The Instant Adhesive that Bonds Porous and Absorbent Materials

Written by Loctite | Aug 5, '21

LOCTITE 460 is a transparent, colorless, low viscosity, low odor, low blooming alkoxyethyl-based product which provides rapid bonding (5-20 seconds.) 

It is particularly suitable for applications where vapor control is difficult and is well suited to bonding porous or absorbent materials. 

LOCTITE 460 is ideal for a range of materials, including:

  • Elastomers
  • Plastics
  • Metals
  • Porous materials including wood, paper, leather and fabric.

Low bloom for cosmetic applications

'Blooming' or 'frosting' is the white residue you often see on parts bonded with an adhesive. Loctite 460 has been developed as low bloom, meaning it will not grow after the application and disrupt the aesthetic of the application. Ideal for when smooth clean lines are desired.

Low odour for applications where vapour control is vital

The lingering odour of many adhesives can be both unpleasant and unhealthy, potentially causing headaches, difficulty breathing and sinus irritation. 

Low viscosity

LOCTITE 460 is a low viscosity adhesive providing easy flow and application, and rapid bonding to materials.

Well suited to porous substrates

LOCTIE 460 is ideal to form instant strong bonds to a variety of surfaces, and is well suited for bonding of porous substrates including wood, paper, leather and fabric.
