CAE1500 High Viscosity (Thick) Cyanoacrylate Superglue
Sylmasta CAE1500 High Viscosity Superglue is a thick cyanoacrylate adhesive. It is used to fill gaps and in applications where additional bonding time is required. The longer cure of CAE1500 Superglue gives a small window to adjust parts before bonding takes place, offering greater control over the process in more complex applications.
It is used in repair and restoration, assembly, kit building and model making applications. CAE1500 Superglue is capable of filling gaps due to being 1250-1850 cps thick. The cyanoacrylate formulation of CAE1500 Superglue enables it to bond difficult substrates in lower humidity situations.
The extended cure time of CAE1500 Superglue makes it a popular adhesive for DIY. On PVC plastic, CAE1500 cures in 5–10 seconds. On steel, it cures in 25–40 seconds. Cure time on nitrile rubber, neoprene and EPDM is around 7 seconds.
On porous surfaces like wood, fabric and paper, CAE1500 Superglue has a cure time of less than one second. This enables instant bonding. For specific cure times based on substrate, please see the Technical Data Sheet.
CAE1500 Superglue sets clear and has a softening point of approximately 130°C. It achieves a full cure in 24 hours and is available in 20g or 500g bottles.
Ultra-Fine Nozzles can be attached to the 20g bottle for greater control, applying drops of superglue as small as 0.5mm to create cleaner, neater glue lines. Please contact Sylmasta for more information on Ultra-Fine Nozzles.

Case Studies
CAE1500 High Viscosity Cyanoacrylate Superglue Details
Sylmasta CAE1500 Superglue is effective on surfaces including plastic, wood, rubber, porcelain, fine china, ceramics and jewellery. Parts requiring repair are held together whilst the superglue bonds, based on the cure time for the substrate.
The cure time of CAE1500 Superglue can be accelerated through the use of Superglue Activator. This is useful in applications requiring significant volumes of superglue, such as gap filling or bonding wide joints.
For a low viscosity cyanoacrylate superglue, please see CAE3 Penetrating Superglue. CAE3 is thin as water for penetrating porous surfaces and wicking into joints, cracks and other small areas which are not easily accessed.
Benefits of CAE1500 High Viscosity Superglue
Excellent for adhering absorbent surfaces quickly and easily
High viscosity allows additional bonding time prior to cure for maximum control over assembly
Applications
Bonding wood, fabric, paper and other porous materials
Sticking plastics, metal, porcelain, fine china, ceramics, jewellery and model making
Sylmasta CAE1500 Superglue saves Christmas for a family with the repair of a decoration passed down through generations which had been accidentally snapped in two
Low viscosity, surface insensitive cyanoacrylate superglue as thin as water which penetrates porous surfaces and flows easily into small, hard-to-access areas. Just one drop will wick into joints between parts, permanently bonding them together.
Cure Time: 3–40 seconds, dependent on substrate Viscosity: 2-6cps Colour When Set: Clear
Medium viscosity cyanoacrylate superglue for general use. It forms instant bonds when sticking plastics, metal, porcelain, fine china, ceramics, jewellery and other materials, with a cure time of 3 seconds or less on non-absorbent surfaces.
Cure Time: 2–40 seconds, dependent on substrate Viscosity: 120cps Colour When Set: Clear
Accelerates the cure time of any grade of Sylmasta Cyanoacrylate Superglue. It enables rapid adhesion between otherwise slower-to-bond substrates, and prevents porous surfaces absorbing lower viscosity superglues. Activator is available in 50ml bottles for application with a brush or 200ml aerosol for directly spraying onto parts requiring bonding.
