1. Product Overview

LOCTITE® 498 is a cyanoacrylate adhesive designed for general-purpose bonding where heat resistance is required. It offers superior resistance to thermal cycling and humidity, making it suitable for diverse applications across rubbers, plastics, and metals. The product is a one-part, medium-viscosity adhesive that cures with atmospheric humidity.


2. Applications

  • Bonds rubbers, plastics, and metals
  • Used where heat resistance and thermal cycling stability are required
  • Suitable for structural bonding in industrial applications

3. Typical Properties

Uncured Properties

Property Value
Specific Gravity @ 25°C 1.1
Viscosity (Brookfield, 25°C) 400 to 600 mPa·s (cP)
Appearance (uncured) Transparent, colorless to pale yellow

Curing Performance

  • Fixture Time (22°C, 50% RH):
    • Steel: 20 to 30 sec
    • Aluminum: 2 to 10 sec
    • ABS: 5 to 10 sec
    • Phenolic: 10 to 20 sec
  • Curing is dependent on substrate and bond gap
  • Activator can be used for faster curing but may reduce bond strength
