Product Name
Permabond 200 Instant Adhesive-Fast-Set Thick General Purpose, Great for Plastic & Rubber
Brief Description
Permabond 200 is a high-viscosity, fast-setting ethyl cyanoacrylate adhesive, commonly known as instant adhesive or super glue. It is a single-component adhesive that polymerizes rapidly when pressed into a thin film between parts, curing quickly with moisture adsorbed on the surface.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Wire tacking applications in electronics and industrial assembly- Bonding small components in precision manufacturing- General assembly and repair in industrial settings- Gap-filling applications requiring strong adhesion- Bonding smooth to rough or porous surfaces- Sealing wood to add strength and prevent cracking- Used as a finish, particularly for pens
Industries that Commonly Use It
- General Manufacturing- Metal Fabrication- Plastic Fabrication- Automotive Service/Repair- Medical Device/ Prosthetics- LED/Electronics- Aerospace/Defense- Furniture- Cabinet & Woodworking- Artist, Artisan- Distributers & Resellers- Industrial Supply
Special and Unique Features
- High viscosity for controlled application, preventing excessive flow and allowing precise placement- Fast setting and fixturing of parts, achieving handling strength in seconds- Rapid development of high bond strength- Ease of use, requiring no mixing or heat cure- Bonds a wide range of materials effectively- 100% reactive and solvent-free formulation- Good flow control useful in wire tacking applications
Key Properties
- Chemical Composition: Ethyl Cyanoacrylate- Appearance: Colorless/Clear- Viscosity @ 25°C: 1,500 mPa.s (cP)- Maximum Gap Fill: 0.38 mm (0.015 in)- Fixture/Handling Time: Approximately 15 seconds (for Steel, Buna-N Rubber, Phenolic)- Full Cure Time: 24 hours- Temperature Range (Continuous): -55°C to 100°C (-65°F to 212°F)- Short Exposure Temperature: Up to 150°C (300°F)- Shear Strength (Steel): 22 N/mm² (3200 psi)- Impact Strength (ASTM D-950): 3-7 kJ/m² (1.4-3.3 ft-lb/in²)
Surface Compatibility
- Plastics (most types)- Rubber (most types, including Buna-N)- Metals (e.g., steel, aluminum, copper and its alloys)- Ceramics- Wood- Note: For difficult-to-bond plastics like polypropylene, polyethylene, PTFE, or silicone, a polyolefin primer (e.g., Permabond POP) is recommended. Bonding of glass is generally not recommended for long-term applications due to bond degeneration.
Known backups / known substitutes
- Loctite 410- 3M Scotch-Weld CA100- Permatex Black Super Glue- Stick Fast Thick CA Adhesive- Other Permabond Cyanoacrylate grades such as Permabond 240 (for maximum gap filling) or Permabond 102 (medium viscosity general purpose) depending on specific application needs.
Comparison Note
Permabond 200 stands out as a high-viscosity instant adhesive, providing excellent flow control for precise application and effective gap-filling capabilities. It offers a rapid cure and strong, durable bonds across a broad spectrum of common industrial materials, making it a versatile choice for high-speed production and general assembly where controlled application and fast fixturing are critical.
