LOCTITE® AA 3106: Fast-Curing, Flexible Light-Cure Adhesive for Diverse Bonding with Gap Filling
LOCTITE® AA 3106 is a versatile, medium-viscosity, light-cure acrylic adhesive designed for a wide range of bonding applications, particularly those requiring:
- Large Gap Filling: Ideal for applications where gaps exist between bonded surfaces.
- Flexible Joints: Creates bonds with some degree of flexibility to absorb shock and stress.
- Stress-Sensitive Plastics: Bonds securely to various plastics without causing stress cracks.
Key Features:
- Thixotropic Formula: Reduces adhesive migration after application, minimizing mess and ensuring efficient use.
- Medium Viscosity: Provides good flowability for easy application, even with gaps.
- Fast Curing: Achieves strong bonds quickly with exposure to UV or visible light.
- Broad Adhesion: Bonds to a variety of materials, including:
- Plastics (including stress-sensitive plastics)
- Glass
- Ceramics
- Most Metals
- Transparent Formula: Creates a clear, aesthetically pleasing bond line.
- Enhanced Durability: Improves the load-bearing and shock-absorbing properties of the bonded area.
Applications:
- LOCTITE® AA 3106 is suitable for various applications in electronics assembly, automotive components, and general industrial use.
