What the Abro Epoxy Clear 60-Second Insta-Mix Is Built For
The Abro Epoxy Clear 60-Second Insta-Mix is the workhorse ultra-fast-cure clear epoxy. Use it for:
Jewellery, giftware, and decorative repair:
- Repairing broken jewellery — necklaces, bracelets, earrings, brooches (re-bonding broken chains, re-attaching stones, repairing settings).
- Repairing decorative glassware, crystal, and cut-glass items.
- Repairing ceramic figurines, porcelain dolls, and collectible giftware.
- Re-bonding broken china handles, spouts, and decorative trim.
- Securing gemstone inlay and decorative trim on jewellery and giftware.
Glass and crystal bonding:
- Bonding glass to glass (small decorative assemblies, glass-on-glass construction).
- Bonding glass to metal (glass mounting brackets, decorative metal-and-glass assemblies).
- Repairing cracked or chipped glassware (clear bond line is virtually invisible).
- Sealing glass joints in aquariums (small repairs only — full aquarium construction requires aquarium-safe silicone).
- Bonding glass tile and mosaic (small repairs — for full glass tile installation, use a tile adhesive).
Ceramic and porcelain repair:
- Repairing cracked or chipped porcelain and china (cups, plates, vases, decorative ware).
- Repairing cracked ceramic tiles (small repairs — for full tile replacement, use a tile adhesive and grout).
- Repairing cracked ceramic figurines, ornaments, and pottery.
- Repairing cracked or chipped bathroom fixtures (small repairs — for load-bearing repairs, replace the fixture).
Electronics and small electrical:
- Potting small electronic components and assemblies (insulating, non-conductive).
- Bonding and sealing small electrical connections.
- Repairing cracked or broken plastic housings on small electronics.
- Securing ferrite cores, magnets, and small components to assemblies.
General clear-bonding applications:
- Bonding rigid plastics where a clear bond line is required (acrylic, polycarbonate, rigid PVC — confirm on TDS for specific plastics).
- Repairing picture frames and decorative trim (clear bond line on wood, MDF, and painted surfaces).
- Sealing small cracks and porosity in clear plastics and acrylic sheets.
- Bonding and sealing small model-making and craft assemblies.
NOT recommended for:
- Flexible or elastomeric substrates (rubber, soft plastics, leather — epoxy is rigid and will crack on flexing substrates; use a flexible adhesive or polyurethane instead).
- Structural load-bearing joints in critical applications (welded or mechanically fastened joints are preferred for structural load-bearing applications — epoxy is for repair, bonding, and filling, not for primary structural joints).
- Wet or continuously submerged service (epoxy is water-resistant once cured but is not rated for continuous underwater immersion unless specifically formulated for it; for submerged service, use an underwater-rated epoxy or polyurethane).
- High-temperature continuous service above 80°C (the clear, unfilled formulation has lower temperature resistance than the steel-filled grade — for high-temperature service, use Abro Epoxy Steel or a high-temperature-rated epoxy).
- Food-contact applications (use a specific NSF H1 food-grade epoxy — call to discuss).
- Polyethylene, polypropylene, or PTFE substrates (epoxy does not adhere to these without specific surface treatment or priming — call to discuss).
- Large-area structural bonding (the 60-second working time does not allow for positioning on large surface areas — for large-area work, step up to a longer-cure variant).
Genuine Abro Epoxy vs Counterfeit: What to Check
Counterfeit and expired epoxy adhesives are common in the Kenyan automotive, hardware, and giftware supply market. A syringe of fake or expired clear epoxy will yellow in the bond line, will not cure properly, and will fail in service. Before you buy Abro Epoxy Clear in Kenya, verify the following:
- Abro batch number and date code printed on every syringe. The format is a multi-character batch code with manufacture date. No batch code or no expiry = reject the syringe.
- Certificate of Analysis (CoA) available on request for the specific batch — confirms mix ratio, viscosity, and Shore D hardness.
- Syringe and label quality — genuine Abro self-mixing syringes are high-quality polypropylene with a clean, crisp Abro label including the Abro Industries branding, hazard pictograms (epoxy resin and polyamine hardener are both skin sensitisers), and product code. Counterfeits have fuzzy, off-colour, or mis-spelled labels, and the syringe is often a generic no-name syringe with an Abro label stuck on.
- Self-mixing mechanism — genuine Abro Insta-Mix syringes have an internal static mixer that automatically mixes parts A and B as the plunger is depressed. Counterfeit syringes may have no internal mixer, requiring manual stirring (which is impractical with a 60-second working time), or have a poorly-fitting mixer that allows incorrect mixing.
