Product Description
LOCTITE® EA 9430 is a two-part, modified epoxy structural adhesive that cures at room temperature. It combines high peel and shear strength with a tough, flexible cured profile for bonding a variety of substrates, including dissimilar materials. The off-white mixed adhesive has a typical 50-minute pot life at 77°F for a 250-gram batch and accommodates bondlines up to 0.1 inch. Cured bonds resist water, salt spray, and many common industrial fluids. Ultimate properties develop in five days at room temperature, while elevated-temperature curing up to 180°F can shorten the cure time.
Key features
- High peel and shear strength: Typical values include 4,700 psi lap shear and 60 pli peel strength under the specified test conditions.
- Long working time: Provides a typical 50-minute pot life at 77°F for a 250-gram mixed quantity.
- Tough, flexible bonding: Supports dissimilar-substrate assemblies and bondline thicknesses up to 0.1 inch.
Applications / Suitable for
- Bonding dissimilar substrates
- Assemblies requiring bondlines up to 0.1 inch
- Bonded structures exposed to water, salt spray, or common industrial fluids
