all about sugru
sugru's magical properties mean it can hack almost anything betterVery science-y indeed
Extremely clever scientists have been working on sugru for over 5 years to give it as many great physical properties as possible, so it can be as versatile and useful as possible for you.
Makes your stuff perfect (for you)
Why are so many products just so bad? Uncomfortable tin openers, leaky trainers, they get our goat! Why should you have to spend £20 on a designer tin opener? You shouldn't! Hack the one you have instead. Power to the (handy) people!
Makes your stuff last (really long)
sugru can help you dramatically prolong the life of your stuff. By applying in some cases even a teeny tiny bit to your things, you get to keep them for much longer and decrease your impact on our wee world. Repair with gusto!
How sugru helps your stuff (kick ass)
sugru's properties:
Cures at room temperature
sugru is like modeling clay when you take it from its pack. Once it's exposed to air, it cures to a tough flexible silicone overnight using the moisture in the air. Working time = 30 mins. Cure time = 24hrs (3-5mm deep)
Self-adhesive
sugru is designed to stick to as many other materials as possible. It forms a strong bond to aluminium, steel, ceramics, glass and other materials including plastics like perspex. Read more on our instructions page
Loves a bit of heat (or cold)
sugru is resistant from -60°C to + 180°C. It gets hot and cold but it won't get softer or harder or melt.
Waterproof
sugru is silicone, so it's completely waterproof and durable outdoors. It's easy to clean with soap and water, oh and It's fine with sea water too!
Flexible
When sugru cures, it's flexible rather than rigid. Which means that you can repair things that need to be able to move like textiles, cables, or shoes.
Dishwasher-proof
Once it's cured, sugru is pretty much like other silicones - durable in the harsh soapy conditions of your washing machine and dishwasher.
