PERMABOND® ET500
- Chemical Family
- Epoxy & Epoxy Derivatives
PERMABOND® ET500 is a two-part fast-setting epoxy adhesive which bonds to a wide variety of substrates such as wood, metal, ceramics and some plastics and composites. It cures rapidly at room temperature to give handling strength in approximately 5 minutes. This product is ideal for general purpose bonding. It is typically used for small component assembly and is suitable for applications that require a clear bond line.

- Use Direction
1. Dual cartridges: a) Insert the cartridge into the application gun and guide the plunger into the cartridge. b) Remove the cartridge cap and dispense material until both sides are flowing. c) Attach the static mixer to the end of the cartridge and begin dispensing the material. 2. Apply material to one of the substrates. 3. Join the parts. Parts must be joined within 3-4 minutes of mixing the two epoxy components. 4. Large quantities and/or higher temperature will decrease the usable life or pot life. 5. Apply pressure to the assembly by clamping for 8 minutes or until handling strength is obtained. 6. Full cure will be obtained after 24 hours at 25°C (77°F). Heat can be used to accelerate the curing process. NB. Exercise caution when mixing large quantities due to exothermic reaction.
- Benefits and Features
- Adhesion to a wide variety of substrates
- Full cure at room temperature
- Easy to apply
- Fast setting
- Storage Temperature
- 5 to 25°C (41 to 77°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.