- Cure test — dispense a small bead onto a piece of scrap glass, allow 2 minutes, then check hardness. Genuine Abro Epoxy Clear 60-Second will set hard within 2 – 5 minutes and reach full hardness within 24 hours. Counterfeit or expired product may remain soft, tacky, or fail to set at all.
- Clarity test — dispense a thin film onto a piece of clear glass, allow 24 hours to cure, then check transparency. Genuine Abro Epoxy Clear cures water-clear with minimal yellowing. Counterfeit or expired product will yellow, haze, or remain cloudy in the bond line.
- Strength test — bond two pieces of scrap glass together with the epoxy, allow 24 hours to cure, then try to separate them. Genuine Abro Epoxy Clear will exceed the strength of the substrate — the glass will fail before the bond. Counterfeit product will fail at the bond line with minimal force.
- Distributor supply — only an authorized Abro distributor like Startcore can issue a tax invoice tied to the manufacturer batch records. If your seller cannot produce a CoA or trace the batch, walk away.
Startcore supplies every syringe of original Abro Epoxy Clear Nairobi with a tax invoice, the manufacturer's batch code, and a CoA on request. We rotate stock by FIFO (first in, first out) to ensure the longest remaining shelf life ships first. Epoxy adhesives are sensitive to temperature and storage conditions — keep unopened syringes cool (refrigeration extends shelf life but allow the syringe to return to room temperature before use), and use opened syringes promptly (the self-mixing syringe is single-use once the plunger is depressed and the contents are mixed).

Abro Epoxy Clear 60-Second Insta-Mix — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Abro Epoxy Clear 60-Second Insta-Mix price in Kenya? KES 1,410 inclusive of VAT for the 14ml self-mixing syringe at Startcore Ventures, Nairobi. Trade pricing available for high-volume users and monthly contracts. Carton (12-syringe) pricing on application. The 57g Abro Epoxy Steel 4 Min Kwik syringe (dark grey, steel-filled) is also stocked at a different price — see related product. Call 0705544817 for a quote.
Is the Abro Epoxy Clear 60-Second Insta-Mix available in Nairobi right now? Yes. The 14ml self-mixing syringe is in stock at our Ngara Road store. You can collect same-day, or we can arrange Kenya-wide delivery. For bulk orders (carton quantities), call ahead on 0705544817 so we can confirm quantity and reserve stock.
What is the working time of Abro Epoxy Clear 60-Second? The working time (pot life) is 60 seconds at 23°C. This means you have approximately 60 seconds from dispensing to position and clamp the parts before the epoxy begins to set. Fixture time is 2 – 5 minutes (parts can be handled). Functional cure is 30 – 60 minutes (parts can be put into light service). Full cure is 24 hours (full mechanical strength). For longer working time on complex assemblies or large surface areas, step up to the Abro 4-Min, 30-Min, or 60-Min cure variants — call to discuss.
What is the difference between Abro Epoxy Clear 60-Second and Abro Epoxy Steel 4 Min? Epoxy Clear 60-Second is ultra-fast-cure (60-second pot life), water-clear, unfilled — for transparent, near-invisible bond lines on glass, crystal, ceramic, porcelain, jewellery, and decorative repair. Epoxy Steel 4 Min Kwik is fast-cure (4-minute pot life), dark grey, steel-filled — for structural metal repair, machine-component rebuilding, stripped thread repair, and high-strength applications where the bond line does not need to be clear. The Clear is for appearance-critical work; the Steel is for strength-critical work. For most general-purpose workshop needs, stock both.
How strong is Abro Epoxy Clear? Abro Epoxy Clear 60-Second Insta-Mix has a tensile shear strength of approximately 12 – 17 MPa (1,700 – 2,500 psi) on steel-to-steel bonds. In practical terms, the bond is stronger than the substrate — glass, ceramic, and most rigid substrates will fail before the bond does. Compressive strength is approximately 50 – 65 MPa (7,200 – 9,400 psi). Hardness is approximately Shore D 75 – 80.
Can Abro Epoxy Clear be sanded and painted? Yes. Once fully cured (24 hours), Abro Epoxy Clear can be sanded and filed (less aggressive than steel-filled grades — use fine sandpaper, 400-grit or finer). It can also be painted with most paint systems once fully cured. For appearance-critical applications, the cured epoxy can be polished to a high gloss with fine polishing compound.
