Proper Adhesive Storage Means Greater Profits

Over the lifetime of an application, you can significantly reduce your adhesive waste by paying close attention to the adhesive storage conditions recommended by Permabond. Because of the various chemistries involved in the adhesives that Permabond manufactures, we have developed specific storage condition recommendations by product.
Review these recommendations prior to selecting an adhesive for your application, and follow them whenever possible. The shelf life of each Permabond adhesive is based on our experience with that product under controlled conditions.
Therefore, we are certain that these adhesives, when stored per our guidelines, will maintain their performance over the course of the shelf life given. Unfortunately, if you have not stored the adhesive according to these recommendations, we often cannot give reliable information about its performance.

Adhesive Shelf Life

A product’s shelf life is the length of time it can be stored under specified conditions without significant changes to its properties. Since these conditions ensure not only a long life, but also the best product performance, we recommend storing each adhesive under the conditions specified for it. Extreme temperatures, light exposure and humidity can affect the performance of many adhesives.

Permabond advises storing each adhesive type within the temperatures indicated below. However, please note that the shelf life and storage temperature may vary based on the package size. Therefore, use the following information as a guide only.

Permabond Cyanoacrylates

For maximum shelf life of Permabond cyanoacrylate adhesives, store unopened cyanoacrylate at 2°C (35°F) to 7°C (45°F). Bring unopened cyanoacrylate products to ambient temperature before opening the package. Once opened, leave the package at ambient temperature. Storage below 2°C (36°F) or greater than 8°C (46°F) can adversely affect product properties.
