Available from Henkel, Loctite 3090
is a new two-part cyanoacrylate that
increases the versatility of instant
adhesives. In addition to benefits
such as an initial bond in seconds,
clear bondline, high strength and
easy dispensing, it allows any exposed
adhesive remaining outside the joint
to harden within 2 to 4min, removing
the need for a post-assembly activator.

The new adhesive will bond close
fitting parts in 20s – even where the
gap is 3mm – and bonding is
achieved in less than 90s. It can also
be used where a more significant gap
(up to 5mm) is involved.

Easy to apply, Loctite 3090 can be
used on a variety of substrates and is
capable of withstanding a force of
some 20N/mm2.
