Product Description

Permabond A126 is a high-strength anaerobic wicking adhesive for the permanent bonding and sealing of threaded parts and coaxial connections — the ultra-low viscosity allows bonding in tight tolerance fits without disassembly.

With a flow rate of 10–30 mPa·s, A126 is highly mobile and flows through capillary action into micro-gaps down to 0.05 mm — both between internal and external threads and into coaxial fits such as shaft-hub connections or bearing seats. Curing takes place in the absence of air and in contact with the metal.

The universal wicking application makes A126 the first choice for post-assembly bonding of already mounted components — securing vibration-loose screws, fixing loose bearing fits, or making repairs without complete disassembly. The breakaway torque of 14 N·m and the high holding torque of 34 N·m provide a permanently high-strength bond.

SPECIAL FEATURE

Universal wicking adhesive for the permanent bonding and sealing of threaded parts and coaxial connections — the ultra-low viscosity of 10–30 mPa·s allows for the subsequent securing of already assembled components by capillary penetration into micro-gaps.

What distinguishes Permabond A126

Wicking for thread + shaft-hub
Universal application — penetrates both screw threads and coaxial fits.
Ultra-low viscosity
10–30 mPa·s — migrates into micro-gap, completely penetrates adhesive gaps.
High-strength bond
14 N·m breakaway resistance, 34 N·m further resistance — strong vibration resistance.
Fast curing
Handling strength after 15 minutes.
Tight tolerances
0.05 mm gap filling — micro gaps and precision threads.
Subsequent application possible
Secure already assembled components without disassembly.

What is Permabond A126 used for?

Retrofitted screw locking
Secure screws that are already installed without loosening them.
Shaft-hub fits
Secure coaxial connections with wicking penetration.
Repair without disassembly
Secure vibration-loosened components in the field.
Precision mechanics
Tightly toleranced threads and fits with a 0.05 mm gap width.
Bearing and bushing bonding
Subsequent fixing of loose fits.

Processing

1
Clean surfaces
Bonding surfaces must be clean, dry, and free of grease. Degrease with Permabond Cleaner A or a solvent (acetone, isopropanol). Rough surfaces (~25 µm) result in higher bond strength than polished ones.
2
Apply adhesive
Apply Permabond A126 directly from the bottle — for through holes, apply a stripe along the thread length; for blind holes, apply a few drops to the bottom. Do not touch the tip to metal surfaces (this will cause premature hardening in the bottle).
3
Joining components
Insert the screws and tighten to the desired torque. For shaft-hub fits, assemble the components before the adhesive begins to cure.
4
Allow to cure
Anaerobic curing begins in the absence of air and upon contact with metal. Handling strength is typically achieved after 15 minutes, functional strength after 1 hour, and full strength after 24 hours at 23 °C.
5
Accelerate curing (optional)
On inactive surfaces (stainless steel, zinc, aluminum) or at low temperatures, Permabond A905 activator can be used — apply to one bonding surface, allow to flash off, then apply adhesive to the other side.

Important Notes

Not suitable for / Important notes
After application, wait several minutes until wicking penetration is complete before subjecting the component to stress. Not for use in contact with oxygen or vapor. Some thermoplastics may be affected.
Storage
Store at 5 to 25 °C. Anaerobic adhesives lose their reactivity upon contact with metal — do not touch the tip of the bottle to metal surfaces, and do not pour adhesive back into the bottle.

Frequently asked questions about Permabond A126

Practical application and design questions — answered by SILITECH.

Permabond A126 is a single-component, anaerobic acrylic adhesive with a viscosity of 10–30 mPa·s and a gap-filling capacity of up to 0.05 mm. This high-strength wicking adhesive is suitable for threaded and coaxial connections and flows into micro-gaps via capillary action. Anaerobic adhesives cure in the absence of air and in contact with metal, making them ideal for tight-tolerance metallic joints.

Anaerobic adhesives like Permabond A126 remain liquid in the bottle (due to contact with air and oxygen) and only begin to harden after bonding under anaerobic conditions and metal-to-metal contact. Curing starts at the metal surface and progresses into the bond gap. The product cures quickly on steel and copper; on stainless steel and zinc, the Permabond A905 activator may be beneficial.

Difficult to remove — Permabond A126 is high-strength (14 N·m breakaway torque). Disassembly typically requires heating the bond to 200 °C or more. Designed for permanent bonding.

Permabond A126 does not have specific industry approvals such as WRAS or KTW (drinking water). For general industrial applications, the product is approved according to Permabond's internal specifications; however, product-specific testing prior to series production is recommended.

Permabond A126 typically achieves handling strength after 15 minutes and functional strength after 1 hour at 23 °C on M10 steel. Final strength is reached after 24 hours. On inactive surfaces (stainless steel, zinc) or at low temperatures, the curing time is extended—Permabond A905 activator accelerates the process.

Permabond A126 is a high-strength wicking adhesive for threads and coaxial joints (10–30 mPa·s viscosity, 0.05 mm gap filling, 14 N·m breakaway torque). Permabond A113 is a medium-strength threadlocker (500 mPa·s, 0.12 mm gap filling, 12 N·m breakaway torque) — apply before assembly. Both belong to the anaerobic Permabond A series.

The choice depends on the application: Permabond A126 (high-strength wicking adhesive for threads and coaxial connections); Permabond A113 (medium threadlocker); Permabond A1062 (wicking + UV shaft-hub); Permabond HM162 (wicking shaft-hub). For inactive surfaces (stainless steel, zinc, aluminum) Permabond A905 activator be used to accelerate curing.
