New High Temperature Instant Adhesives Rival Performance of Epoxies and Acrylics

Loctite® 401™, Loctite® 406™, Loctite® 495™ and Loctite® 454™ instant adhesives cure rapidly on dry or acidic surfaces and in low humidity environments.

Loctite® 495™ is a low-viscosity grade specifically formulated to fill gaps as large as 0.004 inches. Ideal for porous surfaces, Loctite® 454™ is a non-drip gel that fills gaps to 0.010 inches, while maintaining shear strength to 3200 psi.
