Henkel LOCTITE-460 (20GM-BOTTLE)

Additional Product Information

Overview

LOCTITE 460 is a low-odor, low-blooming cyanoacrylate adhesive designed for rapid, reliable bonding of metals, plastics, elastomers, and porous materials. It is widely used in aviation and MRO operations for fast repairs, assembly, and component bonding. Maintenance teams rely on it for its versatility, fast fixture times, and strong, durable adhesion in environments where vapor control is limited.
