Instant adhesives, or cyanoacrylates, cure very quickly when refined between surfaces. They are typically chosen for bonding small to medium-size parts to achieve extremely fast curing. Due to their limited gap-filling capability they require close fitting surfaces. Browse their full range below.
Find the right instant adhesive for your application.
Choose the right instant adhesive according to your needs. General-purpose adhesives are strong and versatile, suitable for various surfaces like metals, wood, and fabric. Toughened adhesives are modified for high shock and impact resistance. Flexible adhesives are ideal for materials that bend or flex.
High-temperature adhesives can withstand temperatures up to 120°C. Low odour/low bloom adhesives are suitable for cosmetic applications with minimal smell and appearance. High gap fill adhesives fill gaps up to 0.15 mm, with fast curing even for larger gaps using 2-K technologies. Light cure adhesives rapidly cure under UV/visible light.
Referred to technically as cyanoacrylate adhesives, and commonly referred to as superglues, these products are used when time is of the essence. Instant adhesives cure very quickly when confined between surfaces, exhibiting excellent adhesion on most substrates and especially on small to medium sized parts.
Instant adhesives can be used to bond a variety of dissimilar materials, and are generally clean and easy to apply. Coupled with their fast positioning, it makes them ideal for a variety of applications, including medical and automotive.
Additional benefits from Loctite instant adhesives include their high strength on very small bond faces, their lack of solvents, and not requiring complex part geometrics.
