Pacer E-5 Ultra-Low Viscosity Cyanoacrylate Adhesive – 5 Gram (0.17 oz) Bottle

This 5 gram (0.17 oz) bottle of Pacer E-5 is the smallest package in the current E Series, and E-5 is the only grade offered this small. It holds the same water-thin 2 to 10 cP ethyl cyanoacrylate as the larger bottles, with .002 in gap capability, and it goes on after the parts are assembled so capillary action pulls it into the seam. The small bottle suits precision and detail work, low-volume repair, and trial quantities where a 20 gram would sit half used until it went off. This size is sold in case quantity.

Package Details

Full physical properties, cured state data, tensile shear numbers by substrate, and the viscosity selector for the whole series are on the main Pacer E-5 product page, or in the Pacer E Series technical data sheet (PDF).

Choosing the 5 Gram

E-5 comes in three sizes. This is the one to pick when the constraint is shelf life rather than volume.

• A wicking grade gets used a drop at a time. On precision and detail work, 5 grams goes a long way and a bigger bottle sits open losing performance to ambient humidity.
• Pacer’s one year shelf life is stated for unopened material. Buying the size you actually finish is the cheapest way to buy CA.
• Sold in case quantity, so this is the size for a shop putting a bottle at several stations, or for stocking a service fleet, rather than for a single bottle purchase.
• Small bottles are easier to control on a grade this thin. Less in your hand means less chance of flooding a joint you cannot clean.
• If one bottle lasts a station a month or more, this is right. If you’re going through a bottle a week per station, look at the 20 gram. For a line consuming it daily, the 1 lb.
• E-5 is the only grade in the current E Series available in a 5 gram bottle. If you need a thicker viscosity in a small package, call us.

Performance in Production

• Dispenses straight from the bottle. No gun, no mixer, and small enough to keep in a tool tray or a service kit.
• Applied after assembly. Position and clamp the part, touch a drop to the seam, and capillary action pulls it into the joint.
• One free-falling drop covers about one square inch of bond area, so 5 grams covers a real part count on small joints.
• 2700 psi tensile shear on steel, the highest in the E Series, provided the fit-up is close enough for a wicking grade to work.
• At 2 to 10 cP this runs and it migrates. Fixture flat, keep it off threads and cosmetic faces, and mask when the part demands it.
• Keep the tip clean and the cap on. A thin CA bottle that clogs is almost always a bottle that sat open.

Common Applications

• Precision and detail bonding on small assemblies
• Hairline crack repair in plastic and ceramic
• Press-fit and slip-fit part retention
• Service and repair kits, one bottle per station or per truck
• Trial and qualification work before committing to a larger size
• Bench work calling out MIL-A-46050C Type II, Class 1 or A-A-3097 Type II, Class 1

Frequently Asked Questions

How much is in a 5 gram bottle of Pacer E-5?

Net weight is 0.17 oz (5 g). Pacer’s guidance is that one free-falling drop covers roughly one square inch of bond area, and a wicking grade gets used a drop at a time, so a 5 gram bottle covers more joints than the size suggests. Pacer does not publish a drop count per bottle.

Can I buy a single 5 gram bottle of Pacer E-5?

This size is sold in case quantity. If you need one bottle for a trial or a sample before committing, call or email us and we’ll work something out. The 20 gram bottle is also available without a case requirement if a slightly larger package works for you.

Which Pacer E Series grades come in a 5 gram bottle?

Only E-5. The 20 gram is the smallest package currently offered in E-40, E-100, and E-1500. If you need a thicker viscosity in a small quantity, call us and we’ll look at what’s available across the other Pacer series.

Is the 5 gram the same adhesive as the larger bottles?

Yes, identical. Same ethyl cyanoacrylate, same 2 to 10 cP viscosity, same .002 in gap capability, same MIL-A-46050C Type II, Class 1 and A-A-3097 Type II, Class 1 compliance. Only the container and the order quantity change.

Does Pacer E-5 need to be refrigerated?

Pacer recommends refrigerating unopened bottles at 40F (4C) for optimum results, then letting the adhesive come up to room temperature before opening. Opening a cold bottle draws condensation into the material. Once opened, store in a cool, dry location. Stored that way, expect a one year shelf life.

What is the part number for the 5 gram Pacer E-5?

Our SKU is PAC-FG01015. The Pacer part number is FG01015 and the UPC is 0 87093 00202 9. On older Pacer paperwork the same item shows as Pacer item number 11740008.
