LOCTITE® EA 3450 is a two-component epoxy adhesive designed for high-strength metal bonding applications. Upon mixing, it cures rapidly at room temperature, forming a durable bond suitable for various substrates.
- High Bond Strength: Develops strong bonds, particularly effective for metal-to-metal applications.
- Gap-Filling Properties: Ideal for rough and poorly fitting surfaces, accommodating gaps in metal, ceramic, rigid plastics, or wood.
- Rapid Curing: Cures at room temperature after mixing, facilitating quick assembly processes.
- Versatile Applications: Suitable for bonding aluminum window frames, GRP panels, and other metal components.