Will Abro Epoxy Clear yellow over time? Abro Epoxy Clear is formulated to resist yellowing better than most standard polyamine-cured epoxies. The cured bond line remains water-clear with minimal yellowing for years in interior applications. For prolonged direct UV exposure (exterior, direct sunlight), topcoat with a UV-resistant clear lacquer or paint to prevent long-term yellowing.
Can Abro Epoxy Clear be used on glass? Yes — this is one of the classic Abro Epoxy Clear applications. It bonds glass to glass, glass to metal, glass to ceramic, and glass to most rigid substrates with a near-invisible bond line. For aquarium construction, use a specific aquarium-safe silicone — epoxy is not rated for continuous underwater immersion. For glass tile installation, use a tile adhesive — epoxy is for repairs, not full-area structural bonding.
Can Abro Epoxy Clear be used on jewellery? Yes. Abro Epoxy Clear is widely used in jewellery repair — re-bonding broken chains, re-attaching stones, repairing settings, and securing decorative trim. The water-clear bond line is virtually invisible on precious metals, semi-precious stones, and costume jewellery. For high-value or heirloom jewellery, consult a professional jeweller before attempting major repairs.
What is the shelf life of Abro Epoxy Clear? 18 – 24 months from the date of manufacture in unopened original syringe, stored at +5°C to +25°C and protected from direct sunlight. The batch code and date are printed on every syringe. Refrigeration of unopened stock extends shelf life — allow the syringe to return to room temperature before use. We rotate stock by FIFO and ship the longest remaining shelf life first. Once a self-mixing syringe is used (plunger depressed, contents mixed), the contents must be used within the 60-second working time — the syringe is single-use.
Do you deliver Abro Epoxy Clear outside Nairobi? Yes. We deliver Kenya-wide. Same-day in Nairobi, next-day to Mombasa, Kisumu, Eldoret, Nakuru, and all major towns. Delivery cost depends on location and order size. Cash on delivery available for verified trade accounts. Call 0705544817 for a delivery quote.

Genuine Abro Epoxy vs Counterfeit: What to Check
Counterfeit and expired epoxy adhesives are common in the Kenyan automotive, hardware, and giftware supply market. A syringe of fake or expired clear epoxy will yellow in the bond line, will not cure properly, and will fail in service. Before you buy Abro Epoxy Clear in Kenya, verify the following:
- Abro batch number and date code printed on every syringe. The format is a multi-character batch code with manufacture date. No batch code or no expiry = reject the syringe.
- Certificate of Analysis (CoA) available on request for the specific batch — confirms mix ratio, viscosity, and Shore D hardness.
- Syringe and label quality — genuine Abro self-mixing syringes are high-quality polypropylene with a clean, crisp Abro label including the Abro Industries branding, hazard pictograms (epoxy resin and polyamine hardener are both skin sensitisers), and product code. Counterfeits have fuzzy, off-colour, or mis-spelled labels, and the syringe is often a generic no-name syringe with an Abro label stuck on.
- Self-mixing mechanism — genuine Abro Insta-Mix syringes have an internal static mixer that automatically mixes parts A and B as the plunger is depressed. Counterfeit syringes may have no internal mixer, requiring manual stirring (which is impractical with a 60-second working time), or have a poorly-fitting mixer that allows incorrect mixing.
- Cure test — dispense a small bead onto a piece of scrap glass, allow 2 minutes, then check hardness. Genuine Abro Epoxy Clear 60-Second will set hard within 2 – 5 minutes and reach full hardness within 24 hours. Counterfeit or expired product may remain soft, tacky, or fail to set at all.
- Clarity test — dispense a thin film onto a piece of clear glass, allow 24 hours to cure, then check transparency. Genuine Abro Epoxy Clear cures water-clear with minimal yellowing. Counterfeit or expired product will yellow, haze, or remain cloudy in the bond line.
- Strength test — bond two pieces of scrap glass together with the epoxy, allow 24 hours to cure, then try to separate them. Genuine Abro Epoxy Clear will exceed the strength of the substrate — the glass will fail before the bond. Counterfeit product will fail at the bond line with minimal force.
- Distributor supply — only an authorized Abro distributor like Startcore can issue a tax invoice tied to the manufacturer batch records. If your seller cannot produce a CoA or trace the batch, walk away.
