Features & Benefits 

Ultra‐low viscosity 

Suitable for bonding pre‐assembled parts 

Ideal for close‐fitting plastic components 

Description 

PERMABOND 101

 is a low viscosity product useful in 

wicking or penetrating applications or bonding 
closely fitting parts. It is fast setting and suitable for 
use on plastics, rubber and metals. 
 
Cyanoacrylate adhesives are single component 
adhesives that polymerize rapidly when pressed into 
a thin film between parts. The moisture adsorbed on 
the surface initiates the curing of the adhesive. 
Strong bonds are developed extremely fast and on a 
great variety of materials. These properties make 
PERMABOND cyanoacrylates the ideal adhesives for 
high speed production lines.

*Handling times can be affected by temperature, humidity and 
specific surfaces being bonded. Larger gaps or acidic surfaces will 
also reduce cure speed but this can be overcome by the use of 
Permabond C Surface Activator (CSA) or Permabond QFS 16.
