LOCTITE HY4080

Main features

  • Equal-Volume Hybrid Mixing
  • 10-Minute Fixture on Metals
  • Tough Peel and Impact Performance

Product Description

LOCTITE HY 4080 is a two-component cyanoacrylate/acrylic hybrid structural adhesive for metals, composites and plastics. Clear-to-slightly-hazy Part A and white-to-off-white Part B mix at 1:1 by volume to form an opaque, slightly yellow adhesive. The high, thixotropic formulation has a 10 minute open time at 25 deg C and typically fixtures in 10 minutes on 0.05 mm gaps in grit-blasted mild steel or aluminum. After one week at 22 deg C, the cured adhesive reaches Shore D 72 hardness and 80% elongation at break, with peel, impact and lap-shear performance on specified substrates.

Key features

  • 1:1 cartridge mixing: Equal-volume components support dispensing through a supplied mixer head.
  • 10-minute fixture time: The adhesive typically fixtures in 10 minutes on 0.05 mm steel or aluminum gaps.
  • Tough cured response: The cured hybrid provides peel, impact and shear performance on the stated substrates.

Applications

Applications include structural bonding of metals, composites and plastics where a high-viscosity hybrid adhesive is specified.

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.

Mechanical Properties
Elongation
Elongation is the process of lengthening something. It is a percentage that measures the initial, unstressed, length compared to the length of the material right before it breaks. It is commonly referred to as Ultimate Elongation or Tensile Elongation at break.

Thermal Properties
Glass Transition Temperature (Tg)
The glass transition temperature for organic adhesives is a temperature region where the polymers change from glassy and brittle to soft and rubbery. Increasing the temperature further continues the softening process as the viscosity drops too. Temperatures between the glass transition temperature and below the decomposition point of the adhesive are the best region for bonding. The glass-transition temperature Tg of a material characterizes the range of temperatures over which this glass transition occurs.
48 to 76 °C
