Loctite® 480 Alternative

What is Loctite 480?

Loctite 480 is a black, low-medium viscosity, rubber toughened instant adhesive designed for close-fitting parts that need to withstand impact, shock and vibration. Its rubber toughened formulation delivers excellent peel, impact and shear strength while remaining flexible enough to handle joints between materials that expand and contract at different rates. Loctite 480 sets in around 90 seconds and is suitable for bonding metals, elastomers and plastics.
