    Epoxy adhesives are two-part adhesives that need to be mixed. The size listed is the combined total of the two parts.
    Model Number 2151—Loctite® 2151 resist salts, mild acids, and oils. They can also handle sudden impacts and shocks.
    120 hr. Reaches Full Strength—Epoxy adhesives that reach full strength in 120 hrs. are flexible, making them ideal for bonding dissimilar materials that may shift or expand differently under heat.
    ASTM E595—Adhesives that meet ASTM E595, a standard used by NASA, release almost no volatile emissions that could damage sensitive electronics, even in a vacuum.

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Electrically Insulating Adhesives. Insulating Adhesives for Electronics, Plastic.
    Plastic adhesives create an instant bond, so they’re the best choice for automated assembly lines. The bond is weaker than that of epoxy and cyanoacrylate adhesives, but it’s sufficient for attaching heat sinks. Since they remain tacky, you can detach and reposition parts.
    ASTM E595—Adhesives that meet ASTM E595, a standard used by NASA, release almost no volatile emissions that could damage sensitive electronics, even in a vacuum.
