LOCTITE® 402 Instant Adhesive
Features and Benefits
LOCTITE 402 is a medium viscosity, high temperature, durable, and fast-setting instant adhesive ideal for a wide range of substrates.
LOCTITE 402 is an ultra-performing, fast-setting instant adhesive that provides reliable performance under extreme operating temperatures up to 135°C. LOCTITE 402 cures quickly and creates strong, durable bonds to a wide range of plastic, rubber, and metal substrates – including difficult-to-bond materials. LOCTITE 402 is ideally suited for the joining of small parts in high-speed production applications as well as quick, on-the-go repairs.
- Ultra-performance adhesive
- Temperature resistance up to 135°C

How to
Step by Step Guide
1. Preparation - Cleaning
It is recommended to use the correct LOCTITE cleaner for the surface to be bonded (such as LOCTITE SF 7063) to degrease and clean surfaces prior to applying the adhesive.
2. Preparation - Priming
To improve adhesion on difficult to bond plastic surfaces, apply LOCTITE SF 7239 or LOCTITE SF 770 to the bond area by brushing or dipping. Avoid applying excess primer. Allow the primer to dry.
3. Preparation - Activation
If cure speed is too slow, use appropriate activator LOCTITE SF 7458 or LOCTITE SF 7455 (see cure speed vs activator graph in TDS). Apply activator to one bond surface by spray, brush or dipping (not primed surfaces). Allow the activator to dry.
4. Application
Apply adhesive onto one side/part.
5. Assembly
Assemble parts immediately. The parts should be accurately located as the short fixture time leaves little opportunity for adjustment. Bond should be held or clamped until the adhesive has fixtured. Hint: if necessary, excess product can be cured by activator LOCTITE SF 7458 or LOCTITE SF 7455. Spray or drop activator onto excess product.
Equipment
For precise dispensing of small amounts of adhesive, the use of dispensing needles is recommended.
