About ADINOX C1000 - High Viscosity Gap Filling Cyanoacrylate
ADINOX® C1000 is a gap filling cyanoacrylate adhesive based on ethyl cyanoacrylate technology. Engineered for gap filling applications, its high viscosity (850-1,100 cP) provides drip-free application control on vertical and overhead surfaces without the need for jigs or fixtures.
With low fogging characteristics, shear-thinning rheology, and extended repositioning time, C1000 is the preferred gap filling instant adhesive for bonding porous substrates, phenolics, and industrial materials where conventional low-viscosity cyanoacrylate adhesives would wick away

How to Use ADINOX C1000?
Surface Preparation
- Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free of dust, oil, and contaminants
- Degrease with ADINOX® DS 400 cleaner (or acetone)
- Surfaces must be closely mated - C1000 fills gaps but tighter fits yield stronger bonds
Activate if Needed
- For inactive surfaces or low humidity (<40% RH), apply ADINOX® 712 activator to one surface
- Allow activator to dry before applying adhesive
- For most metals, rubbers, and plastics at normal humidity, activator is not required
Apply Adhesive
- Apply a small amount of C1000 to one surface only
- Do not apply to both surfaces - excess adhesive slows cure
- High viscosity allows precise placement without running
Assemble Parts
- Press parts together firmly and hold for fixture time
- Fixture time on steel: <20 seconds at 68°F, 65% RH
- Repositioning is possible during the extended open time
- Avoid disturbing bond after fixture is achieved
Full Cure
- Full bond strength develops within 24 hours
- Avoid loading the bond during the first 24 hours
- Higher humidity accelerates cure; lower humidity slows it
- Clean uncured adhesive with ADINOX® DS 400 (or acetone)

Frequently Asked Questions
What gaps can the ADINOX C1000 gap filling cyanoacrylate fill?
As a gap filling cyanoacrylate, ADINOX C1000 has a viscosity of 850-1,100 cP, which allows it to fill small to moderate gaps between poorly mated surfaces without running off. This gap filling cyanoacrylate bridges tolerances that thin cyanoacrylates cannot fill, while maintaining fast fixture times (<20 seconds on steel). For larger gaps, consider ADINOX C1500 (1,250-1,600 cP) or ADINOX C54 gel (9,500-12,500 cP).
Will C1000 drip on vertical surfaces?
No. The high viscosity of this gap filling cyanoacrylate (850-1,100 cP) prevents dripping and running on vertical and overhead surfaces. The adhesive stays exactly where applied, providing controlled dispensing without the need for dams or containment. This makes the gap filling cyanoacrylate ideal for field repairs and assemblies where gravity would cause thin adhesives to migrate.
Can C1000 bond porous materials?
Yes. ADINOX C1000 is specifically formulated for bonding porous substrates including phenolic composites (>725 PSI lap shear), wood (pine fixture <15 seconds), neoprene, and porous plastics. Its high viscosity prevents wicking into the substrate, ensuring the adhesive remains at the bond line where it is needed.
What is the difference between C1000 and C54?
ADINOX C1000 is a high-viscosity liquid (850-1,100 cP) that fills small to moderate gaps while maintaining fast fixture times. ADINOX C54 is a gel formula (9,500-12,500 cP) designed for the largest gaps and applications where maximum drip resistance is needed. Choose C1000 for general gap filling with faster assembly; choose C54 when gap size is the primary challenge.
What is the difference between C1000 and C1500?
Both are high-viscosity gap filling cyanoacrylates. ADINOX C1000 has a viscosity of 850-1,100 cP and is the standard choice for most gap filling applications. ADINOX C1500 has a higher viscosity of 1,250-1,600 cP, offering even greater resistance to flow and larger gap filling capability. Both share the same chemistry and strength characteristics.
Is C1000 suitable for electronics?
Yes. ADINOX C1000 has a dielectric dissipation factor of <0.02 and low fogging characteristics, making it suitable for electronic assemblies where electrical insulation and clean aesthetics are important. It meets MIL-PRF-46050 Type II Class 2 requirements.
Can a gap filling cyanoacrylate supplement mechanical fasteners in small assemblies?
ADINOX® C1000 can provide auxiliary fixation in small, non-structural parts where the bonding area exceeds 6 cm², loads are static or low-cycle, and the joint is not exposed to prolonged impact or vibration. With >2,030 PSI lap shear on steel, it handles light-to-medium static loads on small bonding areas. For dynamic loads, high-impact or structural applications, the ADINOX® Serie M methacrylate adhesives are the correct choice.
What should I look for in a high viscosity cyanoacrylate adhesive for industrial use?
A reliable high viscosity cyanoacrylate adhesive for industrial applications should have: viscosity above 800 cP for true no-drip behavior, tensile strength over 1,700 PSI on steel, fixture time under 30 seconds, and low fogging to prevent whitening on nearby surfaces. ADINOX® C1000 meets all these criteria: 850-1,100 cP, over 1,740 PSI tensile, <20 seconds fixture on steel, and low fogging. MIL-PRF-46050 qualification confirms its performance in demanding environments.
Does C1000 require an activator?
For most substrates at normal humidity (40-70% RH), no activator is needed. ADINOX C1000 cures via surface moisture. However, for inactive surfaces (such as certain plastics or dry metals) or low humidity environments, ADINOX® 712 activator is recommended to ensure fast, consistent cure. For low surface energy plastics (PE, PP), use ADINOX® 770 primer.
