Detailed Product Description:

Loctite Hysol 9430 is a two-part modified epoxy structural adhesive that attains structural

properties after a room temperature cure.  It is formulated to give a combination of very

high peel strength along with excellent shear strength.  The tough, flexible nature of this

adhesive makes it a perfect choice for bonding dissimilar materials including aluminum,

carbon fiber, fiberglass, steel, stainless, etc. and for assemblies with clearances (bond line

thicknesses) of up to 0.100”.

Often used by custom builders for assembly of carbon fiber bicycle frames, (Trek, for example)

Hysol 9430 is convenient to use and easy to cure while developing tensile strengths up to

5,300 psi, shear strength of 4,700 psi and a modulus of elasticity of 380,000 psi.
