Loctite 403 Adhesive Overview
No More Smelly Super Glue With This Low Odor, Low Bloom Cyanoacrylate.
Get rid of that smell usually associated with super glues by making use of LOCTITE® 403. This is a low odor, medium viscosity, low blooming alkoxyethyl-based adhesive that is perfect for materials that have difficult vapor control. It is capable of holding a wide range of materials including elastomers, plastics and metal it is also perfect for items that are absorbent or porous.
If you often attach plastics to different items, this glue is a must have for you. It will not grow after application – this is why the term “low blooming” is often used to describe it. It bonds practically all items to plastic, except the PTFE plastic. It is easy to apply and is best used when the plastic is primed with Loctite 770 primer.
