  • Up to 9.5 mm Gap Filling

Product Description

LOCTITE® AA H3101™ is a two-component, room-temperature curing methacrylate structural adhesive designed for high-strength bonding of metals, plastics, composites and other engineering substrates. Featuring a 1:1 mix ratio and highly thixotropic non-sag consistency, the adhesive develops handling strength within approximately 20 to 25 minutes and provides durable bonds with excellent environmental resistance, impact strength and peel performance. The product is capable of filling gaps up to 9.5 mm and maintains mechanical integrity across a broad temperature range, making it suitable for industrial assembly, fabrication and composite bonding applications.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Two-component methacrylate structural adhesive system.
  • Convenient 1:1 mix ratio for dispensing and processing.
  • Fast fixture time of approximately 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Excellent environmental resistance after cure.
  • Superior impact and peel strength performance.
  • Highly thixotropic, non-sag formulation.
  • Gap-filling capability up to 9.5 mm.
  • Suitable for bonding metals, composites and many plastics with minimal surface preparation.

Recommended Applications

  • Structural bonding of metals and composites.
  • Industrial equipment and fabricated assemblies.
  • Fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) bonding.
  • Plastic-to-metal and plastic-to-plastic assemblies.
  • Gap-filling structural joints requiring toughness and peel resistance.

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
