Product Description

PERMABOND® 108 Cyanoacrylate Adhesive is a single-component, intermediate-viscosity ethyl cyanoacrylate adhesive for bonding through small to intermediate gaps. Its 400–600 mPa·s viscosity supports controlled application and automated dispensing while retaining fast fixture performance. Typical handling strength is reached in approximately 10 seconds on steel, Buna N rubber, and phenolic, with full strength developing in 24 hours. The adhesive bonds plastics, rubber, and metals and provides a maximum recommended gap fill of 0.25 mm. After cure, it delivers high shear strength on steel and selected plastics, 85 Shore D hardness, and useful electrical insulation properties for industrial assembly.

Key features

  • Intermediate viscosity: A viscosity of 400–600 mPa·s supports controlled dispensing and bonding across gaps up to 0.25 mm.
  • Fast fixture performance: Typical handling strength is reached in approximately 10 seconds on steel, Buna N rubber, and phenolic.
  • Multi-material bonding: Documented performance covers steel, ABS, PVC, and polycarbonate, with general suitability for plastics, rubber, and metals.

Applications / Suitable for

  • Automated adhesive dispensing
  • Bonding parts with small to intermediate gaps
  • High-speed industrial assembly
  • Bonding plastics, rubber, and metals

Specific Gravity
Specific gravity (SG) is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance; equivalently, it is the ratio of the mass of a substance to the mass of a reference substance for the same given volume. For liquids, the reference substance is almost always water (1), while for gases, it is air (1.18) at room temperature. Specific gravity is unitless.

Physical Properties
Viscosity
Viscosity is a measurement of a fluid’s resistance to flow. Viscosity is commonly measured in centiPoise (cP). One cP is defined as the viscosity of water and all other viscosities are derived from this base. MPa is another common unit with a 1:1 conversion to cP. A product like honey would have a much higher viscosity -around 10,000 cPs- compared to water. As a result, honey would flow much slower out of a tipped glass than water would. The viscosity of a material can be decreased with an increase in temperature in order to better suit an application

Thermal Properties
Thermal Conductivity
Thermal conductivity describes the ability of a material to conduct heat. It is required by power packages in order to dissipate heat and maintain stable electrical performance. Thermal conductivity units are [W/(m K)] in the SI system and [Btu/(hr ft °F)] in the Imperial system.

Electrical Properties
Dielectric Strength
Dielectric strength is measured in kV per mm and is calculated by the Breakdown voltage divided by the thickness of the tested material. Those two properties go hand in hand and while Breakdown voltage is always thickness dependent, dielectric strength is a general material property. As an example, the dielectric strength of Polyimide is 236 kV/mm. If we place 1mm of Polyimide between two electrodes, it will act as an insulator until the voltage between the electrodes reaches 236 kV. At this point it will start acting as a good conductor, causing sparks, potential punctures and current flow.
