Country: United Kingdom · Model: ET5428 / ET5429 / ET514 / ET536 / ET538 / ET540 / ET5401 / ET500–ET515

The two-component ET series epoxy adhesives cure without heating and bond metals, composites, ceramics, wood and many plastics. Pot life ranges from 5 minutes to 16 hours, and shear strength reaches 38 MPa. The ET5428 and ET5429 are intended for carbon-fiber and fiberglass.

For composites: ET5428 (white/black), 2:1, pot life 10–20 min, shear 28–34 MPa, peel 150–250 N/25 mm, Tg 50–60 °C; ET5429, open time 6–10 h, 23–28 MPa, peel 230 N/25 mm
Toughened: ET514, 20–30 MPa; ET536, 22–32 MPa; ET538, 25–30 MPa, long pot life
Heat-resistant: ET540, 22–26 MPa; ET5401, 20–30 MPa
Fast: ET500 (clear, 5–8 min), ET503 (toughened, 6 min)

Description

The resin and hardener are mixed, usually in cartridges with a static mixer, and the joint is strong, rigid or flexible, and resistant to chemicals, water and temperature. The ET5428 is a thixotropic 2:1 adhesive with fast cure, pot life 10–20 minutes, working strength after 1 hour at 23 °C, shear 28–34 MPa, peel 150–250 N/25 mm, Tg 50–60 °C. The color is matched to fiberglass, and there is also a black version for carbon-fiber. The ET5429 has an open time of 6–10 hours for large assemblies and a peel of 230 N/25 mm. The toughened thixotropic ET514, ET536 and ET538 give 20–32 MPa and fill gaps, and the ET5422 gives 30–38 MPa with a pot life of 16 hours. The heat-resistant ET540 and ET5401 are designed for higher working temperatures. The fast ET500 (clear, "five-minute") and ET503 are useful for repair, and the flexible ET510 and ET515 (8–12 MPa) are intended for impact and vibration. Special approvals are held by the ET5143, ET5145, ET5147 (food-grade, FDA), ET5365 (WRAS) and the ET5392 and ET5393 for stainless steel.

How to choose

The choice is determined by pot life and strength. For composites take the ET5428, and for large assemblies with long assembly time the ET5429. For gaps and loads of 20–32 MPa the ET514, ET536, ET538 are suitable, and for hot conditions the ET540 or ET5401. For quick repair there are the ET500 (5–8 min) and ET503 (6 min). When fixture in seconds rather than minutes is needed, see the cyanoacrylate 910, which fixes in about 10 s.
