LOCTITE® EA 3450™ May-2014 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION LOCTITE® EA 3450™ provides the following product characteristics: Technology Epoxy Chemical Type (Resin) Epoxy Chemical Type (Hardener) Epoxy Appearance (Resin) Black thixotropic paste Appearance (Hardener) White thick paste Appearance (Mixture) Metallic gray Components Two component - requires mixing Mix Ratio, by volume - Resin : Hardener 1 : 1 Mix Ratio, by weight - Resin : Hardener 1 : 1 Cure Room temperature cure after mixing Application Bonding LOCTITE® EA 3450™ is a two component epoxy adhesive which cures rapidly at room temperature after mixing. It is a metal bonding adhesive which develops high strength. The gap filling properties make this adhesive system suitable for rough and poorly fitting surfaces made from metal, ceramic, rigid plastics or wood. Applications include bonding aluminum window frames and GRP panels.

This product is not recommended for use in pure oxygen and/or oxygen rich systems and should not be selected as a sealant for chlorine or other strong oxidizing materials. Directions for use: 1. For best performance part surfaces should be clean and free of grease. 2. For high strength structural bonds, remove surface contaminants such as paint, oxide films, oils, dust, mold release agents and all other surface contaminants. 3. Dual Cartridges: To use simply insert the cartridge into the application gun and start the plunger into the cylinders using light pressure on the trigger. Next, remove the cartridge cap and expel a small amount of adhesive to be sure both sides are flowing evenly and freely. If automatic mixing of resin and hardener is desired, attach the mixing nozzle to the end of the cartridge and begin dispensing the adhesive. For hand mixing, expel the desired amount of the adhesive and mix thoroughly. Mix for approximately 15 seconds after uniform color is obtained. Bulk Containers: Mix thoroughly by weight or volume in the proportions specified in Product Description section. Mix vigorously, approximately 15 seconds after uniform color is obtained. 4. For maximum bond strength apply adhesive evenly to both surfaces to be joined. 5. Application to the substrates should be made within 20 minutes. Larger quantities and/or higher temperatures will reduce this working time. 6. Join the adhesive coated surfaces and allow to cure at 25 °C for 24 hours for high strength. Heat up to 93 °C, will speed curing. 7. Keep parts from moving during cure. Contact pressure is neccesary. Maximum shear strength is obtained with a 0.1 to 0.2 mm bond line.
