Fast answers to formulation and application questions.
LOCTITE® EA 9489 is a medium-viscosity, two-part epoxy adhesive that is recommended as a multi-substrate structural bonder for strain gauges, fiberglass seams, printed circuit boards, stainless steal inserts, rubber hoses, and more. It bonds to a wide variety of substrates, including wood, plastics, metals, rubbers, glass, ceramics, and masonry materials, offering an extended working life of 60 to 120 minutes, allowing for adequate time for adjustments to parts during assembly. It is capable of filling 3.0 mm gaps, forming a flexible bond line that provides excellent electrical insulation and is resistant to chemicals, solvents, shock, and impacts.
Poor adherence of adhesive to difficult substrates and rough or poorly fitting surfaces, like metals, glass, ceramics, plastics, rubber, wood, and masonry materials
Poor aesthetic appearance of bonding line after cure
Repairing strain gauges
Sealing seams on fiberglass components
Repairing printed circuit boards
Bonding stainless steel inserts
Bonding rubber hose to steel tubing
