PERMABOND 46

Main features

  • No-Mix Surface Activation
  • Two-Hour Assembly Window
  • Low-Viscosity Controlled Application

Product Description

Permabond Initiator 46 is an amber liquid initiator used as the activation component in compatible Permabond no-mix acrylic bonding systems. It is applied to one surface while the adhesive is applied to the mating surface, allowing the components to be assembled without premixing the two materials. In the TA4246 system, parts should be bonded immediately and within two hours after initiator application. The initiator has an approximate viscosity of 70 mPa s at 23 deg C and a relative density of 0.97. It functions as an initiator and is not a standalone adhesive.

Key features

  • No-Mix Activation: Applied separately from the compatible adhesive to eliminate premixing.
  • Two-Hour Assembly Window: TA4246 components may be bonded within two hours after initiator application.
  • Low-Viscosity Liquid: Approximate viscosity of 70 mPa s at 23 deg C supports thin application.

Applications

Applications include initiation of compatible Permabond no-mix acrylic bonding processes, including TA4246.

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
Flash Point
The flashpoint of a solvent is the lowest possible temperature at which it can vaporize to form an ignitable vapor. Flashpoint is often confused with “autoignition temperature”, which is the temperature at which a solvent ignites without an ignition source.
