Loxeal 32 low-viscosity cyanoacrylate adhesive 20 g, clear fast-setting CA for metals, rubber and EPDM
Description
Loxeal cyanoacrylate adhesive 32 20 g is a single-component, very fast-curing CA adhesive with low viscosity, designed for bonding metals, rubber, EPDM and many plastics (except polyolefins). It forms a clear, strong bond, offers very high strength and extremely short setting times, which makes it ideal for assembling small parts.
Advantages and unique features
- Low viscosity – easily penetrates narrow gaps and capillaries.
- Very short fixture time in seconds – high process efficiency.
- High tensile and shear strength after full cure.
- Clear bond line – neat appearance on visible components.
- Wide substrate range: metals, rubber, EPDM, many plastics, wood, cork, paper, stone.
- Perfect for permanent bonding of small and precision parts.
- Can be used with activators to accelerate curing or increase gap-filling capability.
Properties and applications
- Adhesive type: single-component, ethyl-based cyanoacrylate adhesive with low viscosity, curing in contact with moisture from the air and surfaces.
- Typical substrates: metal, glass, rubber, EPDM, many plastics (except polyolefins), wood, cork, paper, stone.
- Fast bonding: typical fixture times are shorter than 2 to several tens of seconds depending on the substrate and joint gap.
- Small and precise components: recommended for small parts where repeatability and extremely short setting times are required.
- Industrial uses: mounting rubber and EPDM components on metal housings, bonding technical plastics, fine mechanical and electronic parts.
- Use with activators: activators can be used to bond difficult plastics and to create thicker, quickly curing adhesive layers.

Storage recommendations
Store Loxeal 32 in its original, tightly closed bottle in a dry, cool place at temperatures between +8 and +28 °C, away from heat sources and direct sunlight. After use, clean the dispensing tip and close the container immediately. Keep away from moisture, food and out of the reach of children.
FAQ
Which substrates are suitable for Loxeal cyanoacrylate adhesive 32?
It is suitable for bonding metals, rubber, EPDM, many plastics (except polyolefins) as well as glass, wood, cork, paper and stone.
How fast does Loxeal 32 cure?
Fixture time is very short – usually less than 2 to several tens of seconds depending on the substrate and joint configuration.
Is Loxeal 32 suitable for small parts?
Yes, its low viscosity and very fast setting make it particularly suitable for bonding small and precision components.
Can gap-filling or curing speed be increased?
Yes, suitable activators can be used to speed up polymerisation and to build thicker, highly durable joints.
What is the service temperature range of the cured bond?
After curing the adhesive maintains its properties in the temperature range of approximately -50 to +80 °C.
