LOCTITE SF768
Harmonization Code : 3208.20.90 | Paints and varnishes that are dispersed or dissolved in a non aqueous medium
Main features
- Cyanoacrylate Residue Removal
- Very-Low-Viscosity Solvent Cleaner
- Surface Cleaning and Debonding
Product Description
LOCTITE® SF 768™ is a solvent-based cleaner formulated specifically for the removal of cured cyanoacrylate adhesives and for debonding components assembled with instant adhesives. The low-viscosity blend of nitromethane and hydrocarbon solvents penetrates cured adhesive deposits, allowing adhesive residues to be softened and removed from surfaces. It is suitable for maintenance, rework, and cleaning applications involving cured cyanoacrylate contamination. Based on the uploaded datasheet image.
