Bonds quickly

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.
