Loctite Aa 352 Light Cure Adhesive 50ml
LOCTITE® AA 352 (50ml) is a toughened, amber translucent light-cure acrylic adhesive engineered for maximum efficacy in industrial bonding, coating, and sealing. This industrial-grade adhesive permanently joins and seals components, preventing costly structural failures and joint degradation caused by high humidity, severe vibration, or intense impact forces. Whether you are securing appliance parts or decorative components, this premium light-cure adhesive provides a robust, leak-proof seal on all compatible materials—including difficult combinations of glass, metals, and ceramics.
Why Choose LOCTITE® AA 352 On-Demand Curing?
- Prevents Adhesive Migration: Specially formulated to prevent uncured anaerobic adhesive from migrating away from the joint interface.
- Exceptional Material Versatility: Provides an outstanding, toughened bond line between glass-to-glass, glass-to-metal, and ceramic components.
- Excellent Environmental Resistance: Demonstrates robust stability with high resistance to chemical exposure and prolonged high humidity.
- Ideal Heavy-Duty Use Cases: Perfect for industrial applications, including unitizing electrical devices, securing appliance hardware, and mounting decorative trims.
- Resilient Thermal Profile: Maintains solid structural performance in rugged working environments, with a reliable service temperature range of -40°C to +150°C.
Technical Specifications
- Product Type: Light-Cure Acrylic Adhesive
- Strength: High Toughened Bond (2,400 psi block shear steel to glass)
- Color: Amber, Translucent
- Container Size: 50ml
- Curing Method: Ultraviolet (UV) Light, Heat Cure, or Activator Cure
Simple Application Instructions
- Clean: For optimal results, ensure bond surfaces are clean, completely dry, and entirely free from grease or oils before applying the adhesive.
- Apply: Apply the liquid acrylic adhesive to the target location area. Because this product is light sensitive, exposure to natural daylight, UV light, and artificial workspace lighting should be kept to a absolute minimum during storage and handling.
- Assemble: Assemble the components as required. The formula will cure when exposed to UV radiation at 365nm (a minimum intensity of 40 mW/cm² at the bond line is recommended). Alternatively, it can be heat cured at 121°C for 30 minutes, or chemically cured using LOCTITE® Activator 7075™. Allow bonds to cool completely before subjecting them to any service loads.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is LOCTITE® AA 352 used for?
LOCTITE® AA 352 is a toughened light-cure acrylic adhesive designed to bond, seal, or coat glass and metal components in industrial assemblies. It is specifically formulated to prevent assemblies from failing or loosening due to severe vibration, impact forces, or high humidity environments.
Can LOCTITE® AA 352 be disassembled?
No, standard hand tools are typically insufficient due to the toughened structural nature of the cured matrix. Excess uncured adhesive can be easily wiped away with an organic solvent like Acetone, but fully cured components require localized high thermal stress or intensive chemical solvent soaking to break the bond framework.
Does LOCTITE® AA 352 work on plastics?
While optimized for glass, metals, and ceramics, it can be used on certain plastics. However, thermoplastic and sensitive plastic grades must always be evaluated prior to regular assembly line use to check for risk of chemical stress cracking when exposed to the liquid un-cured adhesive.
Is LOCTITE® AA 352 safe for oxygen-rich systems?
No. LOCTITE® AA 352 is not recommended for use in pure oxygen or oxygen-rich systems. Additionally, it should never be selected as a sealant or adhesive for chlorine or other strong, aggressive oxidizing materials.
