Loctite E-05CL Hysol Epoxy Adhesive

Loctite E-05CL Hysol Epoxy Adhesive

• Shear Strength, Steel : 1430 psi
• Storage Temperature : 46 - 82 °F
• Viscosity : 2500 mPa.s (cP) Brookfield
• Color : Clear: Ultra Clear
• Curing Type : Room Temperature (Ambient) Cure
• Application : Bonding

LOCTITE® EA E-05CL is an ultra clear, 2-part, fast-setting, toughened, medium viscosity, industrial grade epoxy adhesive. Once mixed, it cures at room temperature with low shrinkage and forms an ultra-clear bond line with excellent peel resistance. When fully cured, the epoxy is resistant to a wide range of chemicals and solvents, and acts as an excellent electrical insulator.

• Fast setting at room temperature with low shrinkage
• Excellent peel resistance
• Resistant to a wide range of chemicals and solvents
• Excellent electrical insulator
• Well suited for applications that require an ultra clear bond line

LOCTITE® EA E-05CL is a fast-setting, toughened, mediumviscosity, industrial grade epoxy adhesive. Once mixed, the
two-component epoxy cures at room temperature with low
shrinkage and forms an ultra-clear bond line with excellent peel
resistance. When fully cured, the epoxy is resistant to a wide
range of chemicals and solvents, and acts as an excellent
electrical insulator.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

Ideal for bonding plastic, metal, glass, wood, ceramic, rubber,
and masonry materials where flexibility is needed. Designed
for a variety of applications such as flex circuits, cable boots,
and staking fillet bonds. Well suited for applications that require
an ultra-clear bond line.

bondline gap of 3 to 9 mils and tested according to ASTM D1002.

GENERAL INFORMATION

This product is not recommended for use in pure oxygen
and/or oxygen rich systems and should not be selected as
a sealant for chlorine or other strong oxidizing materials.
For safe handling information on this product, consult the
Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).

Directions For Use:

1. For high strength structural bonds, removal of surface
   contaminates such as paint, oxide films, oils, dust, mold
   release agents and all other surface contaminates.
2. Use gloves to minimize skin contact. DO NOT use solvents
   for cleaning hands.
3. Dual Cartridges: To use simply insert the cartridge into the
   application gun and start the plunger into the cylinders using
   light pressure on the trigger. Next, remove the cartridge cap
   and expel a small amount of adhesive to be sure both sides
   are flowing evenly and freely. If automatic mixing of resin
   and hardener is desired, attach the mixing nozzle to the end
   of the cartridge and begin dispensing the adhesive. For
   hand mixing, expel the desired amount of the adhesive and
   mix thoroughly. Mix approximately 15 seconds after uniform
   color is obtained. Bulk Containers: Mix thoroughly by
   weight or volume in the proportions specified in Properties
   of Uncured Material section. Mix vigorously approximately
   15 seconds after uniform color is obtained.
4. For maximum bond strength apply adhesive evenly to both
   surfaces to be joined.
5. Application to the substrates should be made within 3
   minutes. Larger quantities and/or higher temperatures will
   reduce this working time.
6. Join the adhesive coated surfaces and allow to cure at 25C
   (77F) for 24 hours for high strength. Heat up to 93C
   (200F), will speed curing.
7. Keep parts from moving during cure. Contact pressure is
   necessary. Maximum shear strength is obtained with a 3-9
   mil bond line.
8. Excess uncured adhesive can be cleaned up with ketone
   type solvents.

Storage

Product shall be ideally stored in a cool, dry location in
unopened containers at a temperature between 8C to 28C
(46F to 82F) unless otherwise labeled. Optimal storage is at
the lower half of this temperature range. To prevent
contamination of unused product, do not return any material to
its original container. For further specific shelf life information,
contact your local Technical Service Center.

Data Ranges

The data contained herein may be reported as a typical value
and/or range. Values are based on actual test data and are
verified on a periodic basis.
