08Quick Answer

Straight Answers

What is the difference between Loctite 406 and a general-purpose superglue?

406 is a production-grade ethyl cyanoacrylate, qualified to A-A-3097, with controlled viscosity (12–22 mPa·s) and documented strength on engineering plastics. Unlike general-purpose tubes, it gives a known fixture time for every substrate — under 5 seconds on ABS, PVC, and nitrile, 20–45 seconds on steel — so production schedules can rely on it.

How strong is Loctite 406 and how fast does it cure?

15.5 N/mm² (2,250 psi) is the lap shear strength on grit-blasted steel per ISO 4587 after 24 hours at 22°C. Fixture time at 22°C and 50% RH is under 5 seconds on most plastics and rubbers, 10–20 seconds on polycarbonate, and 20–45 seconds on degreased steel. Full strength develops in 24–72 hours.

How much does Loctite 406 cost in India?

₹234 incl GST is the price for a standard 20 ml pack from our Ghaziabad warehouse, delivered PAN India. Bulk cartons and repeat supply contracts are priced on request — WhatsApp for the current bulk rate and stock position. Shipping charges apply on all orders. UPI, bank transfer, or credit card invoice via Razorpay — no COD.

08FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Loctite 406?

Loctite 406 is an instant adhesive (cyanoacrylate) by Henkel, formulated to bond plastics, rubber and metals with very fast fixturing. It is a transparent, low-viscosity, one-part liquid that cures on contact with moisture in the air. It is qualified to A-A-3097.

Do I need to mix Loctite 406?

No. Loctite 406 is a one-part ethyl cyanoacrylate. No mixing is required. It cures by reacting with humidity in the air, so apply it straight from the bottle and assemble the parts within seconds.

What does Loctite 406 look like?

It is a transparent, colorless to straw-colored liquid with low viscosity. The low viscosity lets it flow into close-fitting joints and spread into a thin bond line, which cures fastest.

How fast does Loctite 406 cure?

It fixtures in under 5 seconds on aluminum, neoprene, nitrile rubber, ABS, PVC and phenolic at 22°C and 50% RH. Degreased steel takes 20–45 seconds and polycarbonate 10–20 seconds. Full strength develops in 24 hours.

How strong is Loctite 406?

Lap shear strength per ISO 4587 after 24 hours at 22°C: 15.5 N/mm² on grit-blasted steel, 12 N/mm² on etched aluminum, 8.8 N/mm² on ABS, 9.1 N/mm² on polycarbonate. Block shear on ABS is 23.7 N/mm².

Does Loctite 406 work on polycarbonate?

Yes. Loctite 406 fixtures on polycarbonate in 10–20 seconds and gives 9.1 N/mm² lap shear strength. For fast handling on polycarbonate, an activator can be used to speed up the cure.

How should I store Loctite 406?

Store in the unopened container in a dry location. The optimum storage temperature is 2°C to 8°C (refrigerated). Storage below 2°C or above 8°C can adversely affect product properties. Do not return used product to the original container.

Where should I not use Loctite 406?

It is not recommended for use in pure oxygen or oxygen-rich systems, and should not be used as a sealant for chlorine or strong oxidizing products. Parts should be cleaned first for the strongest bond.

How do I get the best bond strength from Loctite 406?

Clean both surfaces with a Loctite solvent or degreaser, keep bond lines thin, keep relative humidity at 40–60% at 22°C, hold or clamp the parts until fixtured, and allow 24–72 hours for full cure. Loctite 770 primer helps on low-energy plastics.
