About ADINOX C1500 - High Viscosity Cyanoacrylate for Wood and Porous Substrates
ADINOX® C1500 is a high viscosity cyanoacrylate engineered specifically as a cyanoacrylate for wood, phenolics, and assemblies requiring gap filling. As a porous substrate cyanoacrylate, its 1,250-1,600 cP viscosity delivers no drip control on vertical and overhead surfaces, along with extended working time for precise part positioning before bond formation - significantly longer than standard high-viscosity grades like C1000. A true high viscosity instant adhesive that stays where you apply it.
Meeting MIL-PRF-46050 Type II Class 2, C1500 achieves fixture on carbon steel in under 20 seconds at 68°F / 65% RH. It bonds metals, phenolics, neoprene, PVC, ABS, and polycarbonate with tensile strength exceeding 1,740 PSI and shear strength exceeding 2,030 PSI on steel.
As a dedicated cyanoacrylate for wood and porous assemblies, C1500 is a no drip cyanoacrylate that resists wicking into the substrate. Woodworkers and fabricators choose this cyanoacrylate for wood because the high-viscosity body holds at the joint instead of soaking in. When you need a cyanoacrylate for wood that fills loose-fitting joints without running, C1500 keeps the bond line full on MDF, particle board, and phenolics. As a no drip cyanoacrylate for wood, it holds on vertical and overhead joints for clean field repairs.

How to Use ADINOX C1500?
Surface Preparation
- Surfaces must be clean, dry, and free of oil, grease, and contaminants
- Degrease with ADINOX® DS 400 (or acetone)
- For porous substrates (wood, phenolics), remove loose particles with a brush
- For difficult plastics, use ADINOX® 770 primer to improve adhesion
Application
- Apply a thin bead of C1500 to one surface only
- High viscosity allows precise placement on vertical surfaces without dripping
- For gap filling, apply enough adhesive to fill the joint completely
- Extended positioning time allows part alignment before bond forms
Assembly
- Press parts together firmly ensuring full surface contact
- Hold in position until fixture is achieved - typically <20 seconds on steel
- For faster cure, use ADINOX® 712 accelerator on the mating surface before assembly
Curing
- Allow 24 hours for full cure before applying mechanical load
- Higher humidity and temperature accelerate cure
- Wipe excess adhesive immediately with acetone or ADINOX® DS 400 before cure
- Store sealed bottle upright in a cool, dry place (refrigeration recommended)

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes C1500 different from standard cyanoacrylates?
ADINOX C1500 is a high viscosity cyanoacrylate with 1,250-1,600 cP, compared to 1-100 cP for standard grades. This gives it no-drip control on vertical surfaces, gap-filling capability for porous substrates, and extended positioning time before bond formation - making it significantly different from general-purpose instant adhesives.
Is C1500 a good cyanoacrylate for wood and porous materials?
Yes. C1500 is specifically designed as a cyanoacrylate for wood, MDF, particle board, phenolics, and neoprene. Its high viscosity prevents wicking into the substrate, keeping the adhesive at the bond line where it is needed. Lap shear on phenolics exceeds 725 PSI.
Is C1500 truly a no-drip cyanoacrylate on vertical surfaces?
Correct. ADINOX C1500 is a thixotropic, no-drip cyanoacrylate formula. At 1,250-1,600 cP, it stays where applied on vertical and overhead surfaces without running or sagging, making it ideal for field repairs and vertical assemblies.
What is the temperature range for C1500?
ADINOX C1500 operates from -58°F to 199°F continuously. The softening point is 329°F, allowing brief exposure to higher temperatures.
How do I accelerate the cure of C1500?
Apply ADINOX® 712 accelerator to the mating surface before assembly. This is especially useful on inactive surfaces or when bonding large gap areas. Higher ambient humidity also accelerates the moisture-initiated cure.
Is C1500 suitable for gap filling?
Yes. The very high viscosity of C1500 (1,250-1,600 cP) makes it the ideal choice for filling gaps in loose-fitting assemblies. Unlike low-viscosity cyanoacrylates that wick away from the bond line, C1500 stays in place and bridges gaps effectively on both porous and non-porous substrates.
What military specification does C1500 meet?
ADINOX C1500 meets MIL-PRF-46050 Type II Class 2, the U.S. military standard for cyanoacrylate adhesives. Type II covers high viscosity grades; Class 2 indicates operating temperature from -58°F to 199°F.
Why choose C1500 as a positioning cyanoacrylate adhesive for complex assemblies?
C1500 offers an extended open time compared to standard cyanoacrylates, making it the preferred positioning cyanoacrylate adhesive when parts need to be aligned precisely before fixture. Its thixotropic gel consistency prevents migration, and its 1,250-1,600 cP viscosity holds the adhesive in place while you position. Fixture on steel still occurs in under 20 seconds once parts are in contact.
Is there a high-performance alternative to gel-type instant adhesives that meets a MIL spec?
Yes. ADINOX C1500 is a MIL-PRF-46050 Type II Class 2 no-drip cyanoacrylate that combines the controlled application of a gel with tensile strength exceeding 1,740 PSI on steel. It bonds wood, phenolics, neoprene, ABS, PVC, and polycarbonate with fixture times under 30 seconds - matching or exceeding the performance of competing gel-type instant adhesives while offering dedicated technical support and distributor availability in Mexico and Latin America.
