Loctite® 403 Alternative

What is Loctite 403?

Loctite 403 is a high performance, low odour, low bloom instant adhesive designed for applications where vapour control and cosmetic finish are important. It has a high viscosity and provides rapid bonding of a wide range of materials including metals, plastics and elastomers, setting in seconds on most substrates. Its alkoxyethyl cyanoacrylate formulation minimises the white frosting (bloom), making it ideal for bonds that require a clean, high quality finish.
