LOCTITE 460

Main features

  • Low-Odor Low-Blooming Cure
  • Very Fast Porous-Substrate Fixturing
  • Low-Viscosity Vapor-Controlled Bonding

Product Description

LOCTITE 460 is a transparent, low-viscosity alkoxyethyl cyanoacrylate instant adhesive with low-odor and low-blooming characteristics. The one-part liquid bonds metals, plastics, elastomers, and porous or absorbent materials and is particularly relevant where vapor control is difficult. A viscosity of 25 to 55 mPa s supports rapid wetting and thin bondlines. Fixture time can be under 5 seconds on ABS, nitrile rubber, neoprene, phenolic, or paper, with longer times on some metals and plastics. Full chemical and solvent resistance develops after at least 24 hours.

Key features

  • Low-odor low-blooming cure: The alkoxyethyl cyanoacrylate chemistry limits odor and visible blooming where vapor control is difficult.
  • Rapid porous-material fixture: Paper and several other tested substrates fixture in less than 5 seconds under documented conditions.
  • Low-viscosity thin-gap flow: A 25 to 55 mPa s viscosity supports fast wetting of close-fitting assemblies.

Applications / Suitable for

  • Bonding where odor and blooming control are important
  • Rapid assembly of metals, plastics, and elastomers
  • Bonding wood, paper, leather, and fabric

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
