Product Description
LOCTITE® E-04 is a two-component toughened epoxy adhesive designed for structural bonding of metals, magnets, glass and engineering plastics. The adhesive cures at room temperature to form a durable, impact-resistant bond with excellent electrical insulation properties, low shrinkage and good chemical resistance. Its thixotropic consistency and gap-filling capability make it suitable for demanding industrial assembly and repair applications.
Key Features & Benefits
- Two-component toughened epoxy technology.
- Thixotropic, non-flowing adhesive consistency.
- Low shrinkage during cure.
- Excellent impact resistance.
- Outstanding electrical insulation properties.
- Good chemical resistance after cure.
- Structural bonding of metals, magnets, glass and plastics.
Recommended Applications
- Structural metal bonding.
- Magnet assembly and ferrite bonding.
- Glass bonding applications.
- Plastic component assembly.
- General industrial repair and maintenance.
