1. Product Overview

LOCTITE® 403™ is a high-viscosity, alkoxyethyl cyanoacrylate adhesive designed for low odor and low blooming applications. It cures rapidly in the presence of ambient moisture, producing transparent bonds. This formulation is well-suited for environments where vapor control is challenging. It delivers strong adhesion to a wide range of substrates, including metals, plastics, elastomers, and porous materials such as wood, paper, leather, and fabric.


2. Applications

  • Rapid bonding of metals, plastics, and elastomers.

  • Effective for porous/absorbent substrates such as paper, wood, leather, and textiles.

  • Suitable where low odor and minimal blooming are required.

  • Used in assemblies where fast fixture times are critical (e.g., electronics, consumer goods, precision parts).
