LOCTITE® AA 3038 is a specialized structural adhesive formulated for bonding low energy plastics, such as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and thermoplastic olefins (TPO), which are tipically difficult to bond without extensive surface preparation. This two-component acrylic adhesive simplifies the bonding process by eliminating the need for primers or surface treatments, providing a reliable and durable solution for challanging substrates.
LOCTITE® AA 3038 is designed for low-energy substrates like PE, PP, and TPO, which are common in automotive parts, consumer goods, and various industrial applications. It also bonds effectively without the need for surface primers or treatments, like this, reducing the preparation time. Moreover, it provides a great impact resistance, making it suitable for application where durability and toughness are critical while providing a fast curing time.
Automotive: Bonding plastic components, such as interior panels, bumpers and trim.
Consumer goods: Assembly plastic parts in household appliances, electronics, and other consumer products.
General Manufacturing: Suitable for various industrial applications where strong, durable bonds are required on low-energy plastics.
