LOCTITE® EA 3422 (known as Hysol 3422) is a two-component epoxy resin that cures quickly at room temperature after mixing. It is a general purpose adhesive that develops high strength on a wide range of substrates. Its gap filling properties make it suitable for porous surfaces such as metal, ceramics, rigid plastics and wood. It develops high strength within 2 hours at room temperature.
Application Properties
- Resin white, hardener light yellow liquid, mixed light yellow; medium viscosity
- Mix ratio resin:hardener by volume 1:1, by weight 100:100
- Working life (25 °C, 10 g) 1.5–6 min; fixture time (22 °C) 7 min
Cured Properties (7 days at 22 °C)
- Hardness 70–80 Shore D; glass transition temperature 63 °C; elongation 3%
- Tensile strength 29 N/mm²; tensile modulus 1300 N/mm²; compressive strength 75 N/mm²
