Loctite 414 1oz Super Bonder® Instant Adhesive
Loctite 414 — Super Bonder® Instant Adhesive, 1 oz
Loctite 414 Super Bonder® is a general-purpose cyanoacrylate (CA) instant adhesive formulated for bonding plastics, rubber, and metals. Its low viscosity allows it to wick into tight-fitting joints, making it ideal for close-tolerance assemblies in electronics, industrial, and manufacturing applications. Fast fixture time and strong bond strength make it a go-to CA for production and MRO use.

Frequently Asked Questions
What plastics does Loctite 414 bond well to?
Loctite 414 bonds well to most plastics including ABS, acrylic, polycarbonate, PVC, nylon, and phenolic. Difficult-to-bond plastics such as polyethylene, polypropylene, and PTFE require a surface primer (such as Loctite 770) for adequate adhesion.
What is the difference between Loctite 414 and other Super Bonder grades?
Loctite offers multiple Super Bonder grades with different viscosities and performance profiles. 414 is a low-viscosity general-purpose grade. Higher-viscosity grades (e.g., 416, 454) are better for gap-filling or vertical surface applications.
How fast does Loctite 414 cure?
Fixture time on most plastics is seconds to under a minute. Full cure develops over 24 hours. Higher humidity accelerates cure; very dry conditions or acidic surfaces may slow it.
Is Loctite 414 safe to use on electronics?
With caution — cyanoacrylates emit vapors during cure that can cause white haze (blooming) on nearby surfaces. Ensure adequate ventilation and avoid applying near sensitive optical components or connectors.
How should Loctite 414 be stored?
Store in a cool, dry location away from moisture. Refrigeration (35–50°F) extends shelf life. Always replace the cap immediately after use to prevent moisture-initiated cure in the bottle.
