LOCTITE®
401 Instant Adhesive
25ml Bottle
LOCTITE® 401 Instant Adhesive is a general purpose, low viscosity adhesive designed for the assembly of difficult to bond materials that require uniform stress distribution and high tensile and/or shear strength. The product provides for the rapid bonding of a wide range of materials including metals, ceramics, plastics and elastomers. Is also suitable for bonding porous materials such as wood, leather, fabric and paper.

Directions for use:
1. Bond areas should be clean and free from grease. Clean all surfaces with a Loctite® cleaning solvent and allow to
dry.
2. To improve bonding on low energy plastic surfaces, Loctite® Primer may be applied to the bond area. Avoid
applying excess Primer. Allow the Primer to dry.
3. LOCTITE® Activator may be used if necessary. Apply it to one bond surface (do not apply activator to the primed
surface where Primer is also used). Allow the Activator to dry.
4. Apply adhesive to one of the bond surfaces (do not apply the adhesive to the activated surface). Do not use items
like tissue or a brush to spread the adhesive. Assemble the parts within a few seconds. The parts should be
accurately located, as the short fixture time leaves little opportunity for adjustment.
5. LOCTITE® Activator can be used to cure fillets of product outside the bond area. Spray or drop the activator on the
excess product.
6. Bonds should be held fixed or clamped until adhesive has fixtured.
7. Product should be allowed to develop full strength before subjecting to any service loads (typically 24 to 72 hours
after assembly, depending on bond gap, materials and ambient conditions).
