Main features
- Low-Odor Bonding Processing
- Low-Blooming Bonding Cure
- High-Viscosity Placement Control
Product Description
LOCTITE® 403™ is a one-component alkoxyethyl cyanoacrylate adhesive specifically formulated to provide rapid bonding with low odor and low blooming characteristics. The high-viscosity adhesive cures quickly in the presence of ambient humidity and is particularly suitable for applications where vapor control is difficult. It bonds a wide variety of materials including metals, plastics, elastomers, porous materials, wood, paper, leather and fabrics. Its low-whitening properties make it ideal for aesthetic assemblies and applications requiring clean bond lines and minimized residue formation.
Key Features & Benefits
- Low odor alkoxyethyl cyanoacrylate formulation.
- Low blooming (low whitening) characteristics.
- One-component adhesive requiring no mixing.
- Fast humidity-activated curing at room temperature.
- Excellent adhesion to metals, plastics and elastomers.
- Suitable for porous and absorbent materials.
- High viscosity supports gap tolerance and controlled dispensing.
Recommended Applications
- Bonding metals, plastics and elastomers.
- Wood, paper, leather and fabric assembly.
- Applications sensitive to adhesive blooming.
- General-purpose industrial assembly and repair.
- Precision bonding where low odor is preferred.
