Henkel Introduces Three New Loctite® Adhesives for Magnet Bonding



Rocky Hill, Conn. - Magnets in today's electric motors are almost exclusively assembled using adhesives, which produce higher quality joints at lower costs than mechanical fasteners. To make magnet bonding faster, stronger and more reliable, Henkel has introduced three new Loctite® adhesives ideal for bonding ferrite, neodymium/iron, and alnico magnets used in electric motors, speakers, small engines, computer storage devices, power hand tools and other devices.

All three new products offer faster fixturing, higher temperature resistance, greater impact and shear strength, improved moisture resistance, easier processing, and extended shelf lives. All formulations are acid-free and non-corrosive.

Loctite® 331(TM) Structural Adhesive is a toughened, acid-free, two-step acrylic that fixtures in just 20 seconds and develops full strength in 30 minutes. This high temperature formulation is activator cured and ideal for bonding close-fitting magnets and metals of all sizes. Capable of filling small to medium gaps, this product can be used in a range of production volumes.

Loctite® 3060(TM) Structural Adhesive is a toughened, acid-free, two-component, external-mix acrylic that is ideal for filling large gaps. Two cascading adhesive streams automatically mix together, eliminating the need for static mixers or activators. Loctite® 3060(TM) Structural Adhesive offers fast fixture speeds with high temperature resistance, is ideal for use on medium to large magnets, and works well in medium to high volume production environments.

Loctite® E-220IC(TM) Hysol® Epoxy Adhesive is a toughened, acid-free, one-component epoxy designed for induction cure operations. Loctite® E-220IC(TM) Hysol® Epoxy Adhesive offers ultra-fast fixture speeds, high gap-filling capability, exceptional strengths, and excellent temperature resistance. The product is ideal for use on medium to large magnets and works well in any production volume.
