LOCTITE EA EL2995 is a two-component, ambient temperature curing toughened epoxy adhesive designed for high-strength bonding to rigid substrates such as steel, aluminum, concrete, wood, polycarbonate, and fiberglass-reinforced polyester plastics.
Key Features:
Excellent Impact and Water Resistance: Provides durable bonds capable of withstanding mechanical stresses and exposure to moisture.
Ambient Temperature Cure: Cures effectively at room temperature, simplifying the application process.
Versatility: Functions as a sealant, filler, or coating, accommodating various application needs.
100% Solids: Contains no solvents, reducing potential hazards and shrinkage during curing.
Typical Applications:
Bonding metals, plastics, and wood in industrial assemblies.
Serving as a binder for grit surfacing or reflective beads on rubber, metal, or concrete.
Acting as an oil and fuel-resistant sealant or adhesive.
Adhering concrete pipe gaskets and rubber to metal.
Utilized in sandwich panel assemblies, such as walk-in coolers.
Technical Specifications:
Mix Ratio: 1:1 by volume or 1:0.77 by weight (Part A: Part B).
Viscosity: Mixed viscosity is approximately 400,000 cps, indicating a thick, paste-like consistency.
Work Life: Approximately 90 minutes for a 300-gram mix at room temperature.
Lap Shear Strength: Provides shear strengths ranging from 1,200 psi (8.3 MPa) on copper to 2,900 psi (20.0 MPa) on bronze, depending on the substrate.
Hardness: Shore A hardness of 95, indicating a firm yet flexible cured material.
Tensile Elongation: Approximately 5%, allowing for slight flexibility under stress.
