Loxeal Istant 23 Super Glue Fluid Cyanoacrylate Adhesive 100g
Loxeal Istant 23 is a fluid, general purpose super glue built on ethyl cyanoacrylate chemistry. Its low viscosity (40–80 mPa·s) wicks neatly into close-fitting joints, and it bonds rubber, metal and most plastics in seconds by reacting with trace moisture on the surfaces. The medium setting speed leaves a short window to seat parts accurately before the adhesive grabs. This 100g workshop bottle is the economical choice for production lines, maintenance teams and busy workshops that go through super glue regularly.
Why choose Loxeal Istant 23?
-
Trade-size 100g bottle – keeps high-use workshops and production benches running
-
Fluid, self-wicking formula – flows into tight joints with gaps of 10–60 microns
-
Fast fixture – grabs in as little as 3–30 seconds on common plastics and metals
-
Genuinely versatile – one bottle covers rubber, metals and most rigid plastics
-
Solvent-free, single part – clear cure with tensile strength of 12–25 N/mm²
Typical applications
- Production assembly and repetitive bonding tasks
- O-rings, seals and neoprene/NBR rubber components
- Maintenance and repair across rubber, metal and plastic parts
- Workshops and trades that need a reliable everyday instant adhesive in volume
How to use
- Clean and degrease both surfaces and allow them to dry fully.
- Apply a small amount of adhesive to one surface only – with super glue, less is more.
- Bring the parts together promptly, align, and hold with light pressure for a few seconds.
- Leave the joint undisturbed while strength develops; avoid heavy loads until fully cured.
Cure times
Fixture speed depends on the substrate, gap, temperature and humidity. Typical fixture times: neoprene/NBR under 5 seconds; PVC 3–10 seconds; aluminium 5–15 seconds; steel 10–30 seconds; ABS 10–30 seconds; zinc 30–90 seconds. Allow up to 24 hours for full strength. If setting is too slow, pair it with Loxeal Activator 9; for polyethylene, polypropylene, silicone rubber or PTFE, prime first with Loxeal Primer 7.

Important notes
-
Bonds skin instantly – avoid contact with skin and eyes, and keep away from children.
- Store in a cool, dry place below +20°C; refrigeration at +2°C/+7°C extends shelf life. Do not refill containers with used product.
- Prolonged exposure to very humid conditions can reduce long-term bond strength.
Safety
Consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) before use. Use in a well-ventilated area and wear suitable protection when handling.
