LOCTITE SF 7070 cleaner and degreaser for plastics before bonding 400 ml

LOCTITE SF 7070 cleaner and degreaser for plastics before bonding

LOCTITE SF 7070 is a solvent-based cleaner and degreaser for surface preparation before bonding, developed especially for plastic parts. It removes most greases, oils, lubricating fluids, metal chips and fine particles, helping prepare the component for further assembly, bonding or service work. It is a practical choice when the issue is not the adhesive itself, but poor surface preparation.

Applications of LOCTITE SF 7070

This product is used as a final cleaning agent before applying adhesives and other assembly materials. It is suitable for preparing plastic parts in production, maintenance, service and workshop applications.

LOCTITE SF 7070 can be applied by spray or immersion at room temperature. It helps remove typical process contamination from surfaces intended for bonding, supporting more repeatable surface preparation.

What makes LOCTITE SF 7070 stand out

The key advantage of this product is the combination of effective cleaning performance and compatibility with most plastics. According to the manufacturer, LOCTITE SF 7070 does not cause stress cracking, which makes it suitable where more aggressive cleaners could damage plastic components.

It is also a practical solution for everyday operations: it does not require curing, it can be applied by spray or immersion bath, and it works well as a simple surface preparation step before bonding. For some industrial environments, the NSF K1 registration is also an important benefit.

When to choose LOCTITE SF 7070

Choose this product when you want to reduce the risk of bonding problems caused by oil, grease or other contamination on the surface. It is a good option before bonding plastic parts when you need a clean, prepared surface without unnecessarily increasing the risk of damaging the substrate.

LOCTITE SF 7070 is also a good fit where simplicity and repeatability matter: quick cleaning, solvent evaporation and a smooth transition to the next bonding or assembly step.

How to use LOCTITE SF 7070

Apply the product to the surface by spraying, or use it in an immersion cleaning process. Then remove the contamination with a clean wipe and allow the surface to dry completely.

After cleaning, it is best to move directly to the next process step and avoid touching the prepared bonding area again. ✅

What to consider before use

LOCTITE SF 7070 is a solvent-based product, so it should be used in accordance with the current manufacturer documentation and workplace safety procedures. It is not declared for direct food contact. The NSF K1 registration applies to cleaner/degreaser use in non-food processing areas.

Before implementing it in your process, it is worth checking that the cleaning method, evaporation time and surface preparation procedure are consistent with the requirements of the adhesive used.
