Product Name
Permabond 910FS Instant Adhesive-Fast-Set Ultra-Low Viscosity (water-like) Thin Metal-General Purpose
Brief Description
Permabond 910FS is a single-component, 100% methyl cyanoacrylate adhesive characterized by its ultra-low (water-like) viscosity and rapid curing at room temperature. It is specifically engineered for high-strength bonding of metal surfaces, while also providing excellent adhesion to a wide range of plastics and rubbers.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Bonding metal to metal or metal to other substrates.- Product assembly and manufacturing.- Wire tacking.- Fixturing parts before riveting or welding.- Bonding O-rings and name plates.- Precision bonding of metal components.- Applications requiring wicking into pre-assembled parts or tight-fitting joints due to its low viscosity.
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Aerospace/Defense- Automotive Service/Repair- General Manufacturing- Government & Military- Industrial Supply- Metal Fabrication- Plastic Fabrication- Fabrication- Engineering Services
Special and Unique Features
- Original 100% methyl cyanoacrylate formulation.- Ultra-low (water-like) viscosity for wicking into tight spaces and pre-assembled parts.- Fastest setting methyl cyanoacrylate.- Rapid development of high strength, with fixture strength in 5-10 seconds on most surfaces.- Resistant to most chemicals and offers greater resistance to high temperatures than many conventional ethyl cyanoacrylate adhesives.- Formulated to be less aggressive to sensitive plastic surfaces such as Styrofoam, polycarbonate, and ABS.- Meets MIL-SPEC MIL-A-46050C Type I, Class 1 (existing designs) and CID A-A-3097 Type I, Class 1 (new designs).- Single-part adhesive, requiring no mixing.- 100% solids, solvent-free.
Key Properties

Surface Compatibility
- Metals: Excellent adhesion to steel, aluminum, brass, stainless steel.- Plastics: Bonds most plastics, including sensitive ones like Styrofoam, polycarbonate, and ABS.- Rubbers: Bonds various rubbers, including O-rings and Buna-N.- Other: Can bond to other porous or non-porous substrates.
Known backups / known substitutes
- Loctite® 410- 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ PR100- Permatex® Black Super Glue- Permabond 910 (similar, but 910FS is lower viscosity and faster setting).- Other industrial-grade fast-setting, low-viscosity cyanoacrylates (e.g., Infinity Bond M Series, Deli 502).- Permabond 791 (low viscosity, surface insensitive CA).
Comparison Note
Permabond 910FS distinguishes itself as the original 100% methyl cyanoacrylate, specifically optimized for superior adhesion to metals. It offers faster setting times and higher temperature resistance compared to many conventional ethyl cyanoacrylates. Its ultra-low, water-like viscosity makes it exceptionally effective for wicking into extremely tight-fitting assemblies where other adhesives might struggle to penetrate.
