1. Product Overview

LOCTITE® EA M-31CL™ is a two-part, medical-grade epoxy adhesive that cures at room temperature to form an ultra-clear, high-strength bondline with minimal shrinkage. It combines excellent impact resistance, dimensional stability, and resistance to chemicals and solvents, while maintaining optical clarity. Tested to ISO-10993 protocols, it is suitable for medical device assembly. The cured epoxy demonstrates outstanding structural, mechanical, and electrical insulating properties, with reliability across a wide temperature range.


2. Applications

  • Bonding of glass, ceramics, metals, optical fibers, and rigid plastics

  • Potting, staking, and laminating applications requiring optical clarity

  • Assembly of disposable medical devices

  • Structural bonding where high transparency and resistance to chemicals are essential
