Product Features & Advantages
Fast 5-Minute Set Time
The adhesive reaches initial bond strength within 5 minutes of mixing, making it suitable for time-sensitive repairs and production line applications where waiting hours for cure is not practical.
High Shear Strength — 1,900 psi
With a shear strength of 1,900 psi and hardness of 85 Shore D, this epoxy forms a rigid, durable bond capable of withstanding mechanical stress in industrial environments.
Multi-Surface Compatibility
Bonds dissimilar substrates including metal-to-wood, glass-to-ceramic, and concrete-to-metal, making it a single adhesive solution for mixed-material assemblies.
Simple 1:1 Mix Ratio
The Dev-Tube packaging dispenses resin and hardener in an equal ratio automatically, eliminating measuring errors and reducing material waste in high-throughput environments.
Wide Temperature Range
Performs reliably from -40°F (-40°C) up to +200°F (+93°C), covering most industrial operating conditions including cold storage facilities and moderate-heat machinery.
Non-Hazardous for Transport
The formulation carries no hazardous shipping classifications, simplifying logistics for international distributors and reducing freight compliance overhead.

Limitations & Considerations
| Consideration | Detail |
|---|
| Short Working Life | 3–6 minute open time requires prepared surfaces and fast application |
| Maximum Temperature | Not recommended above 200°F (93°C) |
| Package Volume | 25 ml Dev-Tube is suited for small to medium repair tasks |
| Bond Flexibility | Rigid cure (85 Shore D) — not recommended for high-vibration or impact-flex joints |
For high-temperature or high-flexibility applications, contact our technical team for alternative product recommendations from our full adhesives range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What surfaces does Devcon 5 Minute Epoxy bond?
A: It bonds ceramic, concrete, glass, metal, and wood. It performs well on dissimilar material pairs such as metal-to-ceramic or glass-to-wood, provided surfaces are clean and dry.
Q: How long before the bond can bear load?
A: Initial handling strength is reached in approximately 5 minutes. Full mechanical cure takes 12 hours at room temperature. Avoid load stress during the first 12 hours for optimal performance.
Q: Can this adhesive be used outdoors or in wet environments?
A: The cured bond resists moisture and moderate environmental exposure. However, for continuous water immersion or outdoor UV exposure, consult our team for a more suitable product grade.
Q: Is bulk or OEM supply available?
A: Yes. E-ASIA supports wholesale orders, OEM packaging, and distributor programs. We offer one-country sole agent arrangements for qualified buyers. Contact us for a custom quote.
Q: What is the shelf life of Devcon 5 Minute Epoxy?
A: Shelf life is typically 24 months from manufacture date when stored in a cool, dry location below 80°F (27°C) and kept sealed prior to use.
