While a number of industrial adhesives are available in the market (such as methylacrylate, polyurethane, etc.), epoxy adhesives are among the most commonly used for industrial purposes. Epoxy adhesive is a commonly used term for two-part, resin based adhesives that have very high tensile strength, adapt well to harsh environments and generally cure at room temperature. 
Industrial Epoxy adhesives have widespread use across industries such as automotive, aerospace, architecture, optical, manufacturing, marine engineering, construction, paints and coatings. Automotive epoxy adhesives, are particularly popular in areas such as automotive windshield repair, due to high optical clarity, quick setting time and robustness in tough environments.
Industrial epoxy adhesives are also very easy to use. Being a two component system, they work very well when combining entire surfaces to each other.PARBOND is one of the leading brands of industrial epoxy adhesives, with a wide range of epoxy adhesive products under the PARBOND range. The PARBOND range of epoxy adhesives is known to be highly effective in harsh conditions that face a lot of strain, such as optical, automotive, aerospace and other heavy duty industrial applications. In fact it is one of the most widely used brands of automotive epoxy adhesives available.
However, being a two component epoxy adhesive, PARBOND is effective across a wide variety of surfaces and materials – including wood, plastic, metals, rubber, etc., making it a popular choice of automotive epoxy adhesive. Here are some of the popular series in the PARBOND range:
- 150 / 5105: All-purpose epoxy adhesive with fast curing timeand adhesion to a wide variety of surfaces. Is used as automotive epoxy adhesive.
- 300 / 329: High performance industrial epoxy adhesive with high curing time and adhesion to multiple surfaces
- 5120: Industrial epoxy adhesive
- 5125 / 5884: Used for potting and encapsulating due to good electrical properties
- 5140 / 5141: Extremely high strength epoxy adhesives
