The world’s first
non-UV Construction
Adhesive for Glass
Nano 470 is the world’s first and only
non-UV construction adhesive for glass,
brought to you by the inventors of the
original non-UV bevel bonding adhesive
that revolutionised bevel application
in the decorative glass industry.
»»NANO 470 HIGH
Strength Construction Adhesive
offers the same predictability
and safety in use as everyday
decorative bevel bonding,
but for much heavier duty
applications, such as bonding
glass shelving, logos and designs
to glass screens, balustrades or
facades, or assembling glass
furniture.
The advantage in the factory
is that fluorescent white light is
safe for those working nearby;
the advantage in the application
is that the incredible strength of
the Nano 470 bond itself is safe
and permanent.
Nano 470 will bond all-glass
shower cubicles and glass boxes,
bond metal fittings to glass

table tops, help form a wall of
glass shelves, and even repair a
broken glass table! The range of
applications for Nano 470 is as
varied as the application of glass
itself.
