LOCTITE AA 3106 is an advanced, one-component acrylic adhesive engineered for high-speed industrial bonding applications. This innovative formulation cures rapidly upon exposure to ultraviolet (UV) and/or visible light. It delivers robust, flexible bonds across a wide array of substrates, ensuring reliable performance in demanding environments.
General Information of LOCTITE AA 3106
LOCTITE AA 3106 is an acrylated urethane-based acrylic adhesive. It presents as a transparent, thixotropic liquid in its uncured state. This single-component system eliminates the need for mixing, streamlining application processes. Its medium viscosity ensures controlled dispensing while preventing unwanted migration after placement. Furthermore, the adhesive’s thixotropic nature significantly reduces product run-off on vertical or complex surfaces.
The primary curing mechanism involves UV and/or visible light. This enables rapid fixture times and high-speed production lines. This fast curing capability is a significant advantage in high-volume manufacturing. Consequently, LOCTITE AA 3106 enhances the load-bearing and shock-absorbing characteristics of the bonded area. It provides superior joint flexibility and durability. It is specifically formulated for challenging bonds. These include rigid or flexible PVC to polycarbonate applications. Large gap-filling and resilient joints are critical here.
Key Features & Technical Benefits
- Rapid UV/Visible Light Cure: This adhesive achieves high-speed curing, significantly accelerating production cycles.
