Product Description
LOCTITE® 496™ is a one-component, medium-viscosity methyl cyanoacrylate adhesive developed for rapid bonding of metals, plastics and elastomeric materials. The adhesive cures quickly through reaction with atmospheric moisture and is particularly suitable for close-fitting parts requiring fast fixture speeds and high bond strength. It is commonly used for bonding metals, rubber components and engineering plastics where fast assembly and reliable performance are required. The product provides excellent adhesion across a wide range of substrates and is designed for industrial manufacturing, maintenance and assembly applications.
