Permabond ET515 is a two-part, semi-flexible, clear epoxy structural adhesive offering good adhesion to a wide variety of substrates includes wood, metal, ceramics, composites and some plastics.
ET515 is relatively quick curing, reaching handling strength in 20-30minutes. Its semi-flexible property at full cure makes it suitable for use in applications where the bond-line will be subjected to an amount of flexing or movement, including when bonding different materials where different rates of thermal expansion are anticipated.
ET515 is not particularly thixotropic and so is not suitable for gap filling more than 2mm.
Main Characteristics
| Working time | Handling Strength | Working Strength | Full Cure | Hot Strength | Mix Ratio | Gap Fill |

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.
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:
