PERMABOND TA4605

Main features

  • Primer-Free Polyolefin Bonding
  • Controlled 1 mm Gap Filling
  • Fast Handling-Strength Development

Product Description

Permabond TA4605 is a two-part, 1:1 toughened acrylic adhesive for bonding low-surface-energy plastics, including polypropylene and polyethylene, without primer or surface treatment. The thixotropic system also bonds metals and composites and supports dissimilar-material assemblies. Microparticles control a maximum gap of 1 mm, while a 2 to 4 minute pot life at 23 deg C provides a defined assembly window. Fixture strength develops in 5 to 10 minutes, handling strength in 20 to 25 minutes, and full cure in 24 hours at 23 deg C. Cured shear results include 15 N/mm^2 on HDPE and 6 N/mm^2 on aluminum-to-PE joints.

Key features

  • Primer-Free Polyolefin Bonding: Bonds polypropylene and polyethylene without a separate primer or surface treatment.
  • Controlled 1 mm Gap: Microparticles help maintain the 1 mm maximum gap during assembly.
  • Fast Handling Development: Reaches typical handling strength in 20 to 25 minutes at 23 deg C.

Applications

Applications include bonding polypropylene, polyethylene, metals, composites, and dissimilar-material assemblies.

Pot Life
Pot life is the amount of time it takes for the viscosity of a material to double (or quadruple for lower viscosity materials) in room temperature after a material is mixed. It is closely related to work life but it is not application dependent, less precise and more of a general indication of how fast a system is going to cure.
2-4 minutes
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.
