Frequently asked questions about Permabond ES5516
Practical application and design questions — answered by SILITECH.
Special 1K epoxy ES5516 for engineering applications. 1K epoxies are processed directly without mixing and cured in a single heat-cure step.
1K epoxies are processed directly from the container without mixing — no pot life limitation, no mixing errors. Disadvantage: heat curing required (industrial oven, IR lamp, or hot air). 2K epoxies cure at room temperature but require precise mixing and have a limited pot life. 1K is suitable for line production with heat-cure infrastructure, 2K for workshops without an oven.
Heat curing. For exact conditions, refer to the Permabond TDS — typically 30 minutes at 150 °C or equivalent heat input (e.g., 60 min @ 120 °C).
1K heat-cure epoxies bond metals (steel, aluminum, copper), composites (CFK, GFK), ceramics, and selected plastics (with heat resistance). Substrates must tolerate the curing temperature (typically 150 °C).
Permabond ES5516 does not have specific industry approvals such as UL94-V0 (see ES578 for the flame-retardant variant). For general industrial applications, the product is approved according to Permabond standards.
At 5 to 25 °C. 1K heat-cure epoxies have limited storage stability — reactivity decreases with higher storage temperature. For long shelf life, store refrigerated. Allow adhesive to warm to room temperature before opening.
From the Permabond 1K epoxy range: Permabond ES5516 (Special 1K epoxy (Engineering)); Permabond ES5744 (Engineering); Permabond ES578 (UL94-V0); Permabond ES550 (Standard 1K). For UL94-V0 fire protection, see ES578; for high temperature, see ES566/ES569; for IR/hot air curing (without an industrial oven), see ES5691.
