Best Practices for Henkel Loctite 409
-
Surface Preparation
For best performance bond surfaces should be clean and free from grease.
-
Application
This product performs best in thin bond gaps (0.05 mm).
-
Curing
Under normal conditions, the atmospheric moisture initiates the curing process. Although full functional strength is developed in a relatively short time, curing continues for at least 24 hours before full chemical/solvent resistance is developed.
Cure Speed vs. Substrate - The rate of cure will depend on the substrate used.
Cure Speed vs. Bond Gap - The rate of cure will depend on the bondline gap. Thin bond lines result in high cure speeds, increasing the bond gap will decrease the rate of cure.
Cure Speed vs. Activator - Where cure speed is unacceptably long due to large gaps, applying activator to the surface will improve cure speed. However, this can reduce ultimate strength of the bond and therefore testing is recommended to confirm effect.
See Vendor technical data sheer for more information.

Clean-Up
Excess adhesive can be dissolved with Loctite cleanup solvents, nitromethane or acetone.
