Permabond TA04550K050C0101, TA4550 50ml, Multi-Purpose Nylon-Bonding Adhesive, Case of 10
Permabond TA04550K050C0101, TA4550 50ml, Multi-Purpose Nylon-Bonding Adhesive, Case of 10
Permabond TA4550 is a two-part, 2:1 ratio toughened acrylic structural adhesive engineered to bond nylon — one of the most challenging low-surface-energy plastics — along with metals, composites, and dissimilar substrate combinations. No surface primers or pre-treatment are required, making it ideal for high-speed production lines. Its thixotropic, non-slumping formula provides excellent flow control for vertical applications, while its toughened chemistry delivers outstanding shear, peel, impact, and vibration resistance post-cure.
Sold in cases of 10 x 50ml cartridge kits.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is nylon so difficult to bond and how does TA4550 solve this?
Nylon has low surface energy and a hydrophobic nature, which prevents most adhesives from properly wetting and keying into the material. Permabond TA4550 uses breakthrough toughened acrylic chemistry that overcomes these challenges without requiring surface primers or plasma treatment — delivering a bond so strong that in testing, the nylon substrate failed before the adhesive bond did.
What is the mix ratio and how is TA4550 dispensed?
TA4550 is a 2:1 ratio two-part adhesive dispensed from a dual-cartridge kit using a standard 2:1 ratio dispensing gun with a static mixing nozzle. The static mixer ensures consistent, accurate mixing at the point of application — no manual mixing required. The thixotropic formula is non-slumping, making it suitable for vertical and overhead applications.
Does TA4550 require surface preparation before bonding nylon?
No. One of TA4550’s key advantages is that it requires no surface primers or additional surface treatment before bonding nylon. Simply ensure surfaces are clean and free of oils, dust, and contaminants. This makes it ideal for high-speed production environments where additional surface prep steps would reduce throughput.
How does TA4550 perform on dissimilar substrates?
TA4550 excels at bonding nylon to dissimilar substrates such as metals, composites, and other plastics. Its high elongation and peel strength accommodate differential thermal expansion and contraction between dissimilar materials, making it particularly suitable for assemblies that will experience temperature cycling or mechanical stress in service.
