Main features
- One-Component Adhesive System
- Clear Gel Formulation
- Gap-Filling Cyanoacrylate Bonding
Product Description
LOCTITE® 382 is a one-component ethyl cyanoacrylate adhesive supplied as a clear gel for rapid bonding applications requiring controlled flow and gap-filling capability. The gel consistency minimizes migration on vertical or porous surfaces while delivering fast fixture speeds and strong bonds to a wide range of materials including plastics, elastomers and metals. The adhesive polymerizes rapidly in the presence of surface moisture, producing durable bonds without mixing or external curing equipment. It is particularly suitable for assembly, maintenance and repair operations where precise adhesive placement and quick handling strength are required.
Key Features & Benefits
- One-component ethyl cyanoacrylate adhesive.
- Clear gel formulation for controlled dispensing.
- Fast curing upon exposure to surface moisture.
- Excellent gap-filling and non-drip performance on vertical surfaces.
- No mixing or heat curing required.
- Suitable for bonding plastics, metals and elastomeric materials.
- Ideal for repair, maintenance and assembly operations.
Recommended Applications
- General-purpose industrial bonding.
- Rubber-to-metal and plastic bonding.
- Vertical surface applications requiring non-sag behavior.
- Maintenance and repair operations.
- Small-part assembly and precision bonding.
