LOCTITE SF7452
Harmonization Code : 3208.20.90 | Paints and varnishes that are dispersed or dissolved in a non aqueous medium
Main features
- Cyanoacrylate Adhesive Cure Accelerator
- Fast Assembly Fixturing
- Low-Viscosity Bonding Flow
Product Description
LOCTITE® SF 7452 is a cyanoacrylate adhesive activator designed to significantly increase the cure speed and fixture speed of LOCTITE® instant adhesives. The activator can be applied either before or after adhesive application and is particularly effective for rapid fixturing on production assemblies. It is commonly used in electronics and component assembly applications, including securing wires and coils to PCBs, mounting stand-offs, edge guides, and board stiffeners.
Key Features & Benefits
- Cyanoacrylate adhesive cure accelerator.
- Can be used as a pre- or post-applied activator.
- Provides rapid fixture development.
