Kwik-Gard is specially packaged 
Sylgard 184 silicone for quicker 
and easier application, eliminating 
the messy procedure of preparing 
the mixture before application. Its 
special cartridge controls the precise 
mixing ratio to ensure proper curing. 
The disposable tip mixes resin and 
hardener as they are dispensed. Since no air is 
introduced during mixing, the resin does not need 
degassing for most applications. The mixed silicone 
is applied directly to the site, reducing preparation 
time and material waste. 
Each Kwik-Gard cartridge contains 37 mL of 
resin and hardener. The dispensing tip has a dead 
volume of 0.75 mL.

Probably still the best epoxy for bonding plastic, 
often used as the benchmark for testing the 
binding strength of other adhesives. The slightly 
rubbery texture also makes it less easy to break 
off. It is the only epoxy known that can bond PEEK.
