Permabond ES562 Single Part Epoxy Resin

Product Overview

PERMABOND ES562is a single-part epoxy adhesive which flows like solder when heated during curing. The adhesive has excellent adhesion to metal surfaces and composites. The high bond strength of this adhesive allows it to replace mechanical fastening, soldering or brazing. The adhesive’s low viscosity is such that it self-levels.

Featured Properties

• Excellent adhesive strength
• Excellent resistance to vibration
• Easy to use –no mixing required
• High shear strength
• Low viscosity, self levelling
• Good resistance to chemicals

Storage

Storage Temperature - 2 to 7°C (35 to 45°F)

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)The adhesive should be dispensed from the bottlevia the nozzle supplied (this can be cut to give the appropriate sized bead to cover the bond area).

2)Apply the adhesive to one surfaceand avoid entrapping air.

3)Assemble parts applying sufficient pressure to ensure the adhesive spreads to cover the entire bond area.

4)Use a jig / clamp to prevent parts moving during cure.

5)It is advisable not to disturb the joint until the adhesive is fully cured.

6)Cure with heat –see page one for cure schedule.
