Permabond launches two new products with patents pending; TA4660 nylon bonder and ET5442, a light-weight, thermally conductive, expanding foam adhesive for E-vehicle batteries.
Permabond TA4660 is a two-part structural adhesive for use on difficult filled and unfilled nylon surfaces, with no need for surface pre-treatment or priming! The adhesive cures fully at room temperature to form a high strength joint. During pull tests, it even caused the nylon to break, not the bond!
This versatile adhesive can be used for bonding nylon to itself or to metals such as steel or aluminium. It has good thermal and chemical resistance, making it ideal for use in automotive parts assembly such as sealing nylon battery casings and is also suitable for a wide variety of other applications including bonding sports equipment, electronics, sensors, profiles and composite parts.
Permabond's ET5442 is a two-component adhesive, developed for E-vehicle batteries. When mixed, it forms a light-weight foam structure that fills all voids inside the battery pack. As it expands, the compression creates a highly conductive skin that transfers heat to the cooling plate. The dual structure of the lightweight foam and hard skin in contact with the battery cells, housing, and heat sink, creates a thermal bridge to conduct and dissipate heat. The low-density foam weighs 0.7g/cm³ and offers a thermal conductivity of 0.8 W/m.K. The skin is highly conductive at 2.6 W/m.K. and is the main route for transferring heat away from components.
