Product Name
Permabond Acrylic TA452 50ml Low-Odour 2-part, 1:1 Toughened Acrylic Adhesive Cartridge and Accessories
Brief Description
Permabond TA452 is a low-odour, two-part, 1:1 mix ratio toughened acrylic adhesive designed for the structural bonding of a wide variety of materials. It is supplied in an easy-to-dispense cartridge and cures rapidly at room temperature, offering high strength and durability.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Bonding of aircraft parts.- Assembly of automotive exterior components.- Construction of lifts, stairlifts, stairs, and walkways.- Sign bonding, point of sale displays, and shopfitting.- Manufacturing of bus, train, and tram interiors.- Vehicle conversions, such as campervans.- Magnet/ferrite bonding in electric motors.- Loudspeaker component assembly.- General structural bonding of dissimilar materials.
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Aerospace/Defense- Automotive Service/Repair- Cabinet & Woodworking- Construction/ Building Services- Electrical Services or Products- Fabrication- Furniture- General Manufacturing- LED/Electronics- Marine- Metal Fabrication- Plastic Fabrication- Sign & Display- Transportation/ Specialty Vehicle
Special and Unique Features
- Low-odour formulation, improving worker comfort and suitable for areas with poor ventilation.- Two-part, 1:1 mix ratio for easy dispensing and application.- Toughened acrylic for excellent impact and vibration resistance.- Cures rapidly at room temperature, eliminating the need for ovens.- Thixotropic and non-slump rheology, allowing for good gap-filling and non-sag properties.- Non-flammable, aiding in transport and storage.- High shear and peel strength.
Key Properties
- **Adhesive Type:** 2-part, 1:1 Toughened Acrylic- **Cure Mechanism:** Room temperature cure- **Odour:** Low-odour- **Mix Ratio:** 1:1 by volume- **Dispensing:** Cartridge with mixing nozzle or bead-on-bead application- **Shear Strength (Mild Steel):** 28-32 N/mm² (4060-4640 psi)- **Shear Strength (Aluminium):** 18-22 N/mm²- **Temperature Resistance:** -55°C to higher temperatures for brief periods (e.g., paint baking, wave soldering)- **Viscosity (Mixed):** 4,500 mPa.s (cP)- **Fixture Time:** 6-9 minutes
Surface Compatibility
- Metals (e.g., mild steel, aluminium, copper, alloys)- Plastics (compatibility check recommended for some thermoplastics)- GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic)- Ceramics- Wood- Other substrates- Surfaces should be clean, dry, and grease-free; light abrasion may benefit some metals.
Known backups / known substitutes
- Other Permabond structural acrylic adhesives (e.g., TA430, TA435, TA436, TA437, TA439, TA440, TA4522, TA459, TA4605, TA4610, TA4611, TA4810, TA4820, TA4200, TA4202, TA4204, TA4205, TA4207, TA4210, TA4230, TA4246) depending on specific application requirements like substrate, cure speed, temperature resistance, or low surface energy plastic bonding.- Epoxy adhesives (for ultimate strength, but may have different cure profiles).- Methacrylate adhesives (like Permabond TA4820, for thermoplastics, thermosets, metals, and composites, often with excellent adhesion to as-received metal surfaces).- Cyanoacrylate adhesives (for fast cure, but generally more brittle and lower impact resistance than toughened acrylics).
Comparison Note
Permabond TA452 is a toughened acrylic adhesive, offering a balance of high strength, durability, and flexibility, making it suitable for applications subject to impact, vibration, and differential thermal expansion, unlike more rigid adhesives or brittle cyanoacrylates. Its low-odour and non-flammable properties enhance user comfort and safety in production environments. It provides excellent adhesion to a broad range of substrates without extensive surface preparation, though cleaning is recommended.
