Substrates
Permabond single-part epoxy adhesives will bond most engineering materials. They form excellent structural bonds to a wide variety of
materials including metals, composites, wood and even some plastics. Permabond has developed low temperature curing single part
epoxies for use on plastics which would otherwise melt or deform during the heat curing process.

Durability
These adhesives offer excellent performance at high temperatures and harsh environmental conditions, having superb resistance to strong
chemicals.

Applications
Single-part epoxies are ideal for use in heavy wear-and-tear applications such as bonding tungsten carbide tools & machinery. They are
ideal for replacing welding and brazing and can significantly reduce assembly production costs. For this reason their use is widespread in
the heat exchanger bonding market for sealing heat exchanger tubes and end-plates. Their excellent impact and temperature resistance
also make them popular for bonding electric motor magnets.

Material selection
By replacing welding or brazing, the designer can have greater freedom of choice of manufacturing materials and can bond dissimilar
substrates together. This can help reduce component cost and weight and improve performance.

Process
Adhesive is available in cartridge form or in bulk to dispense via automated dispensing equipment. The adhesives cure rapidly when
heated so it is necessary to use and oven to cure the adhesive (or other method such as an induction coil, infra-red or a hot air gun).

Joint design
The high shear and peel strength of the bonds, coupled with the increased stress distribution of adhesives, greatly expands joint design
possibilities.
