Permabond 268 Cyanoacrylate Super Glue Instant Adhesive is a one component, medium-high viscosity, instant setting adhesive that is used for bonding rough surfaces, passivated metals, rubber, ceramics, plastics, and large gap applications. It provides faster set times and improved gap-filling capability compared to conventional cyanoacrylates. The adhesive bonds to a wide range of substrates including metals, ceramics, plastics and elastomers. It is excellent for bonding difficult-to-bond plastics such as polyacetals. It can also be used on passivated metal surfaces. 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.
Features and Benefits
- Versatile and general purpose
- Good gap fill ability
- Instant setting
Approved to MIL-A-46050C Type II Class 3 (existing designs)

Product Name
Permabond 268 Instant Adhesive-Fast-Set,-Gap Filling for Difficult Plastics & Rubbers
Brief Description
Permabond 268 is a medium-to-high viscosity, single-component ethyl cyanoacrylate adhesive designed for rapid bonding and effective gap-filling. It is specifically formulated to create strong, durable bonds on a wide range of substrates, including challenging low surface energy plastics and various rubbers, as well as metals and ceramics.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Bonding difficult-to-bond plastics such as polyacetals.- Bonding various elastomers and rubbers.- General assembly, tacking, and fixturing of components.- Applications requiring fast handling strength and gap-filling up to 0.43 mm (0.017 in).- Bonding passivated metal surfaces.
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Aerospace/Defense- Automotive Service/Repair- General Manufacturing- LED/Electronics- Medical Device/Prosthetics- Metal Fabrication- Plastic Fabrication- Transportation/Specialty Vehicle
Special and Unique Features
- Optimized for difficult-to-bond plastics and rubbers.- Fast-setting formula, achieving handling strength in 5-10 seconds.- Medium-high viscosity for controlled application and gap-filling up to 0.43 mm (0.017 in).- MIL-SPEC compliant (MIL-A-46050C Type II, Class 3).- High strength and impact resistance.- Single-part system, requiring no mixing.- 100% solids, solvent-free.
Key Properties
- Chemical Composition: Ethyl cyanoacrylate- Appearance: Colourless/Clear- Viscosity: 1,200-2,400 mPa.s (medium-high)- Gap Fill: Up to 0.43 mm (0.017 in)- Fixture/Handling Time: 5-10 seconds (steel, Buna-N rubber, phenolic)- Full Cure Time: 24 hours- Shear Strength (Steel): 20-22 N/mm² (2900-3200 psi)- Temperature Range: -55°C to 82°C (-65°F to 180°F)- Impact Strength: 3-5 kJ/m² (1.4-2.4 ft-lb/in²)
Surface Compatibility
- Difficult plastics (e.g., polyacetals)- Rubbers and elastomers (e.g., Buna-N)- Metals (including passivated metals, steel, aluminum, copper)- Ceramics- Other plastics (ABS, PVC, Polycarbonate)
Known backups / known substitutes
- Loctite® 380- 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ PR600- Permatex® Black Super Glue- Other Permabond cyanoacrylates (e.g., Permabond 737, Permabond 792)- Other cyanoacrylate (super glue) brands like ASI RP Series, Infinity Bond CA-SI, Infinity Bond CA-RT- For difficult plastics and rubbers, structural acrylic adhesives (e.g., Permabond TA4605, TA4610, TA4611, TA4631) can be alternatives, offering slower cure times.
Comparison Note
Permabond 268 offers faster set times and improved gap-filling capabilities compared to many conventional cyanoacrylates, making it a high-performance solution for challenging bonding applications, especially with difficult plastics and rubbers, while also meeting MIL-SPEC standards.
