Epoxy adhesive ET5428 series

for metalsingle-componentindustrial

PERMABOND® ET5428 is a thixotropic two-part adhesive with excellent resistance to impact and vibration. The controlled flow properties as well as its ease of mixing and application, enables the adhesive to be used where gap filling is required. Permabond® ET5428 has been found to provide exceptional performance even at elevated temperatures. Permabond® ET5428 has been specifically formulated for use in applications requiring toughness and high strength and shows special benefits in the construction of composite assemblies. 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 aluminium, copper and its alloys will benefit from light abrasion with emery cloth (or similar), to remove the oxide layer. 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 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 the usable pot life 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 until handling strength is obtained. 6. Full cure will be obtained after 24-48 hours at 23°C (73°F). Heat can be used to accelerate the curing process.
