Description
Loctite EA 9235 (Five Minute E-Pox-E, item EFQ5) is a fast-acting two-part epoxy that mixes resin and hardener in equal parts to form a tough, rigid, high-strength bond in about five minutes.
Supplied in a dual-barrel syringe that dispenses both components in the correct 1:1 ratio every time, it is ideal for fast permanent repairs and multi-piece projects across a wide range of household, workshop and trade materials. Once cured it resists water and most common solvents, and can be sanded, drilled and machined. It can also be used as a versatile filler for gap filling, surface repairs and laminating.
Bonds: metal, glass, ceramic, china, tile, stone, concrete, wood, fibreglass and most rigid plastics.
Where to use it
Indoor: repairing ceramics, china and glassware, fixing tools and toys, bonding tiles, and general household and hobby repairs.
Outdoor: bonding stone, concrete and masonry, plus garden and workshop repairs. Not recommended for continuously wet areas or prolonged water immersion.
How to use
1. Make sure surfaces are clean, dry and free of oil, wax, paint and rust. Roughen smooth surfaces by sanding for a stronger grip.
2. Remove the plug and cut the syringe tip at the marked opening. Stand the syringe upright and press the plunger gently to expel any air.
3. Depress the double plunger to dispense equal parts of resin and hardener onto a disposable surface, then mix thoroughly for about one minute.
4. Apply to both surfaces within one to two minutes of mixing and press together. Support the join for around 10 minutes.
5. Usable strength is reached in about 1 hour and the bond fully cures in 24 hours. Wipe the tips clean and replace the plug for storage.
Clean uncured adhesive with acetone before it sets. Cured adhesive can be carefully cut away with a sharp blade.
Important notes
Not recommended for polyethylene, polypropylene, nylon, non-stick coatings or flexible materials. Not suitable for potable (drinking) water systems, prolonged water immersion, or short-term heat above 150°C. Apply between 4°C and 35°C.
