1 min read

Loxeal Instant Flex is a new concept in the field of cyanoacrylate adhesives offering flexibility and sealing properties whilst maintaining speed of a regular cyanoacrylate.

CA Flex are modified cyanoacrylates with different elongation rates of up to 500% and a soft to medium/hard consistency.

Thanks to their flexibility they’re capable of bonding soft and porous substrate materials, helping to maintain the flexibility and uniformity of the bonded materials.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS.

  • Highly Flexible
  • Single component – no mixing required
  • Solvent free – to minimise workplace hazard
  • Moisture cure mechanism – no curing equipment required
  • Fills porosities
  • Good thermal shock resistance
  • Excellent impact resistance
  • Ideal for use on dissimilar surfaces
  • Clear, colourless appearance
  • Available in a range of different viscosities
  • High elongation, up to 500%

TYPICAL USES.

  • Bonding rubber belts and O rings
  • Temporary repairing belts in industrial plants
  • Gasketing for window frames
  • Sealing plastic screws
  • Bonding loud-speaker cones
  • Neoprene for medical devices
  • Fabrics for furniture
  • Bonding flexible doors in industrial plants
  • Exterior curtains and tents
  • Bonding soft PVC
  • Bonding rubber to carbon fibre for automotive
  • Medical devices (ISO 10993-5 cytotoxicity approval can be obtained)
  • Assembling foams (ie: sport or protective masks)

IS FLEX 81, 82 and 88: maintain cure speed of a regular cyanoacrylate whilst providing extraordinary flexibility, high elongation and good mechanical strength.

IS FLEX 81: low viscosity for capillary penetration into preassembled parts.

IS FLEX 82: medium viscosity, better mechanical strength performances.

IS FLEX 88: high viscosity and thixotropy to fill large gaps and vertical bonding.

IS FLEX 83 and 83HT: are designed for temporary or easy removable bonding. They provide extraordinary flexibility and good sealing properties whilst maintaining cure speed of a regular cyanoacrylate.

IS FLEX 83: low viscosity for capillary penetration into preassembled parts.

IS FLEX 83HT: high viscosity and thixotropy to fill large gaps and vertical bonding.
