It is ideal for bonding and sealing metal components and can be applied to pre-assembled joints. When heated for curing, the adhesive flows like solder and wicks into small gaps where it will cure, forming a high strength durable bond.Permabond ES558 is often used instead of welding or brazing joints, simplifying production lines and reducing the hazards associated with labour-intensive welding processes. The adhesive provides 100% seal between components and provides better stress distribution, as well as giving an aesthetically pleasing finish. It is ideal for a wide range of applications and is particularly popular for sealing heat exchanger tubes.
EASY TO USE
Permabond ES558 comes in convenient 320ml cartridges which fit in a regular caulking gun or in bulk. The adhesive requires no measuring or mixing. It is also available in bulk for use with automatic dispensing equipment. Adhesive can be applied at leisure and when you are certain parts are aligned correctly and clamped, the adhesive can then be heat cured.
