LOCTITE® EA E-214HP™ is a light paste, industrial grade
epoxy adhesive. This one-component, no-mix, heat activated
formulation develops tough, strong, structural bonds which
provide excellent peel resistance and impact strength. When
fully cured, the epoxy offers superior thermal shock resistance,
excellent mechanical and electrical properties, and withstands
exposure to a wide variety of solvents and chemicals. This
product bonds to a wide variety of materials, including metals,
glass, ceramics and plastics.

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, remove surface
   contaminants such as paint, oxide films, oils, dust, mold
   release agents and all other surface contaminants.
2. Use gloves to minimize skin contact. DO NOT use
   solvents for cleaning hands.
3. For maximum bond strength apply adhesive evenly to
   both surfaces to be joined.
4. Join the adhesive coated surfaces and allow to cure at
   120 °C or above until completely firm. Heat up to 150 °C
   for 2 hours, will maximize properties.
5. Keep parts from moving during cure. Contact pressure is
   neccesary. Maximum shear strength is obtained with a
   0.08 to 0.13 mm bond line.
6. Excessive uncured adhesive can be cleaned up with
   ketone type solvents.

Handling Precautions

LOCTITE® EA E-214HP™ reacts quickly when exposed to
temperatures above 120°C. This product evolves heat
(exotherms) during the solidification reaction. Care should be
taken to avoid the use of LOCTITE® EA E-214HP™ in sections
greater than 6 mm to avoid excessive heat build up during the
exothermic reaction, which causes rapid expansion, blistering
or cracking of the product.
