Product catalog summary
Overview: Permabond offers a range of single-part epoxy adhesives suitable for bonding various materials, with different viscosities and characteristics designed for high-performance applications. Additionally, Permabond provides UV-curable adhesives with numerous benefits and applications.
UV-Curable Adhesives Benefits:
  • Cure on demand, allowing proper alignment before bonding.
  • Increased production speed by adding more lamps.
  • Non-flammable and solvent-free, ensuring a safe work environment.
  • Single-part product, eliminating the need for mixing.
  • Energy and space-saving due to UV lamps requiring less electricity and space.
  • Provides a pleasing finished appearance.
  • Technical support available for joint design and adhesive selection.
  • 100% solids, resulting in no waste.
Applications: Suitable for bonding glass to glass or glass to metal, forming high-strength bonds for load-bearing joints. They are flexible and stress-absorbing, ideal for substrates with different thermal expansions. Permabond UV adhesives can bond a variety of plastics, including those with UV stabilizers, using UV and visible light curing capabilities.
Curing Process: UV adhesives cure upon exposure to ultraviolet light, containing photo-initiators that react to specific wavelengths. They form strong chemical bonds without dissolving or weakening the substrates.
Cure Speed Factors: Cure speed is influenced by light source wavelength and intensity, distance from the light to the bond site, UV transmission of components, and adhesive thickness. Permabond provides technical assistance to optimize these factors.
Product Selection Guide: The document includes a table of various Permabond UV-curable adhesives, detailing their primary applications, appearance, viscosity, tensile and shear strength, hardness, refractive index, elongation, and service temperature range. Each product is tailored for specific bonding needs, such as high-strength bonding, general-purpose use, non-drip applications, and bonding specific plastics like PETG and polycarbonate.
Additional Adhesive Types: Permabond also offers anaerobics, cyanoacrylates, epoxies, MS-polymers, polyurethanes, and toughened acrylics for various bonding applications.
Contact Information: Permabond provides contact details for their offices in the Americas, Europe, and Asia for further inquiries and technical support.

UV-Curable Adhesives-1

UV-Curable Adhesives Permabond single-part epoxy adhesives are suitable for bonding a wide variety of materials. They are available with a range of different viscosities and characteristics. Permabond epoxies have been developed to offer a high standard of performance for demanding applications.Permabond UV curable adhesives are suitable for a variety of applications. They are excellent for bonding glass to glass or glass to metal and form very high strength bonds for load bearing joints, such as those found in glass furniture and display cases. Permabond UV curable adhesives form strong and durable bonds. Permabond UV curable adhesives cure during exposure to ultra violet light. The adhesives contain photo-initiators that react to specific wavelengths of light to cure the adhesive. Flexible and stress absorbing, Permabond UV curable adhesives are suited to applications where substrates with different thermal expansions need to be bonded. Permabond UV curable adhesives bond a wide variety of plastics. Some clear plastics contain UV stabilizers that block the transmission of UV light, however, Permabond has formulated plastic bonding adhesives with UV and visible light curing capabilities to allow these plastics to be bonded. Permabond's technical staff can help you identify the UV transission characteristics of the plastic you are using and assist you with selecting the best product for your application. UV adhesives do not dissolve, melt or weaken the two components. They form strong chemical bonds between the two substrates and provide a high strength alternative to other joining methods. Curing lamps are available in a variety of intensities from small inexpensive hobby type lamps to high intensity units for high speed production. Permabond will help you select the equipment best suited to your specific application. ► Cure on demand - allows proper alignment of components before bonding. ► Speed - increase production by simply adding more lamps to the line. ► Non-flammable and solvent-free - supports a safe and comfortable work environment. ► Single part product - No mixing required. ► Save energy and space - UV lamps require less electricity and space compared to ovens. ► Appearance - UV adhesives provide a pleasing finished appearance. ► Technical support- application specialists available for assistance with joint design, adhesive selection and production process environmental conditions
