LOCTITE EA 460

Main features

  • Low-Odor Low-Bloom Bonding
  • Low-Viscosity Precision Application
  • Rapid Multi-Substrate Fixture

Product Description

LOCTITE 460 is a one-part, low-viscosity alkoxyethyl cyanoacrylate adhesive for rapid bonding of metals, plastics and elastomers. The transparent, colorless-to-straw liquid cures with atmospheric humidity and has a typical cone-and-plate viscosity of 25 to 55 mPa s at 25 deg C. Low odor and low blooming are useful where vapor control is difficult, while fixture develops in less than 5 seconds on several substrates under the stated 22 deg C and 50% relative-humidity conditions. Applications include bonding ABS, PVC, polycarbonate, rubber, wood, paper, leather and fabric.

Key features

  • Low odor and bloom: The alkoxyethyl cyanoacrylate formulation limits odor and visible blooming where vapor control is difficult.
  • Low-viscosity application: Typical cone-and-plate viscosity is 25 to 55 mPa s at 25 deg C.
  • Rapid substrate fixture: Fixture develops in less than 5 seconds on ABS, nitrile rubber, neoprene, phenolic and paper under the stated conditions.

Applications

Applications include rapid bonding of metals, plastics and elastomers, plus porous or absorbent materials such as 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
