  • Electrically insulating for component protection

Precision Metal Bonding

Loctite 493 series instant adhesive is a clear, low-viscosity liquid designed for wicking into tight metal joints. The one-ounce bottle supplies enough material for multiple small assemblies or repair tasks. It cures on contact with surface moisture without the need for mixing or external activators.

Consistent Gap Performance

Viscosity ranges from 1 to 10 cps, allowing the adhesive to penetrate gaps as narrow as .002 in and form a continuous bond line. Cure speed remains predictable across the stated viscosity window, so joint strength does not vary unexpectedly between the first and last drop. The formulation is electrically insulating and intended for interior use only.

Replaces Bulkier Metal Epoxies

This adhesive replaces two-part epoxies where clamp pressure cannot be applied or where cure time must be measured in seconds rather than hours. The jump is worth it when bonding small metal components that demand capillary action and rapid handling strength. It is not suited for applications requiring impact resistance, large gap filling, or exterior exposure.

Questions about this item

Does the 10 cps viscosity mean the adhesive runs hot or draws power during all-day use?

The adhesive cures by moisture at room temperature and does not generate heat or consume power during application.

What other items are required to use the 493 series adhesive on metal parts?

Clean metal surfaces and, if faster curing is needed, Loctite SF 712 accelerator; no dispenser or applicator is included in the bottle.

Will the .002 in gap fill work on older metal components with wider wear gaps?

The adhesive is designed for gaps up to .002 in; larger gaps on worn parts may not achieve full strength.
