Loxeal Cleaner 10 Degreaser: abrade and degrease the surfaces first for a stronger, more durable bond.
Loxeal 31-42 Clear 5-Minute Epoxy Adhesive 50ml Dual Cartridge
Loxeal 31-42 is a two-part, fast-setting structural epoxy that cures colourless and transparent, making it ideal for repairs where the glue line needs to stay invisible. Supplied in a convenient 50ml dual cartridge (1:1 ratio) with a mixing nozzle, it dispenses perfectly proportioned adhesive with no weighing or hand mixing. With a working time of around 5 minutes and handling strength in 20–30 minutes, it bonds metals, ferrite, ceramic, marble, glass, concrete, wood and some rigid plastics.
Why choose Loxeal 31-42?
Dries clear – colourless, transparent bond line suits glass, ceramics and visible repairs
Fast 5-minute set – 3–8 minute working time, functional strength in 20–30 minutes
No-mess 1:1 dual cartridge with mixing nozzle for accurate, on-part dispensing
Gap filling from 0.1 to 2.0 mm for less-than-perfect joints
Durable bonds with excellent resistance to water, gasoline, motor oil and cooling gas
Easy enough for DIY, strong enough for the workshop
Typical applications
Structural bonding of metals, ferrite, ceramic, marble, glass, concrete and wood
Bonding some rigid plastics such as polyester, ABS and rigid PVC
Joining dissimilar materials in one fast operation
Household, automotive, hobby and workshop repairs needing a clear, rigid bond
How to use
Lightly abrade the surfaces, then degrease with Loxeal Cleaner 10 or acetone and allow to dry.
Fit the mixing nozzle to the cartridge and discard the first 3–5 cm of extruded adhesive.
Apply the mixed adhesive directly to one surface.
Assemble the parts immediately and hold them together, without mechanical stress, until handling strength is reached.
Remove uncured excess with acetone or a compatible solvent-based cleaner; cured adhesive can only be removed mechanically.
Cure times
Pot life (working time): 3–8 minutes at +25°C
Functional cure: 20–30 minutes at +25°C
Strength continues to develop over the following hours; gentle heat accelerates cure