Startcore supplies every syringe of original Abro Epoxy Clear Nairobi with a tax invoice, the manufacturer's batch code, and a CoA on request. We rotate stock by FIFO (first in, first out) to ensure the longest remaining shelf life ships first. Epoxy adhesives are sensitive to temperature and storage conditions — keep unopened syringes cool (refrigeration extends shelf life but allow the syringe to return to room temperature before use), and use opened syringes promptly (the self-mixing syringe is single-use once the plunger is depressed and the contents are mixed).

You can collect same-day, or we can arrange Kenya-wide delivery. For bulk orders (carton quantities), call ahead on 0705544817 so we can confirm quantity and reserve stock.
What is the working time of Abro Epoxy Clear 60-Second? The working time (pot life) is 60 seconds at 23°C. This means you have approximately 60 seconds from dispensing to position and clamp the parts before the epoxy begins to set. Fixture time is 2 – 5 minutes (parts can be handled). Functional cure is 30 – 60 minutes (parts can be put into light service). Full cure is 24 hours (full mechanical strength). For longer working time on complex assemblies or large surface areas, step up to the Abro 4-Min, 30-Min, or 60-Min cure variants — call to discuss.
What is the difference between Abro Epoxy Clear 60-Second and Abro Epoxy Steel 4 Min? Epoxy Clear 60-Second is ultra-fast-cure (60-second pot life), water-clear, unfilled — for transparent, near-invisible bond lines on glass, crystal, ceramic, porcelain, jewellery, and decorative repair. Epoxy Steel 4 Min Kwik is fast-cure (4-minute pot life), dark grey, steel-filled — for structural metal repair, machine-component rebuilding, stripped thread repair, and high-strength applications where the bond line does not need to be clear. The Clear is for appearance-critical work; the Steel is for strength-critical work. For most general-purpose workshop needs, stock both.
How strong is Abro Epoxy Clear? Abro Epoxy Clear 60-Second Insta-Mix has a tensile shear strength of approximately 12 – 17 MPa (1,700 – 2,500 psi) on steel-to-steel bonds. In practical terms, the bond is stronger than the substrate — glass, ceramic, and most rigid substrates will fail before the bond does. Compressive strength is approximately 50 – 65 MPa (7,200 – 9,400 psi). Hardness is approximately Shore D 75 – 80.
Can Abro Epoxy Clear be sanded and painted? Yes. Once fully cured (24 hours), Abro Epoxy Clear can be sanded and filed (less aggressive than steel-filled grades — use fine sandpaper, 400-grit or finer). It can also be painted with most paint systems once fully cured. For appearance-critical applications, the cured epoxy can be polished to a high gloss with fine polishing compound.
Will Abro Epoxy Clear yellow over time? Abro Epoxy Clear is formulated to resist yellowing better than most standard polyamine-cured epoxies. The cured bond line remains water-clear with minimal yellowing for years in interior applications. For prolonged direct UV exposure (exterior, direct sunlight), topcoat with a UV-resistant clear lacquer or paint to prevent long-term yellowing.
Can Abro Epoxy Clear be used on glass? Yes — this is one of the classic Abro Epoxy Clear applications. It bonds glass to glass, glass to metal, glass to ceramic, and glass to most rigid substrates with a near-invisible bond line. For aquarium construction, use a specific aquarium-safe silicone — epoxy is not rated for continuous underwater immersion. For glass tile installation, use a tile adhesive — epoxy is for repairs, not full-area structural bonding.
Can Abro Epoxy Clear be used on jewellery? Yes. Abro Epoxy Clear is widely used in jewellery repair — re-bonding broken chains, re-attaching stones, repairing settings, and securing decorative trim. The water-clear bond line is virtually invisible on precious metals, semi-precious stones, and costume jewellery. For high-value or heirloom jewellery, consult a professional jeweller before attempting major repairs.
What is the shelf life of Abro Epoxy Clear? 18 – 24 months from the date of manufacture in unopened original syringe, stored at +5°C to +25°C and protected from direct sunlight. The batch code and date are printed on every syringe. Refrigeration of unopened stock extends shelf life — allow the syringe to return to room temperature before use. We rotate stock by FIFO and ship the longest remaining shelf life first. Once a self-mixing syringe is used (plunger depressed, contents mixed), the contents must be used within the 60-second working time — the syringe is single-use.
Do you deliver Abro Epoxy Clear outside Nairobi? Yes. We deliver Kenya-wide. Same-day in Nairobi, next-day to Mombasa, Kisumu, Eldoret, Nakuru, and all major towns. Delivery cost depends on location and order size. Cash on delivery available for verified trade accounts. Call 0705544817 for a delivery quote.
