Permabond 712 Water-Resistant Cyanoacrylate Adhesive, 1oz Bottle, Case of 10
Permabond 712 Water-Resistant Cyanoacrylate Adhesive, 1oz Bottle, Case of 10
Permabond 712 is a water-resistant cyanoacrylate (instant adhesive) formulated for bonding applications where moisture exposure is a concern. It delivers fast fixture times on a wide range of substrates including metals, plastics, rubber, and ceramics, with enhanced resistance to water and humidity compared to standard cyanoacrylates. Ideal for electronics assembly, medical device manufacturing, automotive, and industrial applications where a reliable, fast-curing bond is required in humid or wet environments.
Sold in cases of 10 x 1oz (28g) bottles.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Permabond 712 different from standard cyanoacrylate adhesives?
Permabond 712 is specifically formulated for water and humidity resistance, making it suitable for applications where the bond will be exposed to moisture, condensation, or humid environments. Standard cyanoacrylates can degrade or whiten (a phenomenon called "blooming") when exposed to moisture, while 712 maintains bond integrity and clarity in these conditions.
What substrates does Permabond 712 bond?
Permabond 712 bonds a wide range of substrates including metals (steel, aluminum, copper), most plastics (ABS, acrylic, polycarbonate), rubber, ceramics, leather, and wood. For difficult-to-bond plastics such as polyethylene, polypropylene, or PTFE, a surface activator or primer is recommended to achieve optimal bond strength.
How fast does Permabond 712 cure?
Permabond 712 achieves fixture (handling strength) in as little as 5–60 seconds depending on the substrate, gap, and humidity level. Full cure typically occurs within 24 hours. Higher humidity and slightly acidic surfaces (such as skin or leather) accelerate cure, while very dry conditions or alkaline surfaces may slow it.
Is Permabond 712 suitable for electronics assembly?
Yes. Permabond 712 is widely used in electronics assembly for bonding components, securing wires, and attaching labels or housings. Its water resistance makes it particularly suitable for electronics that will be exposed to humidity or condensation. Always verify compatibility with specific substrates and confirm the adhesive meets your application’s temperature and chemical resistance requirements.
