1. Product Overview

LOCTITE® 431™ is a medium-viscosity, one-part ethyl cyanoacrylate adhesive that cures with humidity. It is designed for strong tension and shear strength bonding across metals, plastics, elastomers, and porous materials such as wood, paper, leather, and fabric. It meets ISO-10993 biocompatibility standards for medical device applications.

2. Applications

  • Bonding metals, plastics, and elastomers
  • Assembly of difficult-to-bond materials requiring uniform stress distribution
  • Bonding porous materials (wood, paper, leather, fabric)
  • Suitable for medical devices (ISO-10993 tested)
