- One-Component Adhesive System
- Vertical/Overhead Adhesive Applications
Product Description
LOCTITE® 499™ Gel is a one-component, medium-to-high viscosity ethyl cyanoacrylate adhesive formulated in a non-sag gel consistency for applications requiring precise placement and controlled dispensing. The adhesive cures rapidly in the presence of atmospheric moisture and is suitable for bonding metals, plastics, elastomers and porous materials. Its gel form minimizes running and dripping, making it particularly effective for vertical and overhead bonding applications. The product combines the fast fixture characteristics of cyanoacrylates with superior application control for assembly, maintenance and repair operations.
