Built by Big Dog. Powered by ReLoad.

ReLoad is the latest chapter in a family-owned adhesives company that cut its teeth on structural MMA (acrylic and methyl methacrylate) and epoxy adhesives, grew through supply chain chaos and now helps end users waste less and bond better.

ReLoad is developed and supported by Big Dog Adhesives, a family-owned adhesives manufacturer based in Elkhart, Indiana.

Founded in 2017, Big Dog started as a focused structural MMA (acrylic and methyl methacrylate) and epoxy adhesives manufacturer. Today, we operate from a 70,000 square-foot facility among three buildings, employ nearly 100 people and bring more than 100 years of combined adhesives experience under one roof, all while formulating, manufacturing and packaging our products right here in the USA.

ReLoad is the answer to a problem we see every day: too many single-use cartridges going in the trash and too much money going with them.

Built on our MMA and epoxy expertise, ReLoad pairs a patent pending system with adhesive filled thin gauge aluminum foils containing Big Dog’s proven chemistries with an innovatively designed multi-use nose-and-housing assembly, so you can keep your guns, reduce waste and stay supplied, simply by ReLoading, Reversing and ReUsing the assemblies with fresh foils. ReLoad is a pure adhesive solution.
