New hybrid adhesive offers the best of both worlds

Adhesives are critical components in many industrial applications — fromproduction to maintenance. The types of adhesives are just as varied as theapplications, and each have their own sets of benefits.

In the past, the industry application dictated the adhesive product that had to beused. Instant adhesive gave you a substrate versatility with ease of use and aquick cure, while structural adhesive provided impact, moisture and heatresistance. Now there’s an adhesive that delivers both speed and strength in onepackage.

Henkel’s Loctite 4090is an innovative hybrid adhesive that combines thestrength of a structural adhesive with the speed of an instant adhesive to solvethe toughest design, assembly and repair challenges. In addition, the hybridadhesive is designed to deliver high-quality performance in extremeenvironments and challenging conditions.

“Your costs will go down, you’ll save time in production and cut materialexpenses, with all the benefits combined into one great product,” the companysays.

Loctite 4090 features high-impact resistance for highly stressed joints andapplications exposed to vibration. In fact, its high-impact and vibration resistanceis three times more than that of instant adhesives. It also features high moistureresistance for outdoor and other applications that demand good humidity andsolvent resistance in various environments. Another plus: it has been tested toresist extreme heat conditions — up to 150 degrees C. It can also fill gaps up tofive mm for fast bonding of various substrates (metals, plastics, rubbers, etc.).

In addition to combining the critical attributes of structural and instant adhesives,Loctite 4090 offers: fast cure even at low temperatures of -40 degrees C; lowblooming for appearance-sensitive applications; very good chemical and solventresistance to motor oil, gasoline, ethanol, isopropanol and water; and excellentwater/humidity resistance.

Henkel manufactures a wide range of industrial adhesives for every application— from instant adhesives to pressure sensitive tape adhesives, structuraladhesives to threadlocker adhesives.Contact Henkelfor more details on Loctite4090 or any of its other offerings.
