  • Handling Time: 5-8 minutes at 23°C
  • Full Cure: 24 hours at 23°C

Performance of Cured Adhesive
  • Shear Strength (Mild Steel): 12-18 N/mm²
  • Peel Strength (Aluminium): 5-20 N/25mm
  • Hardness: 70-80 Shore D
  • Elongation at Break: <5%
  • Glass Transition Temperature: 40-50°C
  • Dielectric Strength: 15-25 kV/mm
  • Thermal Conductivity: 0.22 W/(m.K)

Application Instructions
  1. Insert the cartridge into the application gun and guide the plunger into the cartridge.
  2. Remove the cartridge cap and dispense material until both sides are flowing.
  3. Attach the static mixer to the end of the cartridge and begin dispensing the material.
  4. Apply material to one of the substrates and join the parts within 3-4 minutes.
  5. Clamp the assembly for 8 minutes or until handling strength is obtained.
  6. Full cure is achieved after 24 hours at 25°C. Heat can accelerate curing.

Storage & Handling
  • Store at 5 to 25°C (41 to 77°F)
  • Exercise caution when mixing large quantities due to exothermic reaction.

Safety and Precautions
  • Not recommended for use with strong oxidizing materials.
  • Follow good industrial hygiene practices.
  • Refer to the safety data sheet for safe handling information.

PERMABOND® ET500-1

PERMABOND® ET500Two-Part Epoxy Technical Datasheet Adhesion to a wide variety of substrates Full cure at room temperature Easy to apply Fast setting 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. *Strength results will vary depending on the level of surface preparation and gap. Physical Properties of Uncured Adhesive Strength Development Typical Curing Properties Mix ratio by volume Graph shows typical strength development of bonded components. An increase of 8°C in temperature will halve the cure time. Lower temperatures will result in a slower cure time.

"Hot strength" shear strength tests performed on mild steel. Fully cured specimens conditioned to pull temperature for 30 minutes before testing at temperature. ET500 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 -40°C (-40°F) depending on the materials being bonded. Directions for Use 1. Dual cartridges: a) Insert the cartridge into the application gun and guide the plunger into the cartridge. b) Remove the cartridge cap and...
