LOCTITE AA 3060
Harmonization Code : 3403.19 | Lubricating Preparations (With 70% or More Petroleum Oils) For Automotive and Other Uses
Main features
- Rapid 30-120-Second Steel Fixture
- Thixotropic 1:1 External Mixing
- High-Impact Magnet Bonding
Product Description
LOCTITE AA 3060 is a two-component thixotropic methacrylate structural adhesive for bonding magnets and metal assemblies. The externally mixed Part A and Part B system uses a 1:1 ratio, produces a green-blue mixture, and has an open time of 150 seconds maximum at 22 deg C. Fixture time on as-received steel is 30 to 120 seconds, based on development of 0.1 N/mm^2 shear strength. After 48 hours at 25 deg C, lap shear strength is 13 N/mm^2 for grit-blasted steel to ferrite and 15 N/mm^2 for grit-blasted steel to neodymium. Applications include ferrite and rare-earth magnets bonded to motor rotors and stators.
Key features
- External 1:1 mixing: Part A and Part B are externally mixed at a 1:1 ratio to form a green-blue thixotropic adhesive.
- Rapid steel fixture: Fixture time is 30 to 120 seconds on as-received steel at the 0.1 N/mm^2 shear-strength threshold.
- Magnet bond performance: Lap shear strength reaches 13 N/mm^2 on grit-blasted steel to ferrite and 15 N/mm^2 on grit-blasted steel to neodymium after 48 hours at 25 deg C.
Applications
Applications include bonding ferrite and rare-earth magnets to metal rotors and stators in fractional-horsepower motors, plus structural bonding of metals.
