ABLESTIK 2332-17U

Main features

  • Solvent-Free Bonding Formulation
  • 90-Minute 100 deg C Cure
  • 24 N/mm^2 Aluminum Lap Shear

Product Description

LOCTITE® ABLESTIK 2332-17U is a one-component, solvent-free epoxy adhesive developed for assembly bonding across copper, aluminum, nickel, fiber-reinforced plastic, rigid plastics, and oily steel. The black, slightly thixotropic material provides a typical viscosity of 100,000 mPa·s at 25°C and is formulated to develop high bond strength with heat cure at temperatures from 100°C. Guideline cure options include 90 minutes at 100°C, 30 minutes or 1 hour at 120°C, and 20 minutes at 150°C. Typical cured performance includes a minimum Shore D hardness of 75 and aluminum-to-aluminum tensile lap shear strength of 24 N/mm² at 25°C.

Key features

  • Broad substrate capability: Documented for bonding copper, aluminum, nickel, fiber-reinforced plastic, rigid plastics, and oily steel.
  • One-component, solvent-free formulation: Eliminates component mixing while providing slightly thixotropic handling.
  • Low-temperature heat cure: Guideline cure schedules begin at 90 minutes at 100°C, with faster options at higher temperatures.

Applications / Suitable for

  • General assembly bonding
  • Bonding copper, aluminum, and nickel
  • Bonding fiber-reinforced plastic and rigid plastics
  • Bonding oily steel under validated application conditions

Specific Gravity
Specific gravity (SG) is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance; equivalently, it is the ratio of the mass of a substance to the mass of a reference substance for the same given volume. For liquids, the reference substance is almost always water (1), while for gases, it is air (1.18) at room temperature. Specific gravity is unitless.

Physical Properties
Viscosity
Viscosity is a measurement of a fluid’s resistance to flow. Viscosity is commonly measured in centiPoise (cP). One cP is defined as the viscosity of water and all other viscosities are derived from this base. MPa is another common unit with a 1:1 conversion to cP. A product like honey would have a much higher viscosity -around 10,000 cPs- compared to water. As a result, honey would flow much slower out of a tipped glass than water would. The viscosity of a material can be decreased with an increase in temperature in order to better suit an application
