LOCTITE® EA 3450

Features and Benefits

LOCTITE EA 3450, Epoxy, Bonding
LOCTITE® EA 3450 is a two component epoxy adhesive which cures rapidly at room temperature after mixing. It is a metal bonding adhesive which develops high strength. The gap filling properties make this adhesive system suitable for rough and poorly fitting surfaces made from metal, ceramic, rigid plastics or wood. Applications include bonding aluminum window frames and GRP panels.
