Screen Adhesives


Sefar offers two different types of screen 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.

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.

Two-part adhesives consist of an adhesive base and a catalyst added to enhance the curing process and chemical resistance. Although excellent adhesives for securing the mesh to the frame, two-part adhesives can also be used as a frame primer and as a screen block-out (a permanent block-out). For use with most plastic, wood and metal surfaces.

The high shear strength and low peel strength of two-part adhesives make for durable bonds, and easy mesh removal when new screen fabric is necessary (leaving an excellent second-surface for subsequent bonds). Typically, two-part adhesives will take longer to cure than cyanoacrylates (see each product description for an estimate of cure time).

Selecting the right two-part adhesive

Two-part adhesives consist of an adhesive and a hardener catalyst that are mixed together in a specific ratio prior to mesh application. Once cured, two-part adhesives are typically considered more flexible in nature, and also have excellent solvent resistance. Most two-part adhesives work with the majority of mesh specifications - see table below.
