How to Bond Nylon

Permabond TA4550 is a nylon bonding adhesive that also bonds plastics, metals, and glass.
Permabond TA4550 forms high-strength bonds to nylon, other plastics, composites, and metals. It is a two-part, 2:1, low-odor, high viscosity, thixotropic structural acrylic adhesive.
TA4550 requires no surface primers or additional surface treatment before bonding, facilitating high-speed production and efficiency. This high viscosity provides excellent flow control properties for more controlled, accurate dispensing, even in vertical applications.
Extremely high shear and peel strength on nylon and a high level of toughening provide outstanding resistance to impact and vibration.

Key information about TA45500 Nylon Bonder:

• Excellent adhesion to polyamides such as glass-filled nylon, nylon 6, nylon 6,6 and nylon 12
• Bonds nylon to metals, plastics, and composites
• No need for primer or pretreatment – minimal surface preparation required
• Two-component 2:1 acrylic adhesive
• Available in 50ml, 400ml cartridges, or also in bulk
• Full cure at room temperature
• Non-slumping
• Outstanding shear and peel strength
• Toughened, great impact and vibration resistance
• Fast room temperature cure
• Easy to apply
• Non-flammable easy to store and transport

In fact, the shear strength data listed below shows that the nylon fails before the bond in most applications.

PA6: >6 N/mm² (>870 psi) Substrate Failure
PA6,6: >6 N/mm² (>870 psi) Substrate Failure
PMMA: >4 N/mm² (>580 psi) Substrate Failure
Mild Steel: 24-28 N/mm² (3481-4062)
Aluminium: 24-28 N/mm² (3481-4062)
