Permabond launches high-strength, fire retardant adhesive

1 min read

Permabond has announced the launch of a new fast-curing, high-strength fire retardant adhesive TA4230, which has been third-party tested to meet UL94-V0 requirements.

It is said to be both tougher and faster-curing than most other fire retardant adhesives on the market. A two-part, 1:1 mix ratio, toughened acrylic adhesive, TA4230 can bond to a wide variety of substrates including metals, plastics, composites and ceramics, among others. In addition to this, it is described as providing an excellent shear strength on many substrates with very little surface preparation.

TA4230 achieves a room temperature handling strength in between 10 and 20 minutes. This results in faster production times, with no need to clamp any bonded substrates for long periods of time before use.

Target applications of this product include:

  • Electric vehicle batteries – potting and sealing around electric cables
  • Cladding – bonding Alucobond and other similar composites for exterior building cladding
  • Vehicles & transportation – potential for bus and train interior composites bonding
  • Shopfitting and construction in public areas
  • Bonding electrical goods

This adhesive is available in dual cartridges and is mixed via a static mixing nozzle to enable accurate application. There is no need to manually weigh or mix this product.
