1 Cyanoacrylate Adhesives Instant assembly Instant versatility 1 2 3

2 Choices for instant performance and productivity... flexible bond line, low bloom, low odor, viscosities, and more Known as instant adhesives, Rite-Lok Cyanoacrylate Adhesives offer more than a range of seconds-fast bonding for substrates ranging from metal to plastic, wood to rubber. These liquid and gel formulations give you a wide selection of other properties to help improve production and end use. 3 Super fast curing Low odor High Temperature Bonds plastic riser into lipstick casing Reach handling strength in 5-20 seconds to speed production Reliable assembly of difficult-to-bond plastics and rubbers, and acidic surfaces such as wood, leather, and oily surfaces 4 Superior resistance to high temperature, thermal cycling and shock Engineered Grade 6 5 Rubber-toughened Low blooming/frosting for visual appeal; eliminates chlorosis (white residue at the joint) Reduces need for sophisticated ventilation equipment Flexible 9 Unique polymer maximizes resistance to impact, peel, and thermal cycling Flexible bond lines for bonding flexible and dissimilar substrates 7 Extended resistance to impact, vibration, stress, peel, and humidity Faster curing than rubber-toughened 8 Exceptional performance on difficult-to-bond plastics and rubbers, together or in combination with metals and/or composites Superior performance on PVC, ABS, nylon, EPDM, Santoprene, and Viton
