LOCTITE 4061 - Instant adhesive for medical applications (20 ml)

LOCTITE 4061 – Superglue for fast and secure bonding of plastic, rubber and metal

Product Description

LOCTITE 4061 is a low-viscosity, one-component cyanoacrylate-based superglue specifically designed for the fast and high-strength bonding of plastics, elastomers (such as rubber), and metals. Thanks to its very short setting time, LOCTITE 4061 is ideal for rapid manufacturing processes, small production runs, and repair and assembly work where high precision and reliable adhesion are required.

Curing occurs through atmospheric humidity and is complete within seconds. This allows components to be positioned and permanently bonded in fractions of a second. The transparent, virtually colorless adhesive joint is also suitable for visually demanding applications. Thanks to its tested biocompatibility according to ISO 10993, LOCTITE 4061 is also approved for the assembly of single-use medical devices.

LOCTITE 4061 exhibits excellent adhesion to difficult substrates such as ABS, PVC, polycarbonate, neoprene, nitrile rubber, aluminum, galvanized steel, and other materials. The adhesive bond is resistant to numerous chemicals and remains permanently stable even under temperature fluctuations and high humidity.

Processing instructions

1. Preparation: Bonding surfaces must be clean, dry and free of grease.
2. Instructions: Apply a small drop of LOCTITE 4061 to one of the surfaces to be joined.
3. Assembly: Position components immediately and press down for a few seconds.
4. Curing: Fixes within seconds, final strength after approx. 24 hours.
5. Cleaning: Remove excess, uncured adhesive with acetone or LOCTITE cleaner.
   
   

Note: The formulation and biocompatibility of LOCTITE 4061 has been tested according to the latest ISO 10993 standards and is therefore particularly suitable for safety-critical and medical applications.
