1. Product Overview

LOCTITE® 4305 is a one-part, UV/Visible light-curable ethyl cyanoacrylate adhesive with secondary humidity cure. It provides rapid fixturing, fillet cure, and surface cure, minimizing blooming and eliminating the need for solvent-borne accelerators. The adhesive is suitable for bonding plastics, rubbers, and metals and is commonly used in medical device assembly. LOCTITE® 4305 meets Henkel’s ISO 10993 biocompatibility protocol.

2. Applications

  • Medical device assembly
  • Bonding plastics, rubbers, and metals
  • Applications requiring rapid surface and fillet curing
  • Alternative to solvent-based accelerators
