Radioactivity measurements of a large number of adhesives

Low energy and low counting rate experiments in neutrino and astroparticle physics need building materials with natural radioactivity as low as possible. The intrinsic activity of a large number of adhesives, used in the low-level rate experiments MUNU, St-Gotthard and NEMO, is presented.
