LOCTITE® EA 3450
Features and Benefits
This 2-part epoxy-based metal bonder develops high strength and is ideal for levelling surface irregularities.
LOCTITE® EA 3450 is a 2-part epoxy adhesive which cures rapidly at room temperature after mixing. It is a metal-bonding adhesive that develops high strength. The gap-filling properties make this adhesive system suitable for rough and poorly fitting surfaces made from metal, ceramics, rigid plastics or wood. Applications include bonding aluminium window frames and GRP panels.
- 2-part adhesive for high bond strength
- Room-temperature curing after mixing
