Description
If you need a clear industrial adhesive that delivers a strong flexible bond across multiple materials, Bostik 1782 is one of the most trusted solutions available.
Unlike many general-purpose glues, Bostik 1782 adhesive dries virtually colourless, making it ideal for visible bonds where appearance matters as much as strength, such as leather goods, upholstery, trims and decorative assemblies.
This solvent-based nitrile adhesive is widely used in manufacturing, repair and workshop environments for bonding leather, PVC, rubber, metal, wood, canvas and more.
For more demanding applications, Bostik 1782 can be upgraded into a two-part system using Bostikure D curing agent, significantly increasing heat, oil, fuel and chemical resistance.
