Technical Data Sheet
LOCTITE® 454™
March-2010
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
LOCTITE® 454™ provides the following product
characteristics:
Technology Cyanoacrylate
Chemical Type Ethyl cyanoacrylate
Appearance (uncured) Clear to slightly cloudy gel
LMS
Components One part - requires no mixing
Viscosity High, thixotropic
Cure Humidity
Application Bonding
Key Substrates Metals, Plastics and Elastomers
LOCTITE® 454™ is designed for the assembly of difficultto-bond materials which require uniform stress distribution and
strong tension and/or shear strength. The product provides
rapid bonding of a wide range of materials, including metals,
plastics and elastomers. The gel consistency prevents
adhesive flow even on vertical surfaces. LOCTITE® 454™ is
also suited for bonding porous materials such as wood, paper,
leather and fabric.
NSF International
Registered to NSF Category P1 for use as a sealant where
there is no possibilty of food contact in and around food
processing areas. Note: This is a regional approval. Please
contact your local Technical Service Center for more
information and clarification.

TYPICAL CURING PERFORMANCE
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. The table
below shows the fixture time achieved on different materials
at 22 °C / 50 % relative humidity. This is defined as the time to
develop a shear strength of 0.1 N/mm².
Fixture Time, seconds:
Steel 60 to 210
Aluminum 3 to 10
Zinc dichromate 5 to 20
Neoprene 15 to 20
Rubber, nitrile 5 to 15
ABS 3 to 10
PVC 5 to 10
Polycarbonate 5 to 10
Phenolic 5 to 30
Wood (balsa) <3
Wood (oak) 30 to 45
Wood (pine) 45 to 60
Chipboard 5 to 15
Fabric 15 to 30
Leather 105 to 150
Paper 7 to 15
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. Humidity
The rate of cure will depend on the ambient relative
humidity. The best results are achieved when the relative
humidity in the working environment is 40% to 60% at 22°C.
Lower humidity leads to slower cure. Higher humidity
accelerates it, but may impair the final strength of the bond.
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.

GENERAL INFORMATION
This product is not recommended for use in pure oxygen
and/or oxygen rich systems and should not be selected as
a sealant for chlorine or other strong oxidizing materials
For safe handling information on this product, consult the
Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).
Directions for use:
1.
Bond areas should be clean and free from grease. Clean
all surfaces with a Loctite®cleaning solvent and allow to
dry.
2.
Loctite®Primer may be applied to the bond area. Avoid
applying excess Primer. Allow the Primer to dry.
3.
LOCTITE®Activator may be used if necessary. Apply the
LOCTITE®Activator to one bond surface (do not apply
activator to the primed surface where Primer is also
used). Allow the Activator to dry.
4. Apply adhesive to one of the bond surfaces (do not apply
the adhesive to the activated surface). Do not use items
like tissue or a brush to spread the adhesive. Assemble
the parts within a few seconds. The parts should be
accurately located, as the short fixture time leaves little
opportunity for adjustment.

5.
LOCTITE® Activator can be used to cure fillets of product
outside the bond area. Spray or drop the activator on the
excess product.
6. Bonds should be held fixed or clamped until adhesive has
fixtured.
7. Product should be allowed to develop full strength before
subjecting to any service loads (typically 24 to 72 hours
after assembly, depending on bond gap, materials and
ambient conditions).
