Welcome to Cattie Adhesives’ Adhesive Selection Guide!

We understand that selecting the right adhesive for your application can be a daunting task, and that’s why we’ve created this guide to help simplify the process.

At Cattie Adhesives, we offer a wide range of adhesive solutions for a variety of industries, including automotive, construction, packaging, and more. Our team of experts has extensive knowledge of adhesives and their applications, and we’re committed to helping you find the perfect solution for your needs.


To begin, let’s start with the basics. There are two main categories of adhesives: reactive and non-reactive. Reactive adhesives require a chemical reaction to cure and achieve their bonding strength, while non-reactive adhesives rely on evaporation or cooling to cure.

Next, consider the materials you will be bonding. Adhesives can bond a variety of substrates, including metals, plastics, rubber, ceramics, and more. Different adhesives work better on different materials, so it’s important to choose an adhesive that is compatible with your substrate.

Another factor to consider is the environmental conditions that your adhesive will be subjected to. Adhesives can be sensitive to temperature, humidity, and other environmental factors, so it’s important to choose an adhesive that can withstand the conditions it will be exposed to.

Finally, consider the performance requirements of your application. Will your adhesive be subjected to high stress or impact? Will it need to withstand exposure to chemicals or UV light? Understanding the performance requirements of your application will help you choose an adhesive with the appropriate strength and durability.

At Cattie Adhesives, we offer a variety of adhesive solutions to meet your specific needs. Our products include hot melt adhesives, water-based adhesives, solvent-based adhesives, and more. Our team of experts is available to help you select the perfect adhesive for your application, and we offer custom adhesive formulations to meet your unique requirements.

Thank you for choosing Cattie Adhesives for your adhesive needs. We look forward to helping you find the perfect solution for your application. Contact us today to get started!
