Permabond 102 is a one-component, medium-viscosity cyanoacrylate adhesive based on ethyl cyanoacrylate — the all-rounder for bonding in seconds with benign gap behavior and enough time for clean alignment.
With a viscosity of 70–90 mPa·s and a gap filling capacity of up to 0.15 mm, Permabond 102 tolerates larger tolerances than a Wicking cyanoacrylate — ideal for general bonding applications in metal, plastic and rubber where micro-gap gaps are not critical, but reliable, fast bonding with a little more adjustment time is essential.
One special feature: On ABS, PVC and polycarbonate , Permabond 102 achieves substrate failure — the adhesive seam is stronger than the plastic itself.
Boeing BMS 5-36D Type II Grade 1 for the Boeing aviation specification, plus WRAS Drinking Water Approval (cold water use only) — the British standard for direct contact with cold drinking water. This qualifies Permabond 102 for both aerospace applications and plumbing applications involving contact with cold drinking water.

Frequently asked questions about Permabond 102
Practical application and design questions — answered by SILITECH.
Permabond 102 is a medium-viscosity ethyl cyanoacrylate adhesive (70–90 mPa·s) for general bonding applications with gap filling up to 0.15 mm. It is ideal for standard bonding of metals, plastics, and rubber where a wicking cyanoacrylate would be too low in viscosity. A special feature: On ABS, PVC, and polycarbonate, Permabond 102 achieves substrate failure—the bond is stronger than the plastic itself.
Permabond 102 reliably bonds steel (19–23 N/mm²), aluminum, zinc, ABS, PVC, polycarbonate (all three with substrate failure), phenolic resins, as well as Buna-N rubber and similar elastomers. For polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), PTFE, and silicone, pretreatment with Permabond Polyolefin Primer (POP) is required. For acidic or porous surfaces, Permabond C Surface Activator (CSA) is recommended.
Permabond 102 is approved according to MIL-A-46050C Type II Class 2 for existing designs — the internationally established specification for medium-viscosity cyanoacrylate industrial adhesives. This qualifies Permabond 102 for demanding industrial applications.
Permabond 102 achieves handling strength (0.3 N/mm² shear strength) on steel in 10–15 seconds, on Buna-N rubber in 5–10 seconds, on ABS/PVC in 7–10 seconds, and on phenolic resin in 10–15 seconds. The final strength of 19–23 N/mm² (steel) is reached after 24 hours. Temperature, humidity, and substrate affect the curing rate.
Permabond 102 is a medium viscosity (70–90 mPa·s) with gap filling up to 0.15 mm and a handling strength on steel in 10–15 seconds—the all-purpose choice for standard bonding applications with larger tolerances and slightly longer setup time. Permabond 101, on the other hand, is ultra-low viscosity (2–3 mPa·s) for wicking applications, micro gaps (max. 0.05 mm), and post-bonding of previously joined components, with a handling strength of 3–5 seconds. Choose 102 for general-purpose applications and larger gaps; 101 for tight tolerance fits or capillary penetration.
Permabond 102 should be stored unopened refrigerated at 2 to 7 °C and is stable until the printed expiration date. Allow the bottle to warm to room temperature before opening—this prevents condensation inside, which would reduce its shelf life. Opened bottles remain functional for several months if stored correctly, although the curing rate may decrease over time. We recommend performing a test bond to check reactivity before critical production applications.
For general bonding of metals, plastics, and rubber with larger gaps, Permabond 102 is the right choice (70–90 mPa·s, 0.15 mm). For micro-gaps, wicking applications, and tight tolerance fits, choose Permabond 101 (2–3 mPa·s, max. 0.05 mm). For demanding rubber and plastic bonding with high purity requirements , Permabond 105 is recommended . Universal applications with the highest steel strength are covered by Permabond 910. For polypropylene, polyethylene, PTFE, and silicone, pretreatment with Permabond POP Primer is always required.
