1. Product Overview

LOCTITE® AA 3951™ is a low-viscosity, light-curing acrylic adhesive based on acrylated urethane technology. It offers:

  • High elongation strength
  • High adhesion
  • High humidity resistance
  • Fast LED curing
  • Flexibility for bonding plasticized PVC, TPEs, thermoset rubbers, and rigid substrates (polycarbonate, ABS, acrylic, HDPE, PP)

It is suitable for medical device assembly and has been tested per ISO 10993 biocompatibility standards.


2. Applications

  • Medical device assembly
  • Bonding plasticized PVC, TPEs, and thermoset rubbers
  • Bonding rigid substrates like polycarbonate, ABS, acrylic, HDPE (treated), and PP (treated)
  • Applications requiring high flexibility and fast LED curing
