LOCTITE® AA 3972
Known as LOCTITE 3972
Features and Benefits
General purpose, medium viscosity, fast cure, acrylic-based adhesive ideal for soft PVC and metals, and for bonding stainless steel cannulae into hubs, syringes, and lancets for needle assemblies.
LOCTITE® AA 3972 is a light-cure, medium viscosity, acrylic-based adhesive designed to offer high adhesion to soft PVC and for joining metals. Fixture and tack-free time are both just 5 seconds, and cure depth is >13 mm (0.5"). While ideal for general purpose applications, it was specifically designed for bonding stainless steel cannulae into hubs, syringes and lancets for needle assemblies.
