LOCTITE® 454 adhesive is an instant adhesive designed for the assembly of difficult-to-bond materials which require uniform stress distribution and high tensile and/or shear strength. The adhesive provides for the rapid bonding of a wide range of materials, including metals, plastics and elastomers. The adhesive gel consistency enables overhead and vertical application. LOCTITE 454 adhesive is also suited to bonding porous materials such as wood, paper, leather and fabric. Perfect for all quick repair jobs.
- Universal instant adhesive gel
- Will not drip or run
- Non-wicking, specially suited to porous materials
- Perfect for all quick repairs
- Ideal for overhead application and vertical faces
- Bonds similar or dissimilar substrate combinations of wood, metals, ceramics, most plastics
strong tension and/or shear strength. The adhesive provides
rapid bonding of a wide range of materials, including metals,
plastics and elastomers. The adhesive gel consistency prevents
adhesive flow even on vertical surfaces. LOCTITE®
454™ adhesive is
also suited for bonding porous materials such as wood, paper,
leather and fabric.
NSF International
Registered to NSF Category P1 for use as a sealant where
there is no possibilty of food contact in and around food
processing areas. Note: This is a regional approval. Please
contact your local Technical Service Center for more
information and clarification.
TYPICAL CURING PERFORMANCE
Under normal conditions, the atmospheric moisture initiates the
curing process. Although full functional strength is developed
in a relatively short time, curing continues for at least 24 hours
before full adhesive/chemical/solvent resistance is developed.
Cure Speed vs. Substrate
The rate of cure will depend on the substrate used. The table
below shows the fixture time achieved on different materials
at 22 °C / 50 % relative humidity. This is defined as the time to
develop a shear strength of 0.1 N/mm².
Cure Speed vs. Bond Gap
The rate of cure will depend on the bondline gap. Thin bond
lines result in high cure speeds, increasing the bond gap will
decrease the rate of cure.
Cure Speed vs. Humidity
The rate of cure will depend on the ambient relative
humidity. The best results are achieved when the relative
humidity in the working environment is 40% to 60% at 22°C.
Lower humidity leads to slower cure. Higher humidity
accelerates it, but may impair the final strength of the bond.
Cure Speed vs. Activator
Where cure speed is unacceptably long due to large gaps,
applying activator to the surface will improve cure speed.
However, this can reduce ultimate strength of the bond and
therefore testing is recommended to confirm effect.
GENERAL INFORMATION
This product is not recommended for use in pure oxygen
and/or oxygen rich systems and should not be selected as
a sealant for chlorine or other strong oxidizing materials.
For safe handling information on this product, consult the
Safety Data Sheet (SDS).
Directions for use:
- Bond areas should be clean and free from grease. Clean
all surfaces with a Loctite®
cleaning solvent and allow to
dry. - To improve bonding on low energy plastic surfaces,
Loctite® Primer may be applied to the bond area. Avoid
applying excess Primer. Allow the Primer to dry. - LOCTITE® Activator may be used if necessary. Apply it to
one bond surface (do not apply activator to the primed
surface where Primer is also used). Allow the Activator to
dry. - Apply adhesive to one of the bond surfaces (do not apply
the adhesive to the activated surface). Do not use items
like tissue or a brush to spread the adhesive. Assemble
the parts within a few seconds. The parts should be
accurately located, as the short fixture time leaves little
opportunity for adjustment. - LOCTITE®
Activator can be used to cure fillets of product
outside the bond area. Spray or drop the activator on the
excess product. - Bonds should be held fixed or clamped until adhesive has
fixtured. - Product should be allowed to develop full strength before
subjecting to any service loads (typically 24 to 72 hours
after assembly, depending on bond gap, materials and
ambient conditions).
