Permabond ET00503K400C0101, ET503 Fast Curing Epoxy, 400ml Kit, Case of 6
Permabond ET00503K400C0101, ET503 Fast Curing Epoxy, 400ml Kit, Case of 6
Permabond ET503 is a two-part, fast-curing epoxy adhesive that delivers high-strength structural bonds on metals, composites, ceramics, glass, and most rigid plastics. The 400ml dual-cartridge kit is the high-volume production format, ideal for larger bonding applications, automated dispensing systems, and facilities requiring greater adhesive volume per application. Its rapid room-temperature cure and excellent chemical and environmental resistance make it a reliable choice for demanding industrial structural bonding.
Sold in cases of 6 x 400ml dual-cartridge kits.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should I choose the 400ml kit over the 50ml kit?
The 400ml kit (case of 6) is designed for high-volume production applications, larger bond areas, and automated dispensing systems where a 50ml cartridge would be exhausted too quickly. It reduces cartridge changeover frequency and per-unit adhesive cost. The 50ml kit (case of 25) is better suited for bench-level assembly, smaller bond areas, or applications where multiple adhesive grades are used and smaller quantities minimize waste.
How fast does Permabond ET503 cure?
ET503 achieves handling strength in minutes at room temperature, with full cure within hours depending on temperature and bond line thickness. Higher ambient temperatures accelerate cure; lower temperatures slow it. Ensure substrates and adhesive are at room temperature (70°F / 21°C) or above for optimal cure speed.
What substrates does Permabond ET503 bond?
ET503 bonds metals (steel, aluminum, copper, brass), composites, ceramics, glass, and most rigid plastics. Surfaces should be clean, dry, and free of oils, oxides, and contaminants before bonding. Light abrasion of metal surfaces is recommended for maximum bond strength.
What dispensing equipment is needed for the 400ml cartridge?
The 400ml dual-cartridge kit requires a compatible 400ml epoxy dispensing gun and static mixing nozzles sized for the cartridge. Always purge a small amount of adhesive before applying the mixing nozzle to ensure both components are flowing evenly, and use a fresh nozzle for each application session to prevent curing in the nozzle tip.
