Product Description
Permabond UV605 is a low-viscosity, high-strength UV-curing adhesive for glass and crystal — designed for high-quality bonding with wicking capability, optical clarity and resistance to yellowing.
With a viscosity of 50–100 mPa·s, UV605 is ultra-low viscosity and flows by capillary action into tightly toleranced glass gaps—even after the components have been assembled. Curing occurs under UV light in 5 seconds with a 4 mW low-power lamp or in just 1 second under a 30 W/cm² light guide system.
The optical clarity, resistance to yellowing and elongation at break of 90% make UV605 the choice for aesthetically demanding glass and crystal bonding applications — furniture making, glass art, shop window displays.
Low-viscosity, high-strength wicking UV adhesive for glass and crystal — its capillary action allows application even after the components have been joined. Excellent optical clarity and resistance to yellowing for high-quality glass bonding.

Frequently asked questions about Permabond UV605
Practical application and design questions — answered by SILITECH.
Permabond UV605 is a methacrylic acid ester (UV-curing) adhesive with a viscosity of 50–100 mPa·s @ 20 rpm. This low-viscosity, wicking-capable UV adhesive for glass and crystal offers the highest optical clarity. The adhesive cures upon irradiation with UV light in the spectral range of 365–400 nm—curing in seconds, "on demand.".
Permabond UV605 cures in the spectral range of 365–400 nm. Standard mercury vapor UV lamps, LED UV lamps with a suitable wavelength, or UV light guide systems are all suitable. For LED lamps, the maximum wavelength of the LED must be matched to the curing spectrum of the adhesive—we are happy to advise you on selecting the right lamp.
Permabond UV605 typically cures in: 5 s with a 4 mW/cm² low-power lamp; 2 s with a 100 mW/cm² LED lamp; 1 s with a 30 W/cm² UV light guide system. The exact curing time depends on the layer thickness and the light transmittance of the components.
Permabond UV605 bonds reliably to glass/steel: 10–14 N/mm². For thermoplastic substrates, we recommend testing compatibility before series production — release agents on injection-molded parts can impair adhesion.
Permabond UV605 is a low-viscosity (wicking) glass/metal adhesive (50–100 mPa·s @ 20 rpm viscosity, 90% elongation at break). Permabond UV610 is a high-strength (600–1,300 mPa·s, 95% elongation at break) glass furniture adhesive — medium viscosity, higher strength.
When stored at 5 to 25 °C and protected from light, Permabond UV605 is stable until the printed expiration date. IMPORTANT: UV adhesives cure upon contact with light — always store the bottle in the dark and only open it briefly under UV-blocked light. Daylight-stable variants (e.g., UV675) can be used briefly under ambient light.
From the Permabond UV range, select according to substrate, viscosity, and special properties: Permabond UV605 (low-viscosity glass/metal adhesive (wicking)); Permabond UV610 (high-strength glass furniture); Permabond UV620 (optically clear); Permabond UV632 (urethane plastic). For shaded areas (where UV light does not fully reach the adhesive gap), a dual-cure variant such as Permabond UV7141 (UV + anaerobic) should be used.
