Product Description
Permabond ET536 is one of the strongest 2K epoxies in the Permabond range — up to 32 N/mm² steel shear strength combined with a balanced pot life of 50–80 minutes.
With a steel shear strength of 22–32 N/mm², ET536 is among the top performers of 2K epoxies — comparable to ET514 and ET538. The longer pot life allows for precise alignment of complex components before curing.
One of the strongest 2-component epoxies in the Permabond range — up to 32 N/mm² steel shear strength. With a balanced pot life (50–80 min) for complex structural bonding applications with the highest strength requirements.

Frequently asked questions about Permabond ET536
Practical application and design questions — answered by SILITECH.
High-strength standard 2-component epoxy 1:1 — peak value on steel (up to 32 N/mm²). The 2-component epoxy is mixed in a 1:1 volume ratio and offers a pot life of 50–80 minutes @ 23 °C.
Mix both components in a 1:1 ratio by volume — using a mixing nozzle for dual cartridges, weigh precisely for larger containers. Apply within the pot life (50–80 minutes @ 23 °C) and join components. Full curing typically occurs after — at room temperature.
The pot life of Permabond ET536 is typically 50–80 minutes at 23 °C. Higher temperatures shorten, lower temperatures lengthen the pot life. Mixing quantities above approximately 100 g may gel more quickly due to an exothermic reaction.
Permabond ET536 bonds reliably to: steel: 22–32 N/mm²; carbon fiber: 18–22 N/mm². For thermoplastic substrates, test compatibility before series production.
Permabond ET536 does not have specific industry-related approvals such as EU 10/2011 (food), UL94 (fire protection), or Boeing/Airbus (aerospace). For general industrial applications, the product is approved according to Permabond standards.
Permabond ET536 is a high-strength standard 2-component epoxy 1:1 — 22–32 N/mm² steel (1:1 volume mix, 50–80 minutes @ 23 °C pot life). Permabond ET514 is a standard 1:1 (1:1, 30–50 min pot life) — shorter pot life.
From the Permabond 2K epoxy range, select according to application, mixing ratio, and strength requirements: Permabond ET536 (High-strength standard 2K epoxy 1:1 — 22–32 N/mm² steel); Permabond ET514 (Standard 1:1); Permabond ET538 (High-strength, longer pot life); Permabond ET5422 (Premium 100:44). For aerospace applications, see ET515 (Aircraft Seat Trays); for food applications, see ET5162 (EU 10/2011 + FDA); for thermal conductivity/fire protection, see ET5441 (UL94-V0).
