Structural Epoxy Adhesives for Stainless Steel & Multi-Material Bonding

Structural epoxy adhesives are designed for tough, demanding jobs where strength and durability really matter. These two-part systems mix a resin and hardener to create a solid, permanent bond that can handle heavy loads and harsh conditions. Epoxy adhesives work on metals, composites, plastics, and wood, and are especially useful for joining different materials together. You’ll find them in everything from automotive and aerospace work to industrial equipment and construction.

On top of their strength, structural epoxies stand up well to water, chemicals, and extreme temperatures, making them a reliable choice for long-term use. They can also be formulated for different needs, whether it’s extra impact resistance, a quicker cure, or better peel strength. That means there’s a structural epoxy option to match just about any application.

Structural epoxy adhesives for high-strength, tarnish-free bonding

Available in convenient 1:1 dual cartridges, our structural epoxy adhesive options mixe via a static mixer nozzle and cure at room temperature. You can also apply heat to speed up the cure time. Structural epoxy adhesives offer excellent bond strength on stainless steel, composites, plastics, wood and other metals.

• Permabond ET5390 is a general purpose stainless steel bonder.
• Permabond ET5392 is ideal for applications where there could be high peel stress or impact forces on the joint, due to its toughened nature
• Permabond ET5393 is fully toughened and also offers excellent peel strength and fast cure.

Structural epoxy vs welding: 6 advantages of adhesives

1. Better stress distribution through the joint (welding concentrates stress into a small area)
2. Improved, tarnish-free finished appearance
3. 100% seal against moisture
4. No need for a skilled welder, offering cost savings as a result
5. No hazardous gas cylinders and fire safety hazards associated with welding, also offering cost savings and health and safety benefits
6. Finally, they are ideal for use in ATEX explosion-proof areas where welding is not allowed

The ET539X range of structural epoxy adhesives offer excellent resistance to harsh environments and are highly resistant to water, temperature extremes and chemicals. They are ideal for sealing tanks and pressure vessels or for bonding stainless steel cabinets, enclosures and machinery housing.
