Permabond CA007120016Z0101 712 Water-Resistant Cyanoacrylate Adhesive, 1lb Bottle
Permabond CA007120016Z0101 712 Water-Resistant Cyanoacrylate Adhesive, 1lb Bottle
Permabond 712 is a water-resistant cyanoacrylate (instant adhesive) formulated for bonding applications where moisture exposure is a concern. The 1lb (454g) bottle is the high-volume format for production environments requiring frequent application. It delivers fast fixture times on 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 production lines.
Sold individually (1lb / 454g bottle).

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 ("blooming") when exposed to moisture, while 712 maintains bond integrity and clarity in these conditions.
When should I choose the 1lb bottle over the 1oz bottle?
The 1lb (454g) bottle is the production-volume format, ideal for high-frequency dispensing operations, automated dispensing equipment, or facilities that go through significant quantities of adhesive. The 1oz bottle (sold in cases of 10) is better suited for bench-level assembly, prototyping, or applications where smaller quantities are preferred to minimize waste from moisture exposure after opening.
What substrates does Permabond 712 bond?
Permabond 712 bonds 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 for optimal bond strength.
How should the 1lb bottle be stored to maximize shelf life?
Store the 1lb bottle in a cool, dry location away from moisture and direct sunlight, ideally refrigerated at 35–50°F (2–10°C) when not in use. Always replace the cap immediately after dispensing to minimize moisture exposure. Properly stored, cyanoacrylate adhesives typically have a shelf life of 12–18 months unopened.
