News: WEST SYSTEM G/flex 655 25ml twin syringe, perfect for small quantity applications

WEST SYSTEM G/flex 655 25ml twin syringe, perfect for small quantity applications

WEST SYSTEM® G/flex® 655 is a toughened epoxy that makes permanent, waterproof, structural bonds. It absorbs the stresses of expansion, contractions, shock and vibration on joins, and it now comes in an easy-to-use ready filled twin syringe for working with small quantities.

Ease of Use:

The handy twin syringe dispenses G/flex 655 resin and hardener at the same time, in alignment with each other, ready for equal mixing. This means users get a lovely gel consistency, not dissimilar to toothpaste, so it won’t run or sag. Small repairs can be completed easily, measuring minute quantities of super-strong, waterproof epoxy.

Versatility of G/flex 655:

You can use G/flex 655 for any adhesive needs. It’s perfect for boat repairs, such as fixing wood and aluminium windows or installing skin fittings. It’s also great for home use, like attaching door handles or repairing ornaments, among many other tasks.

G/flex 655 belongs to the broader G/flex family. Traditional boat builders prefer this adhesive range for its ideal bonding properties, especially when attaching dissimilar or new wood to old timbers.

Benefits of Using G/flex 655

Those who have previously invested in epoxy will immediately understand the joy of being able to work with job specific quantities, saving excess epoxy waste and enjoying the benefits of economy. Those who are new to epoxy will enjoy the precision with which G/flex 655 can be mixed and used – leading to strong, waterproof end results.

This innovative approach is in response to WEST SYSTEM user requests. It means that G/flex 655 – well renowned for its ability to adhere tenaciously to plastics such as HDPE, LDPE, ABS, PVC, Polycarbonate and Hypalon – will be perfectly mixed and there will be no wastage when making small repairs to metal, glass, masonry, fibreglass, and / or wood.

“This simple innovation has proved a game changer for so many of our customers,” says Ian Oliver, MD Wessex Resins and Adhesives (the company which makes WEST SYSTEM products in the UK under licence from Gougeon Brothers Inc.).

“Who wouldn’t want their repairs made easier? Being able to use tiny quantities means waste is cut down, and also time. It’s simple to squeeze out the quantities of resin and hardener instead of having to measure independently. It’s the same great formula, so our customers know they’re getting over 50 years of development knowledge about adhesion under tough conditions. We’re finding many customers are buying their usual 250ml size, and a few additional syringes for those finer applications.”
