WW2 Bostik (B.B. Chemical Co. Ltd.), Ulverscroft Works, Leicester, manufacture Bostik adhesives and sealing compounds. The correct grades of Bostik adhesives provide maximum adhesion between a variety of materials—adhesion that is also water resisting and resilient. For example, No. 292 Bostik Cement gives a waterproof seal between glass and metal, and between glass and rubber. No. 292 C Bostik Universal Cement and No. 325 Bostik White Cement are used to attach fabric overlays and underlays to metal, and to suck rubber to metal. No. 103 Bostik Cement is petrol proof.
