Permatex Super Glue: Precision Bonding Built for the Shop
When it comes to reliable, fast-setting adhesives for automotive applications, few names carry as much credibility as Permatex. Trusted by professionals since 1909, Permatex has built its reputation on chemical solutions engineered specifically to meet the demands of the garage, the racetrack, and everything in between. Their lineup of super glue products brings that same professional-grade philosophy to instant adhesive technology.
What Sets Permatex Super Glue Apart
Permatex Super Glue is a one-component, solventless, instant adhesive based on cyanoacrylate resin — the same core chemistry found in premium industrial adhesives, refined for automotive use. Unlike generic consumer super glues, Permatex formulates its cyanoacrylates to meet the specific demands of vehicle repair environments, where vibration, heat cycling, and exposure to automotive fluids can put ordinary adhesives to the test.
The standard Permatex Super Glue is fast-setting and cures at room temperature with no mixing required, forming a permanent, transparent bond that fills gaps up to .004". It is non-flammable and ready to use straight from the package, making it a go-to for quick, confident repairs.
Permatex Ultra Bond Super Glue
For more demanding applications, Permatex offers the Ultra Bond Super Glue — a premium, faster-acting cyanoacrylate designed to provide a stronger, longer-lasting bond and work on a broader range of materials than regular super glues. The Ultra Bond formula is designed to meet the most demanding automotive adhesive needs, bonding both porous and non-porous materials including metal, plastics, laminated plastics, vinyl, rubber, ceramics, paper, wood, textiles, leather, synthetic leather, cork, and chipboard. It sets in seconds to form a strong, transparent bond.
Permatex Super Glue Gel
When working on vertical, overhead, or hard-to-reach surfaces, the Permatex Super Glue Gel is the right tool for the job. Its no-drip formula "stays put" during application, giving technicians and DIYers precise control exactly where they need it — without the risk of runoff onto adjacent surfaces.
