Loctite 401
Colour: colourless
Cyanoacrylate instant adhesive suitable for bonding a wide range of acidic and porous ma-
terials including, ceramics, wood, rubber and plastic (excluding polyolefin).
Curing takes place in a few seconds as an effect of the condensed humidity present on the
surfaces to be bonded, and is independent of environmental conditions.
Loctite 495
Colour: colourless
Cyanoacrylate instant adhesive suitable for bonding a rubber, plastics and metal in any com-
bination.

TS
Silastic 738
(Dow Corning)
Colour: milky white
One-part silicone adhesive/sealant, ready for use.
Cures on exposure to air to form a rubbery solid and obviates the need for conventional seals
on flexible joints, filling gaps greater than 1 mm.
Dirko Transparent
Colour: transparent
One-part silicone adhesive/sealant, shrinking, ready for use.
Cures rapidly when exposed to humidity in the air to form a rubbery solid; resistant to high
temperatures.

Betaseal HV3
(Gurit Essex)
Colour: black
Polyurethane prepolymer based adhesive/sealant, high viscosity, suitable for permanent,
high-strength flexible bonding.
Slow curing, used for bonding glass to frames, wire mesh, metal plates, etc. surfaces must be
degreased with primer.

Loctite 601
Colour:
fluorescent green
Anaerobic, fast-curing, high-strength adhesive.
Suitable for sealing and retaining cylindrical assemblies with gap clearances of up to 0.10 mm;
used for retaining rotors, gears, bearings, pulleys, bushes etc. on shafts.
Loctite 638
Colour:
fluorescent green
Anaerobic structural adhesive, quick-curing, very high strength; suitable for bonding cylin-
drical parts in non-ferrous alloys.
Loctite 648
Colour:
fluorescent green
Anaerobic structural adhesive, quick-curing, high-strength; suitable for bonding cylindrical
parts, permanent retention of threaded parts, sealing of refrigeration systems, retention of
bearings, etc.
Alternative to Loctite 601 in high-temperature applications.
Loctite 986/AVX
Colour:
fluorescent red
Anaerobic sealant/retaining compound for metal cylindrical parts.
Slow-curing, high-strength, heat-resistant and resistant to chemical pressure.
Parts must be first treated with an activator.
