Self-Setting RUBBER

Formerol is a unique self-setting silicone, which is already used in 153 countries around the world. Retailed to consumers as sugru®, it is tough, durable, waterproof, adhesive, resistant to extreme temperatures, and now available for commercial and industrial use.

Derived from patented technology, Formerol® is unique in its combination of hand-formability, self-adhesion, flexibility when cured and its ability to insulate against electricity. Once opened it feels and works like modelling clay; it then air-cures into a hard silicone rubber, which forms a natural bond with aluminium, steel, ceramics, glass, wood, perspex, silicone and butyl rubber.

Formerol® is resistant from -50°C to +180°C without changing consistency or melting. It is also 100% waterproof and entirely resistant to sea water.
