Slowdowns in production. Bonds that don't hold over the long term. Extra steps and materials in the assembly process from complicated mechanical fasteners. No thank you. LOCTITE has targeted your manufacturing challenges for decades, and we have worked continually to provide better—and faster—solutions.
Our portfolio of trusted instant component bonding solutions is led by our newest and best yet: LOCTITE 402, an ultra-performance instant adhesive that has been tested against competitive adhesives for demonstrated improvement in speed, heat resistance, and bonding versatility. LOCTITE 402 joins our lineup of proven instant bonding solutions, cleaners, and automation equipment, all designed to optimize results for your operation.
Mechanical fasteners concentrate stress, loosen over time, and require keeping a large parts inventory.
Ultrasonic welding requires a high capital investment and a lot of system maintenance, and can still result in poor gap fill and less-than-ideal aesthetics.
Solvent welding has health and safety concerns, and can result in poor gap fill and less-than-deal-aesthetics.
Tapes are challenging to automate, require precision application, and have poor adhesion to hard-to-bond materials.

Instant adhesives are ideal for bonding small- to medium-sized parts with close-fitting, smooth surfaces. They provide fast cure speeds and excellent bond strengths to a wide variety of substrates, including hard-to-bond materials. LOCTITE instant adhesives are available in a range of formulations for applications from general purpose repairs to specialty high-performance assemblies.
- High temperature
- High strength
- Toughness
- Aesthetics and odor
- Large gaps
- Flexibility
High-temperature applications require a product that can function under extreme operating temperatures. LOCTITE® 402 is an ultra-performing, fast-setting instant adhesive that provides reliable performance under temperatures up to 135° C.
- Ideal for quick repairs as well as high speed production applications
- Unique, patented HQ free formula
- Assembles with difficult-to-bond materials using primer LOCTITE® SF 770
LOCTITE 401 is ideal for high-strength applications. This fast-setting, surface-insensitive instant adhesive provides high shear strength on a wide range of materials, including difficult-to-bond substrates.
- Universal industrial instant adhesive
- Very high strength on close-fitting parts
- Improved occupational safety with HQ free product formula
- Bonds a wide range of similar or dissimilar substrates (metals, rubber, wood, cardboard, ceramics, as well as most plastics)
- Assembles difficult-to-bond materials using LOCTITE SF 770 prime
Some applications require an extra-tough adhesive. LOCTITE 435 is a toughened, surface-insensitive instant adhesive that delivers increased peel strength and impact resistance.
- Toughened, clear
- Ideal for bonding small to medium-size parts
- Well suited to metals, magnets, rubbers and plastics
- Fixture time of 10 - 20 secs.
- Optimal for porous and/or acidic surfaces
- Solvent-free
For applications where the aesthetic of the bond or odor during assembly are concerns, choose LOCTITE 460. This low-viscosity, low-odor, low-bloom instant adhesive rapidly bonds a wide range of materials.
- Low bloom for cosmetic applications
- Low odor for applications where vapor control is vital
- Low viscosity
- Rapid bonding (5 – 20 secs., depending on substrate)
- Well suited to porous substrates
For applications with a large gap to bond, LOCTITE® 3090 is a unique, two-part instant adhesive that fills gaps up to 5 mm for a wide range of materials.
- Temperature resistance from -40 to +80 °C
- Gap filling up to 5 mm
- Gel consistency preventing sagging even on vertical surfaces
- Excellent bonding of all common substrates (metals, most plastics, rubber, wood, paper, etc.)
- Precise and clean application with the syringe
- Perfect for all quick repairs of broken plastic parts and all types of emergency repair
Looking for bondline flexibility? Choose LOCTITE 4902 A highly-flexible instant adhesive that offers high strength in flexing bondlines, and resistance to leaks with excellent sealing capability.
- One component - requires no mixing
- Contains photo-initiator properties
- Enables rapid curing leading to minimized blooming and provides an alternative to solvent borne accelerators
- Bonds dissimilar and opaque substrates while improving device performance
