This amber-colored epoxy is designed for general-purpose industrial assembly where strong physical bonds are required. It is particularly effective for bonding semi-porous materials, such as ferrites. : Technology : Two-component epoxy adhesive. Appearance : Translucent amber liquid.
: To prevent premature curing and maintain shelf life, it must be stored at -40°C .
Industrial users rely on this material for its stable uncured properties and high shear strength once fully cured. Value/Detail 5,000 mPa·s (cP) @ 25°C Work Life ~8 hours at 25°C Shelf Life 365 days from date of manufacture when stored at -40°C Lap Shear Strength 29.0 N/mm² (Aluminum to Aluminum at 25°C) Storage and Handling Because of its chemical composition, LOCTITE ABLESTIK 342-3.5 requires strict temperature controls.
: Before use, the container must reach room temperature naturally to ensure proper flow and avoid entrapment of moisture or air. Applications
It is primarily used in for bonding components that do not require a chemical bond but need high physical durability. Its ability to withstand thermal shock makes it a standard choice for parts exposed to fluctuating environmental conditions. A comparison with other LOCTITE ABLESTIK variants.
: Can be cured at room temperature (48 hours) or accelerated with heat (e.g., 1 hour at 120°C).
, a high-performance two-component epoxy adhesive manufactured by Henkel. While "26959" is often associated with a replacement fuel cap for kerosene heaters, in this specific numerical combination, it acts as a reference for this specialized industrial adhesive. LOCTITE ABLESTIK 342-3.5 Overview
