Loctite 406 Instant Adhesive

LOCTITE 406 is a 1-part, fast curing cyanoacrylate adhesive. It is designed for the bonding of plastics and elastomeric materials. This product can also be used on difficult-to-bond plastics, in combination with LOCTITE primers for cyanoacrylates.

LOCTITE 406 has exceptionally low viscosity. Full adhesive strength is developed in a very short time. However, curing continues for at least 24 hours, before full chemical resistance is developed. Width of the bondline gap and ambient humidity both affect curing speed.

• Rapid bonding of plastic and rubber, including EPDM
• Speed: attaches components in seconds
• high strength
• Exceptionally low viscosity

How to use Loctite 406:

1. Clean surfaces before applying the product.
2. To improve bonding on low energy plastic surfaces, LOCTITE 770 primer may be applied. Allow the primer to dry.
3. LOCTITE activator may be used if necessary. Apply it to one bond surface. Do not apply activator to a primed surface. Allow the activator to dry.
4. Apply LOCTITE 406 to one of the bond surfaces. Do not apply on the activated surface. Do not spread the adhesive with a tissue or brush.
5. Assemble components carefully. The short fixture time leaves little opportunity for adjustment.
6. Hold together or clamp bonds until the adhesive has fixtured.
7. Allow product to develop full strength before subjecting to any service loads. This will usually take between 24 and 72 hours.

Storage

Store LOCTITE 406 in the unopened container in a dry location. Optimal Storage: 2° C to 8° C. Storage below 2° C or greater than 8° C can adversely affect product properties.

Material removed from containers may be contaminated during use. Do not return product to the original container.
