Loctite 480 50G Black Rubber Reinforced Cyanoacrylate Adhesive For Metal, Plastics And Elastomers

LOCTITE 480 50g – Black Rubber-Reinforced Cyanoacrylate Adhesive for Metal, Plastics, and Elastomers

LOCTITE 480 is a single-component, low-viscosity, black, rubber-reinforced cyanoacrylate adhesive. It is designed for the rapid bonding of tightly fitting components made of metals, elastomers, and plastics.

The reinforced formula provides increased bond resistance to impact, peel, and shear compared to typical rigid instant adhesives. This makes LOCTITE 480 particularly suitable for bonds exposed to shock loads, vibrations, or local stresses.

What is LOCTITE 480 used for?

LOCTITE 480 is designed for bonding closely fitting components made of metals, elastomers, and suitable plastics. It can be used during production assembly, repairs, and maintenance work when a strong connection is needed quickly.

The adhesive works particularly well in applications where standard cyanoacrylate adhesive may be too stiff. The addition of rubber increases the joint's resistance to impact and peeling while maintaining the setting speed typical of cyanoacrylates.

LOCTITE 480 in practice

Watch the video presenting the practical application of LOCTITE 480 adhesive.

Rubber reinforcement - improves the joint's resistance to impact, peeling and mechanical loads.

Low viscosity - facilitates the spreading of the adhesive in thin layers. layer between well-matched surfaces.

Fast Fixture – on steel, the fixture time is approximately 90 seconds under standard test conditions.

Black Color – facilitates visual inspection of the adhesive presence and may be beneficial in connections with dark elements.

How to use LOCTITE 480?

The surfaces to be joined should be clean, dry, and degreased. The adhesive should be applied sparingly to one of the surfaces, then the elements should be quickly joined and held in position until initial strength is achieved.

The actual fixture time depends on the type of material, gap size, temperature, and humidity.

How is LOCTITE 480 different from standard cyanoacrylate adhesive?

Is LOCTITE 480 suitable for metal?

Yes. Metals are among the main materials recommended by the manufacturer. The adhesive is intended for tightly fitted components and thin gaps.

Is LOCTITE 480 suitable for rubber?

Yes. The manufacturer indicates elastomers as one of the basic groups of materials intended for bonding with this product.

Is LOCTITE 480 suitable for plastics?

Yes. The adhesive is also intended for suitable plastics. For materials that are difficult to bond or whose composition is unknown, it is recommended to perform a test on an actual part.

The fixture time depends on the material and application conditions. For steel, the manufacturer states approximately 90 seconds. On other materials, the time may be shorter or longer.

Does LOCTITE 480 fill large gaps?

No. The product is intended for tightly fitting components. The declared maximum gap filling is 0.18 mm.

The declared operating temperature range is -40°C to +100°C.
