Loctite 480 Instant Adhesive - 20ml

Loctite 480 – Rubber-Toughened Instant Adhesive

Loctite 480 is a premium black, rubber-toughened cyanoacrylate instant adhesive engineered for applications requiring high bond strength, excellent impact resistance, and long-term durability. Unlike standard instant adhesives, its rubber-reinforced formulation improves flexibility and resistance to shock, vibration, and peeling, making it ideal for demanding industrial environments.

Loctite 480 bonds in seconds and forms strong, reliable joints on a wide range of materials, including metals, rubber, ferrite magnets, ceramics, wood, and many plastics (except certain low-surface-energy plastics such as polyethylene, polypropylene, and PTFE unless used with an appropriate primer). It is particularly effective for bonding dissimilar materials where a combination of strength and toughness is essential.

The adhesive provides excellent resistance to impact loads and cyclic stress, helping maintain bond integrity in applications exposed to vibration or mechanical movement. Its black color also makes it suitable for applications where a dark bond line is preferred or where improved visibility during assembly is beneficial.
