NEXTITE 580 Impact Resistant, Medium Black Rubber Toughened

NEXTITE 580 is a high performance black rubber toughened instant adhesive designed for superior durability and reliability. Its advanced rubber toughened formulation provides exceptional impact, peel and sheer strength, creating resilient bonds that can withstand demanding conditions and vibrations. The medium viscosity ensures controlled application whilst the slower cure time of 60 – 120 seconds gives users some extra time to position and align components before fixturing. NEXTITE 580 delivers excellent adhesion to a wide variety of materials including plastics, metals and rubbers.

Product Overview

NEXTITE 580 is a rubber toughened instant adhesive designed for applications that require superior durability and flexibility. Its rubber toughened formulation provides exceptional impact resistance and greatly improves the peel and shear strength, ensuring reliable performance even under stress or vibration. The adhesive maintains good elasticity, allowing bonded joints to flex and move without failure, which is especially important when bonding dissimilar materials that expand or contract at different rates. This combination of strength and flexibility makes NEXTITE 580 ideal for assemblies subject to dynamic loads, temperature changes or movement in service.

With a medium viscosity of 100 – 150 CPS at 25°C, NEXTITE 580 offers excellent control during application, reducing mess and ensuring accurate adhesive placement. Its longer fixture time of 60 – 120 seconds depending on material, gives users the ability to position and align parts before the bond sets. This formulation provides gap filling of up to 0.20 mm and can withstand temperatures of up to 100°C (for higher temperature resistance consider NEXTITE 5210 for up to 120°C temperatures). It is ideal for a wide range of applications including bonding plastics, metals and rubbers. NEXTITE 580 is very high strength on close fitting parts.

NEXTITE SP 901 Polyolefin Primer

NEXTITE SP 901 is a surface primer for making polyolefins and other low surface energy surfaces suitable for bonding with NEXTITE Instant Adhesives. It is suitable to prime the notoriously difficult to bond surfaces such as polyethylene, polypropylene and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). NEXTITE SP 901 works well with all of our cyanoacrylate adhesives especially the faster fixture time ones.

NEXTITE CA-1 Cyanoacrylate Activator

NEXTITE CA-1 can be used in conjunction with NEXTITE Cyanoacrylate Adhesives to promote a faster cure and to extend their gap-filling capabilities. Cyanoacrylate Adhesives naturally have limited gap-filling ability, but the use of an activator helps extend this capability by curing the adhesive almost instantly. Using a cyanoacrylate activator it also enables fillets of cured adhesive to be formed if required and can be used to reduce the effects of blooming, which can affect decorative surfaces. CA-1 is particularly effective when bonding porous materials, as the rapid curing prevents the adhesive from soaking in and ensures a stronger more reliable bond.

Applications and Uses

NEXTITE 580 has been designed as a rubber toughened instant adhesive for improved impact resistance, shear and peel strengths. It is ideal for industries and tasks that require a reliable flexible adhesive with fast bonding and high strength. It is perfect for bonding two materials that expand and contract at different rates as it handles the thermal expansion well. It is suitable for jobs that require a longer fixture time to allow for alignment of parts.

Tools and Accessories

The 20g and 50g bottles are specifically designed to work with a variety of nozzles and tips, so users can adapt the application method without the need to transfer the adhesive into another container. The nozzles come in a variety of internal diameters and lengths for all types of applications. They easily press-fit directly onto the tip of the instant adhesive bottle. The benefit of using alternative tips is that it gives users greater control, allowing only a precise amount of adhesive to be dispensed. They also extend the reach of the bottle, making it easier to apply adhesive accurately in tight spaces or detailed applications. 

For NEXTITE 580, we recommend either the 0.6mm or 0.8mm tips or nozzles.

Technical Highlights

Instructions for use

1.     Ensure all bonding surfaces are clean and free of grease. Use NEXTITE PROPREP or ACRI-BOND CLEANER (for delicate materials) and allow the surfaces to dry completely.

2.     For low surface energy plastics, apply NEXTITE SP 901 Primer to the bonding area. Use sparingly and avoid excess application. Let the primer dry fully. Do not use primer on plastics that are not low surface energy.

3.     If required, NEXTITE CA-1 Activator can be applied. Apply to one bonding surface only. If a primer has been used, do not apply activator to the same area. Allow the activator to dry before proceeding.

4.     Dispense adhesive onto one surface only (never on the surface treated with activator). Assemble the components quickly, as the rapid fixture time provides little chance for repositioning.

5.     To cure excess adhesive or fillets outside the bond line, apply NEXTITE CA-1 Activator by spraying or dropping directly onto the exposed adhesive.

6.     Keep the parts fixed or clamped in position until the adhesive has achieved fixture.

7.     Allow the bond to reach full strength before applying service loads, which typically occurs after 24 to 72 hours depending on the bond line, substrates and environmental conditions.
