LOCTITE® 402 Instant Adhesive
Features and Benefits
slide 1 of 3
A 1-part, fast-fixturing, ultra-performance instant adhesive that provides reliable performance under extreme operating temperatures up to 135°C (275°F). It is suitable for use in medical device assembly.
LOCTITE® 402 is a high-temperature and fast-fixturing instant adhesive that reliably and strongly bonds to a wide range of plastic, rubber and metal substrates. It is ideally suited to joining small parts in high-speed production applications, as well as quick, on-the-go repairs. Using the primer LOCTITE® SF 770 (or LOCTITE® SF 7701 for medical device assembly), the assembly of difficult-to-bond (PP, PE, PTFE) materials is possible.
- Ultra-performance adhesive providing resistance up to 135°C (275°F) and fast fixture
- ISO 10993 bio-compatible
- Ideal for quick repairs and high-speed production applications
- Unique, patented formula with reduced hazardous ingredients
- Assembles difficult-to-bond materials using LOCTITE SF 770 or SF 7701 primer

How to
Step by Step Guide
1. Preparation - Cleaning
It is recommended to use the correct LOCTITE cleaner for the surface to be bonded (such as LOCTITE SF 7063) to degrease and clean surfaces prior to applying the adhesive.
2. Preparation - Priming
To improve adhesion on difficult to bond plastic surfaces, apply LOCTITE SF 7239 or LOCTITE SF 770 to the bond area by brushing or dipping. Avoid applying excess primer. Allow the primer to dry.
3. Preparation - Activation
If cure speed is too slow, use appropriate activator LOCTITE SF 7458 or LOCTITE SF 7455 (see cure speed vs activator graph in TDS). Apply activator to one bond surface by spray, brush or dipping (not primed surfaces). Allow the activator to dry.
4. Application
Apply adhesive onto one side/part.
5. Assembly
Assemble parts immediately. The parts should be accurately located as the short fixture time leaves little opportunity for adjustment. Bond should be held or clamped until the adhesive has fixtured. Hint: if necessary, excess product can be cured by activator LOCTITE SF 7458 or LOCTITE SF 7455. Spray or drop activator onto excess product.
Equipment
For precise dispensing of small amounts of adhesive, the use of dispensing needles is recommended.
