Henkel LOCTITE 495 General Purpose Instant Adhesive

Henkel LOCTITE 495 is a transparent, colorless, low-viscosity instant adhesive designed for the fast and reliable bonding of a wide variety of materials. Firstly, this general-purpose cyanoacrylate provides a high-strength bond that dries completely clear. Consequently, maintenance technicians and production engineers rely on this formula for quick repairs and precision assemblies where visual clarity remains an important requirement.

Technical Performance and Chemical Properties

In addition to its optical clarity, LOCTITE 495 features a very low viscosity of 40.0 mPa·s, which allows the liquid to flow smoothly into tight spaces up to a gap fill of 0.12 mm. Regarding its curing mechanism, the adhesive utilizes a moisture-cure technology that achieves a very fast fixture time on steel of just 5.0 seconds. Furthermore, Henkel manufactures this product with reduced hazardous ingredients to provide improved occupational safety during manual application or when using automated dispense systems. Therefore, this adhesive serves as an excellent choice for fast-paced industrial workshops.

Material Compatibility and Substrate Flexibility

Specifically, this versatile liquid effectively bonds a broad spectrum of substrates, including plastics, rubbers, and metals. Because it features a highly adaptable formula, it also works on elastomers and porous surfaces. Moreover, users can successfully bond difficult polyolefins when they pair the adhesive with LOCTITE SF 770 primer. As a result, the cured bond remains highly stable across a wide operating temperature range from -40.0 °C up to 120.0 °C.

Additionally, the product delivers a robust shear strength on grit-blasted mild steel of 14.2 N/mm². This ensures that your assemblies stand up to physical stress and vibrations immediately after the quick curing phase. Because it requires no mixing, you can apply it straight from the bottle for instant results.

Common Industrial Applications

Because of its rapid fixturing and low-viscosity design, Henkel LOCTITE 495 appears in countless manufacturing and maintenance environments. For example, workers frequently use it for O-ring bonding, electronic component placement, and temporary fixture setups. Finally, the combination of universal material compatibility and a 5-second set time ensures that your assembly lines move forward without delay. This makes it a top-tier selection for any operation that prioritizes rapid turnaround times and clean, strong bonds.
