Instant health & safety adhesive

Loctite has added to its comprehensive Health and Safety range of nonhazardous engineering adhesives with three hazard-label-free cyanoacrylates, more commonly known as instant adhesives.

Clean and easy to apply, these adhesives are particularly suitable where aesthetics are important and form the Loctite front-line offering for very fast positioning and fixturing of parts. Classified nonirritant, their ability to join a wide variety of dissimilar materials extends to the bonding of porous/acidic substrates such as wood, paper, leather and cork as well as plastics, rubber and metals. The resultant shear and tensile bond strength is said to be excellent even on very small bond faces.

The new Health and Safety instant adhesives are colourless with low bloom and low odour. All have a typical fixture time of 5-20, seconds dependant on the substrates.
