.
Chem-Set 633LV
One of our strongest rapid-setting epoxies is our Chem-Set 633LV. A general-purpose adhesive, 633LV is a low-viscosity epoxy designed specifically as a rodding adhesive that eliminates the need for hand mixing and reduces labor costs and waste. It is incredibly strong while still reaching handling strength in just minutes. Check out this clip of our Chem-Set 633LV supporting over 200 lbs. on a single stone plate!
Chem-Set 650UC
Our Chem-Set 650UC is an ultra-clear, ultra-strong epoxy with quick-setting technology and a medium viscosity. Its liquid nature makes this epoxy a tremendous choice for bonding natural stone, seaming, lamination, and stone repair. It is a UV-stable and optically clear formula that is ideal for both interior and exterior use.
While 650UC does boast a fast cure time, its claim to fame is its ample working and positioning time. Many quick-set epoxies must be placed and positioned immediately, with very little room for error. 650UC has a working time of approximately five minutes, giving you plenty of time to position the stone seams meticulously before the hour-long cure time sets in.
Chem-Set epoxies are designed to be durable and strong, lasting for years to come. Want to know more about what we offer? Our representatives are here to help! Give us a call, toll-free, at 1-800-220-1966 or send us an email at sales@chemical-concepts.com. We look forward to hearing from you!
