Product Description
Permabond TA4200 is a standard 1:1 MMA structural adhesive — the all-round industrial adhesive for high-stress bonding applications on metal, composite and plastic.
With a 1:1 mixing ratio and standard processing, TA4200 covers the broad spectrum of industrial structural bonding applications. Its MMA chemistry provides higher impact and peel strength than conventional epoxies.
Standard MMA structural adhesive in a 1:1 ratio — the all-round choice for industrial structural bonding with a balanced pot life and 23–25 N/mm² steel shear strength.

Frequently asked questions about Permabond TA 4200
Practical application and design questions — answered by SILITECH.
Standard structural adhesive MMA 1:1 — 23–25 N/mm² steel, balanced application.
TA series MMA structural adhesives typically operate using a no-mix process: initiator on one surface, adhesive on the other—upon joining, the initiator activates the adhesive. Mixing ratio: 1:1 by volume. Handling strength after 2–10 minutes, final strength after 24 hours at 23 °C.
MMA structural adhesives (methyl methacrylate) offer higher impact and peel strength than classic 2K epoxies — important for dynamically loaded bonds. The no-mix processing with a separate initiator eliminates the pot life limitation. Cure time is typically faster (minutes instead of hours).
Permabond TA 4200 bonds reliably to: Steel: 23–25 N/mm². Substrate failure is common with polycarbonate and PVC (bond stronger than material).
Permabond TA 4200 does not have specific aerospace approvals like TA4246 (Boeing/Airbus). For industrial applications without aerospace requirements, the product is approved according to Permabond standards.
Permabond TA 4200 is a structural adhesive MMA 1:1 — standard industrial bonding (1:1 volume mix). Permabond TA 4202 is a standard 1:1 (1:1) — comparable.
From the Permabond MMA range: Permabond TA 4200 (structural adhesive MMA 1:1 — standard industrial bonding); Permabond TA 4202 (standard 1:1); Permabond TA 4204 (standard 1:1); Permabond TA 4246 (aerospace 10:1). For aerospace premium, see TA 4246 (Boeing and Airbus approved). For highest industrial strength without the aerospace surcharge, see TA 452.
