Permabond ET515 Two-Part Epoxy Adhesive

Permabond ET515 is a 1:1 mixable two-part epoxy adhesive. It’s a relatively fast curing epoxy; reaching handling strength in 20-30 minutes. ET515 is a semi-flexible toughened adhesive with good adhesion to a variety of substrates.

Applications

• Ideal for bonding wood, metal, ceramics and some plastics and composites.

Features

• Adhesion to a wide variety of substrates
• Full cure at room temperature
• Easy to apply
• Semi-flexible
• Good impact strength

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 10-20 minutes 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 for 30 minutes or until handling strength is obtained.
6. Full cure will be obtained after 72 hours at 25°C (77°F). Heat can be used to accelerate the curing process.
