ET500 Rapid Clear Epoxy Adhesive

Permabond ET500 is an easy-to-use, fast curing, clear, general-purpose epoxy adhesive suitable for a variety of bonding tasks, especially where a water-clear bond-line is preferable.

ET500 offers good bonding to a range of substrates including wood, metal, ceramics and composite materials, as well as some plastics. Its fast cure makes it best suited to smaller component assembly tasks whilst its water-clear, UV-stable clarity makes it an ideal choice where a clear bond-line is required, such as joining clear resin castings, bonding fittings into clear acrylic or electrical component potting where visibility is still required.

ET500 is not particularly thixotropic and so is not suitable for gap filling more than 2mm.

Main Characteristics

Pack Sizes and Dispensing

ET500 is available in 50ml or 400ml pack sizes which can be selected at the top of the page. Both pack sizes use 1:1 ratio cartridges and require a suitable cartridge dispenser gun.

• 50ml packs require our standard 50ml Adhesive Dispenser Gun which is suitable for 1:1 and 2:1 adhesive cartridges
• 400ml packs require a 400ml 1:1 Adhesive Dispenser Gun

The cartridges are intended to be used with static mixer nozzles which fully mix the two components as they pass through the nozzle. They are supplied with one nozzle but once used, adhesive cures in the nozzle and they need to be discarded. Additional nozzles are available to buy separately:

• 50ml packs require a Type 2 Static Mixer Nozzle for 50ml Cartridge
• 400ml packs require a Type 2 Static Mizer Nozzle for 400ml Cartridge
