LOCTITE® EA E-120HP is an amber-beige, 2-part, high viscosity, industrial grade epoxy adhesive. The mixture cures at room temperature to form a tough bondline with excellent resistance to peel and impact forces. When fully cured, the epoxy offers superior thermal shock resistance, excellent mechanical and electrical properties and withstands exposure to a wide variety of solvents and chemicals.

• Extended work life
• Excellent resistance to peel and impact forces
• Offers superior thermal shock resistance, excellent mechanical and electrical properties and withstands exposure to a wide variety of solvents and chemicals
• Suitable for low stress, general industrial applications which require high impact and high peel strength
• Bonds dissimilar materials including aluminum, steel, and other metals, as well as a variety of plastics and ceramics

LOCTITE® EA E-120HP is a high viscosity industrial
grade epoxy adhesive with extended work life. Once mixed, the
two component epoxy cures at room temperature to form a
tough, amber-beige bondline with excellent resistance to
peel and impact forces. When fully cured, the epoxy offers
superior thermal shock resistance, excellent mechanical and
electrical properties, and withstands exposure to a wide variety
of solvents and chemicals. Typical applications
include bonding nose cones in aerospace applications. It is
also suitable for low stress, general industrial applications
which require high impact and high peel strength. Bonds
dissimilar materials including aluminum, steel, and other
metals, as well as a variety of plastics and ceramics.

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
Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).

Directions For Use:

1. For best performance part surfaces should be clean and
   free of grease.
2. For high strength structural bonds, remove surface
   contaminants such as paint, oxide films, oils, dust, mold
   release agents and all other surface contaminants.
3. Dual Cartridges: To use simply insert the cartridge into
   the application gun and start the plunger into the cylinders
   using light pressure on the trigger. Next, remove the
   cartridge cap and expel a small amount of adhesive to be
   sure both sides are flowing evenly and freely. If automatic
   mixing of resin and hardener is desired, attach the mixing
   nozzle to the end of the cartridge and begin dispensing
   the adhesive. For hand mixing, expel the desired amount of the adhesive and mix thoroughly. Mix for approximately
   15 seconds after uniform color is obtained.
   Bulk Containers: Mix thoroughly by weight or volume in
   the proportions specified in Product Description section.
   Mix vigorously, approximately 15 seconds after uniform
   color is obtained.
4. Do not mix quantities greater than 4 kg as excessive heat
   build-up can occur. Mixing smaller quantities will minimise
   the heat build-up.
5. Apply the adhesive as quickly as possible after mixing to
   one surface to be joined. For maximum bond strength
   apply adhesive evenly to both surfaces. Parts should be
   assembled immediately after mixed adhesive has been
   applied.
6. Keep assembled parts from moving during cure. The bond
   should be allowed to cure 24 hours before subjecting
   to any service loads.
7. Excess uncured adhesive can be wiped away with organic
   solvent (e.g. Acetone).
8. After use and before adhesive hardens mixing and
   dispensing equipment should be cleaned with hot soapy
   water.
