PERMABOND® ES550
- Chemical Family
- Epoxy & Epoxy Derivatives
PERMABOND® ES550 is a single-part epoxy paste which is slump-resistant (does not flow) during cure. The adhesive is toughened for maximum impact resistance, along with excellent peel and shear strength. ES550 is ideal for bonding a wide range of materials including metals, ferrites, ceramics and composites.

- Use Direction
The adhesive should be dispensed from the cartridge via the nozzle supplied (this can be cut to give the appropriate sized bead to cover the bond area).; Apply the adhesive to one surface and avoid entrapping air.; Assemble parts applying sufficient pressure to ensure the adhesive spreads to cover the entire bond area.; Use a jig / clamp to prevent parts moving during cure.; It is advisable not to disturb the joint until the adhesive is fully cured.; Cure with heat – see page one for cure schedule.
- Benefits and Features
- Excellent adhesive strength
- Excellent resistance to vibration
- Easy to use – no mixing required
- High shear and peel strength
- Good impact strength
- High temperature resistance
- Good resistance to chemicals
- Storage Temperature
- 2 to 7°C (35 to 45°F)
- Surface Preparation
Surfaces should be clean, dry and grease-free before applying the adhesive. Use a suitable solvent (such as acetone or isopropanol) for the degreasing of surfaces. Some metals such as aluminum, copper and its alloys will benefit from light abrasion with emery cloth (or similar), to remove the oxide layer.
