1. Product Overview

LOCTITE® HHD 3542™ is a reactive polyurethane hotmelt adhesive designed for robotic dispensing. It has a long open time, solidifies quickly for good initial strength, and undergoes secondary moisture cure for enhanced durability. Once fully cured, it does not remelt.

2. Applications

  • Bonding applications requiring high elongation and structural durability
  • Suitable for robotic dispensing
  • Bonds materials like anodized aluminum and PC/ABS plastics
