Sefar offers two different types of screen adhesives: Cyanoacrylates and Two-Part adhesives. Both Cyanoacrylates and Two-Part adhesives come in several different formulations, making it easy to find the right adhesive for your screen-making needs.
Cyanoacrylate adhesives, often known as “super glues”, are an adhesive system that consists of an acrylic resin which is rapidly cured by the presence of an accelerator or “activator” (although the adhesives will cure without the presence of an activator as well). With the help of an activator, cyanoacrylates set fast (in about five minutes), and the bond reaches full strength in two hours.
Selecting the right Cyanoacrylate
When selecting the correct cyanoacrylate adhesive for your application, it is important to match the mesh count and adhesive viscocity. Use the tables below as guides for cyanoacrylate selection.
Standard Cyanoacrylate Selection Table
Standard Grade Cyanoacrylate Adhesives
Sefar offers a range of private label cyanoacrylate adhesives for your shop with our SEFAR Mesh Adhesive line (SMA). The availability of low, medium and high viscosity adhesives insures a good match between adhesive and mesh specification. Use with Sefar’s standard activator product, SEFAR Activator.
SEFAR SMA 100
Low viscosity, standard grade cyanoacrylate adhesive designed for fine mesh counts between 230-460 threads per inch.
Standard grade aerosol activator, formulated for use with SEFAR Mesh Adhesives and Frame Fast adhesive products.
Premium Cyanoacrylate Selection Table
Premium Grade Cyanoacrylate Adhesives
Sefar carries Frame Fast cyanoacrylates for its premium grade screen making adhesives. Frame Fast adhesives are custom formulated to produce strong bonds of 3,000 psi in comparison to 1,200 psi yielded by standard market adhesives. They are highly affective with aluminum, steel or wood frames, and self-tensioning inserts.
Frame Fast cyanoacrylates are available in multiple viscosities in order to accommodate different mesh specifications and your individual screen-making needs.
Frame Fast 280
Premium, clear, low viscosity formulation for fine mesh counts between 230-460 threads per inch.
Flexible, black rubber-toughened formulation for the most demanding bonding applications when using fine mesh specifications between 230 to 460 threads per inch, high tensions, and minimal profile frames.
Premium grade aerosol activator, also free of ozone depleting chemicals and has a reduced odor. Can be used with all Frame Fast cyanoacrylate adhesives.
