Product description
LOCTITE 480 50 g – black rubber-toughened cyanoacrylate adhesive for metals plastics and elastomers
LOCTITE 480 is a one-part black low-viscosity cyanoacrylate instant adhesive toughened with rubber. It is designed for fast bonding of close-fitting parts made from metals elastomers and suitable plastics.
The toughened formulation provides enhanced resistance to impact peel and shear loads compared with conventional rigid instant adhesives. This makes LOCTITE 480 particularly useful where bonded parts may be exposed to shock vibration or local mechanical stresses.
What is LOCTITE 480 used for?
LOCTITE 480 is intended for bonding close-fitting components made from materials including metals elastomers and plastics. It is suitable for manufacturing assembly maintenance and repair applications where a fast and mechanically resistant bond is required.
The rubber-toughened formulation is especially useful where a conventional cyanoacrylate adhesive could be too rigid. It improves impact and peel resistance while retaining the fast fixture characteristics of instant adhesive technology.
Key properties
Rubber toughened – provides improved resistance to impact peel and mechanical loading.
Low viscosity – allows easy application of a thin adhesive layer between accurately fitting surfaces.
Fast fixture – fixture time on steel is approximately 90 seconds under standard test conditions.
Black colour – makes the adhesive easier to identify during application and can suit assemblies containing dark components.
Temperature resistance – the cured bond can operate from -40°C to +100°C.
How to apply LOCTITE 480
Bonding surfaces should be clean dry and free from grease. Apply a small amount of adhesive to one surface then assemble the parts promptly and hold them in position until sufficient fixture strength has developed.
Cyanoacrylate adhesives cure through moisture present on the surfaces and in the surrounding air. Actual fixture time depends on substrate type bond gap temperature and relative humidity. Functional properties continue to develop as the adhesive cures and full chemical and solvent resistance develops later in the curing process.

FAQ
How is LOCTITE 480 different from a conventional cyanoacrylate adhesive?
LOCTITE 480 is rubber toughened which allows the cured bond to better resist impact peel and mechanical stresses than a typical rigid instant adhesive.
Can LOCTITE 480 bond metals?
Yes. Metals are one of the main substrate groups specified by the manufacturer. The adhesive is designed primarily for close-fitting parts and thin bond gaps.
Can LOCTITE 480 bond rubber?
Yes. Elastomers are one of the principal substrate groups recommended by the manufacturer.
Can LOCTITE 480 bond plastics?
Yes. It is also intended for suitable plastics. For difficult-to-bond or unidentified plastics an adhesion test on the actual part is recommended.
How quickly does LOCTITE 480 fixture?
Fixture time depends on substrate and application conditions. On steel the manufacturer specifies approximately 90 seconds. Other substrates may fixture faster or slower.
Can LOCTITE 480 fill large gaps?
No. It is designed for close-fitting parts. The specified maximum gap fill is 0.18 mm.
What is the operating temperature range?
The stated operating temperature range of the cured adhesive is from -40°C to +100°C.
