TECHNICAL DATA SHEET
Loctite® Epoxy 5 Minute Instant Mix™ is a two-part adhesive consisting of an epoxy
resin and a hardener. When mixed in equal volumes, the resin and hardener react to
produce a tough, rigid, high strength bond, which starts to set in 5 minutes and
reaches handling strength in 1 hour. The static mix nozzle delivers a uniform mixture
of resin and hardener every time. It can be used as an adhesive for a wide range of
materials or as a versatile filler for gap bonding, surface repairs and laminating.
Loctite® Epoxy 5 Minute Instant Mix™ does not shrink and is resistant to water and
most common solvents. It can be tinted with earth pigments, cement or sand for color
matching and can be sanded and drilled.
Bonding metal, glass, ceramic, wood, many rigid plastics, china, tile, fiberglass,
concrete and stone. Can be combined with fiberglass cloth for a durable patch.
 Polyethylene, polypropylene, Nylon , Teflon or flexible materials
 Continuously wet areas or water immersion.

Quick completion of project
Tools Typically Required:
Utility knife (for syringe)
Safety Precautions:
Well-ventilated area, gloves.
Preparation:
Protect work area. Surfaces must be clean, dry and free from oil, wax and paint. For better adhesion, roughen smooth surfaces prior to
cleaning. Pre-fit parts to be joined. Remove plastic cap from centre of plunger. Turn nozzle end up and pull plunger back slightly allowing air
bubbles to rise to top. Snap off and discard end of syringe. Dispense air. Insert nozzle opening and push past prongs. Rotate nozzle 90° to
lock into place.
Application:
Depress plunger to dispense equal amounts of hardener and resin directly onto surface to be filled or bonded. Remove and discard nozzle.
Wipe syringe tip immediately. Retract plunger slightly and close with the cap provided. Place objects together within 4 minutes of adhesive
application. Bond sets in 5 to 7 minutes at 68°F (20°C) to 77°F (25°C). For best results in butt joints, apply adhesive as a reinforcing filet or
splint over the joint for additional support. Remove any excess adhesive immediately with mineral spirits. Usable strength is obtained within 1
hour. Warmer temperatures will shorten the set time and cooler temperatures will lengthen it.
