ET500 Non-Yellowing Two-Part Epoxy, Clear
Permabond® ET500 is a two-part fast-setting epoxy adhesive that bonds to a wide variety of substrates such as wood, metal, ceramics, and some plastics and composites. It cures rapidly at room temperature to give handling strength in approximately 5 minutes. This product is ideal for general-purpose bonding. It is typically used for small component assembly and is suitable for applications that require a clear bond line.
- Adhesion to a wide variety of substrates
- Full cure at room temperature
- Easy to apply
- Fast setting
*Static mixer included with the 400mL Cartridge
