PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Cure Speed vs. Bond Gap & Humidity

LOCTITE® 4014™ provides the following product The rate of cure will depend on the bondline gap. Thin bond
characteristics: lines result in high cure speeds, increasing the bond gap will
decrease the rate of cure. The rate of cure is also influenced
Technology Cyanoacrylate
by the ambient relative humidity; the higher the relative
Appearance (uncured) Transparent, colorless to humidity, the greater the cure speed.
slightly yellow liquidLMS
Components One part - requires no mixing
Cure Speed vs. Activator
Viscosity Very low Where cure speed is unacceptably long due to large gaps,
Cure Humidity applying activator to the surface will improve cure speed.
Application Bonding However, this can reduce ultimate strength of the bond and
Key Substrates Plastics and Metals therefore testing is recommended to confirm effect.
