Loctite 401 - Instant Adhesive

3M | SKU CODE: Loctite 401 | EAN: None | GTIN: None

Loctite 401 is a medium-viscosity, fast-curing cyanoacrylate (instant adhesive) designed as an all-rounder for bonding a wide variety of materials. It cures in seconds at room temperature when exposed to ambient moisture, forming a strong, rigid bond line. It’s especially useful when you need to bond mixed substrates, including: Metals (steel, aluminum, copper, etc.), Many plastics and elastomers, and Porous and absorbent materials such as wood, leather, paper, cork and fabric

Product Description

Loctite 401 is a medium-viscosity, fast-curing cyanoacrylate (instant adhesive) designed as an all-rounder for bonding a wide variety of materials. It cures in seconds at room temperature when exposed to ambient moisture, forming a strong, rigid bond line. It’s especially useful when you need to bond mixed substrates, including: Metals (steel, aluminum, copper, etc.), Many plastics and elastomers, and Porous and absorbent materials such as wood, leather, paper, cork and fabric

Key Features

  • Universal substrate compatibility: Bonds metals, most plastics, elastomers and porous substrates, making it ideal when you don’t want multiple different instant adhesives in stock.
  • Fast fixture at room temperature: Achieves handling strength in seconds on many materials, keeping assembly and repair work moving quickly.
  • Medium viscosity for controlled flow: Thin enough to wick into tight joints, but viscous enough to stay where you apply it and not run everywhere.
  • Good performance on porous materials: Compared with very low-viscosity CAs, Loctite 401 is less likely to soak straight into substrates like wood, paper or leather, giving better actual bond-line build.
  • Single-component, easy to use: No mixing, no heat; just apply to one surface and assemble. Great for line-side assembly, repair benches and field work.
  • Small amounts go a long way: CAs work best in thin bond lines, so only a small drop is needed, which helps control cost per joint.
