Anaerobic Retainer Technical Datasheet Permabond Engineering Adhesives Toughened Rapid cure Ideal when bonding dissimilar materials Improved fatigue life Permabond® A1046 is a rapid curing adhesive designed to provide permanent locking and sealing of metal parts such as bearings, gears, pulleys and threaded components. It exhibits high strength and excellent durability, even under the most arduous conditions. Permabond A1046 helps joints resist vibration, fatigue and fretting corrosion, which allows machining tolerances to be relaxed and mechanical locking devices to be eliminated. Permabond A1046 will help reduce processing costs. Strength Development Brass Mild Steel Zinc Stainless steel Physical Properties of Uncured Adhesive Chemical composition Typical Curing Properties Maximum thread size *Handling time at 23°C/ 73°F. Copper and its alloys will make the adhesive cure more quickly, while oxidised or passivated surfaces (like stainless steel) will reduce cure speed. To reduce curing time, use Permabond activator A905 or ASC10 alternatively, increasing the curing temperature will reduce curing time. *Cure times are typical at 23°C. Copper and its alloys will follow the faster cure while oxidised or passivated surfaces like stainless steel will tend towards the slower curve. Lower temperatures or large gaps will tend to extend the cure time. To reduce the cure time the use of Permabond A905, ASC10, or heat can be considered.

High Temperature Grades A1046 "Hot strength" Breakaway strength on M10 Zinc plated bolts according to ISO 10964. Cured at 23°C for 24 hours then conditioned for 30 minutes at testing temperature. A1046 can withstand higher temperatures for brief periods (such as for paint baking and wave soldering processes) providing the joint is not unduly stressed. The minimum temperature the cured adhesive can be exposed to is -55°C (-65°F) depending on the materials being bonded. Surface Preparation Though the anaerobic adhesives will tolerate a slight degree of surface contamination, best results are obtained...
