FAQ – Permabond ET500 Epoxy Adhesive

What is Permabond ET500 used for?

Permabond ET500 is a two-part structural epoxy adhesive used for high strength bonding of metals, plastics, composites and engineering materials. It is commonly used in automotive, engineering, manufacturing and industrial maintenance where a strong, durable bond is required.

---

Is Permabond ET500 a structural epoxy?

Yes, Permabond ET500 is a structural epoxy adhesive designed for load-bearing and high strength applications. It provides excellent mechanical strength and is suitable for repairs, assembly and permanent bonding of engineering materials.

---

What materials can Permabond ET500 bond?

Permabond ET500 bonds a wide range of materials including steel, aluminium, stainless steel, plastics, composites, GRP, FRP, ceramics and wood. It is often used where different materials need to be bonded together.

---

How does Permabond ET500 cure?

Permabond ET500 is a two-part epoxy supplied in a 1:1 cartridge. When dispensed through a static mixer, the resin and hardener mix automatically and begin curing at room temperature, forming a strong structural bond.

---

How fast does Permabond ET500 set?

Permabond ET500 is a fast curing epoxy adhesive. Fixture time depends on temperature and materials, but the adhesive develops handling strength quickly and continues to gain full strength as it cures.

---

Does Permabond ET500 fill gaps?

Yes, Permabond ET500 has good gap filling properties. Unlike thin super glues, epoxy adhesives can fill small gaps between parts while still providing high strength bonding.

---

Can Permabond ET500 be used for metal bonding?

Yes, Permabond ET500 epoxy adhesive is commonly used for bonding steel, aluminium and stainless steel. It is suitable for structural repairs, brackets, panels, machinery parts and general engineering work.

---

Is Permabond ET500 suitable for plastics and composites?

Yes, ET500 bonds many plastics and composite materials including GRP, FRP and engineering plastics. It is often used in automotive, marine and industrial applications where mixed materials need to be bonded.

---

Does Permabond ET500 require a dispensing gun?

Yes, the 50ml cartridge requires a 50ml dispensing gun and static mixer nozzle to ensure the correct 1:1 mix ratio. Using the correct applicator ensures the adhesive cures properly and achieves full strength.

---

Can Permabond ET500 be used for automotive repairs?

Yes, ET500 is widely used in automotive and engineering repairs for bonding metal parts, plastic components, panels, brackets and housings where a strong, permanent bond is needed.

---

How should surfaces be prepared before using epoxy adhesive?

For best results, surfaces should be clean, dry and free from oil or grease. Light abrasion on metal surfaces can improve bond strength, especially for structural applications.

---

What is the difference between epoxy and super glue?

Epoxy adhesives like Permabond ET500 are stronger and better for structural bonding and gap filling, while cyanoacrylate (super glue) cures faster but is usually used for small parts and close fitting components.
