Product Description
Permabond ES550 is a standard 1K heat-curing epoxy adhesive — an all-round industrial product with a heat-cure process that requires no mixing.
One-component epoxies are processed directly without mixing—the adhesive remains liquid until it is cured in a heat-cure oven or with heating devices. Advantages: no pot life limitation, no mixing errors, uniform distribution in the bonding gap.
ES550 is the standard 1K epoxy of the Permabond ES series — all-round application in industrial plants with heat-cure infrastructure (ovens, induction heating, hot air blowers).
Standard 1K epoxy adhesive for heat curing — no mixing required, no pot life limitation. Industrial all-round bonding with heat curing infrastructure.

Frequently asked questions about Permabond ES550
Practical application and design questions — answered by SILITECH.
Standard 1K epoxy adhesive — heat-curing for industrial bonding without pot life. 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 ES550 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 ES550 (standard 1K epoxy — heat curing); Permabond ES558 (standard 1K); Permabond ES578 (UL94-V0); Permabond ES566 (high temperature). For UL94-V0 fire protection, see ES578; for high temperature, see ES566/ES569; for IR/hot air curing (without an industrial oven), see ES5691.
