About Gorilla

Gorilla Glue Company was founded in 1994 in Cincinnati, Ohio, when the brand introduced its flagship polyurethane adhesive to the North American market. The company discovered this remarkably strong adhesive formula that had been used commercially in Indonesia and recognised its potential for professional and consumer applications. The original Gorilla Glue quickly earned a reputation as "the toughest glue on planet Earth," becoming famous for its exceptional bonding strength, versatility across materials, and unique moisture-activated curing process that creates 100% waterproof bonds.

Since its inception, Gorilla has expanded from a single groundbreaking product into a comprehensive portfolio of adhesives, tapes, sealants, and related solutions. The brand has become synonymous with strength, reliability, and innovation in the bonding market, now available in over 40 countries worldwide. Gorilla products are trusted across the construction, maintenance, and manufacturing industries, with the company continuing to invest heavily in research and development. Their commitment to solving real-world challenges faced by professional users has resulted in numerous innovations, from their ultra-tough reinforced tape technology to precision application systems for super glues.

Why Choose Gorilla Adhesives and Tapes?

Gorilla products have earned their position as industry favourites through consistent performance that professionals can rely on. The brand's adhesives are engineered to create bonds stronger than the materials being joined, providing confidence that repairs and installations will last. This exceptional strength translates directly to fewer call-backs, reduced re-work, and greater customer satisfaction for tradespeople working across construction, maintenance, and installation sectors.

Durability forms the cornerstone of the Gorilla philosophy. Their products are specifically formulated to withstand extreme conditions including temperature fluctuations, moisture exposure, UV degradation, and mechanical stress. Whether working on outdoor installations exposed to rain, snow, and temperature extremes, or indoor applications requiring long-term reliability, Gorilla adhesives and tapes maintain their bonding strength over time. The waterproof and all-weather formulations perform reliably in the demanding conditions that British tradespeople encounter daily on site.

Value for money represents another compelling reason to choose Gorilla. While these products may cost slightly more than basic alternatives, their superior performance means you use less product per application and achieve significantly better results. The time saved on re-work and the confidence of knowing a job is done properly makes Gorilla an economical choice for professionals. The brand's versatility also reduces inventory requirements, as many Gorilla products work effectively across a wide range of materials and applications, eliminating the need to stock multiple specialist adhesives.

Innovation continues to drive the brand forward, with products like the super glue brush and nozzle offering improved application control for precision work, and the waterproof patch and seal tape providing instant weatherproof repairs without waiting for curing time. Gorilla's reputation among professional tradespeople is built on products that simply work when needed most, delivering reliable performance in critical applications where failure is not an option.

Perfect for Your Job

Gorilla adhesives and tapes excel in demanding applications where ordinary products fail. Emergency repairs on site benefit from the 2 part fast-setting epoxy and heavy-duty grab adhesive formulations that create strong bonds quickly, minimising downtime and allowing work to continue. The waterproof and all-weather products prove invaluable for outdoor installations, gutter repairs, temporary weatherproofing, and sealing applications where moisture resistance is absolutely critical.

Woodworking projects benefit significantly from Gorilla's PVA wood glue, which provides the strong, reliable bond that joiners and carpenters depend on for furniture making, cabinet work, and general timber construction. General construction work is simplified with heavy-duty grab adhesive that eliminates the need for mechanical fixings in many applications, saving time and reducing material costs whilst maintaining exceptional holding power.

The tape range handles everything from emergency repairs with the ultra-tough cloth tape handy roll that fits easily in a tool belt, to professional packing and shipping requirements with the packing tape and dispenser. The waterproof patch and seal tape is particularly valuable for temporary weatherproofing and emergency repairs where immediate protection from the elements is required. Gorilla Tape and the All Weather Extreme variant excel at permanent outdoor repairs on guttering, downpipes, tarpaulins, and equipment exposed to harsh conditions.

Maintenance and facilities management professionals find Gorilla products particularly valuable, where a single reliable adhesive can solve multiple problems across different materials. The super glue range, with both standard and gel formulations, offers precision bonding for smaller repairs on equipment, fixtures, and fittings, whilst the general purpose waterproof glue provides versatility for larger applications across wood, metal, stone, ceramic, and most plastics.

Gorilla adhesives are formulated to bond a wide variety of materials including wood, metal, stone, ceramic, brick, porcelain, glass, and most plastics. This versatility means you can use Gorilla products for diverse applications without needing multiple specialist adhesives, reducing inventory requirements and simplifying material selection on site. However, always check the specific product information for optimal surface compatibility and preparation requirements to achieve the strongest possible bond. Some materials may require light surface preparation or priming for best results.

Are Gorilla products waterproof?

Many Gorilla products offer waterproof or water-resistant properties, making them ideal for outdoor applications and areas exposed to moisture. Products like the general purpose Gorilla Glue, All Weather Extreme Tape, and Waterproof Patch and Seal Tape are specifically formulated to withstand wet conditions and extreme weather. The original Gorilla Glue actually requires moisture to activate and cure, creating a 100% waterproof bond suitable for both interior and exterior applications. This makes Gorilla products particularly valuable for outdoor installations, emergency repairs, and any application where exposure to rain, humidity, or direct water contact is expected.

How long do Gorilla adhesives take to cure?

Curing times vary depending on the specific product and application conditions. Gorilla Super Glue sets in seconds with full cure developing within 24 hours, providing rapid repairs when time is critical. The 2 part epoxy offers a fast-setting formulation ideal for quick structural repairs. Original Gorilla Glue requires clamping for 1-2 hours with full cure achieved in 24 hours, whilst the heavy-duty grab adhesive provides initial tack immediately with full strength developing over 24-48 hours. Always follow the specific product instructions for best results and optimal strength development, and note that temperature and humidity can affect curing times.
