Product Description:

Devcon® 5 Minute® Epoxy Gel is a thixotropic, non-migrating gel adhesive designed for bonding metal, ceramic, wood, and vertical surfaces where gap-filling is needed. It provides excellent gap-filling properties, making it ideal for structural bonding applications.

With a 1:1 mix ratio, this epoxy has a working time of 4 – 7 minutes at 72°F (23°C) and reaches functional cure in 1.5 hours, achieving full cure in 48 hours​.

This adhesive delivers high strength, good solvent resistance, and impact resistance, making it suitable for demanding industrial applications.


Key Features:

✅ Minimal Surface Preparation: Bonds metals, ceramics, wood, and composites with minimal surface prep.
✅ Non-Sag Gel Formula: Ensures controlled application on vertical and overhead surfaces.
✅ Fast Cure Time: 4 – 7 minutes working time, handling strength in 10 – 15 minutes.
✅ High Strength & Toughness: 2,500 psi shear strength, impact-resistant.
✅ Good Solvent Resistance: Withstands exposure to oils, fuels, and industrial chemicals​.


Recommended Applications:

🔹 Structural Bonding: Suitable for metal, ceramic, and wood applications.
🔹 Automotive & Machinery: Used for mechanical bonding and repairs.
🔹 Vertical & Overhead Applications: Ideal for gap-filling in uneven surfaces​.
