Loctite EA E-30CL (formerly Hysol E-30CL) is a premier industrial-grade epoxy known for its exceptional optical clarity. Unlike standard clear epoxies that may yellow or cloud, E-30CL cures to a crystal-clear, glass-like finish. Its low viscosity allows it to flow easily for potting applications, while its 30-minute work life provides ample time for positioning delicate components like lenses, fiber optics, or glass assemblies.
Compatible Popular and Unique Surfaces
- Transparent Materials: Glass, Crystal, Optical Fibers, Acrylic, Polycarbonate.
- Ceramics: China, Pottery, Porcelain.
- Metals: Aluminum, Steel, Brass (for jewelry settings).
Unique and Call-Out Features
- Optical Clarity: Ideal for invisible bond lines on glass, crystal, and clear plastics.
- Low Viscosity: Thin consistency (10,000 cP) allows it to flow into tight gaps, self-level, and pot small electronic assemblies.
- Extended Work Life: 30-minute open time allows for degassing (bubble removal) and complex assembly adjustments.
- Impact Resistant: Cures to a tough, rigid solid that resists mechanical shock better than brittle 5-minute epoxies.
Specifications
- Work Life: 30 Minutes
- Full Cure: 24 Hours
- Color: Ultra Clear
- Hardness: 85 Shore D
- Dielectric Strength: 500 V/mil
Product Name
Loctite EA E-30CL (formerly Hysol)
Brief Description
A low-viscosity, ultra-clear epoxy adhesive designed for bonding glass, optics, and potting applications.

- Invisible bonding of glass and crystal
- Potting LEDs and optical sensors
- Laminating fiber optics
- Jewelry manufacturing and repair
- General assembly requiring aesthetic finish
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Optics & Photonics
- Electronics Assembly
- Furniture (Glass bonding)
- Jewelry & Crafts
Special and Unique Features
- Crystal Clear (Glass-like cure)
- Low viscosity / Self-leveling
- Minimal shrinkage
- Electrical insulator (Potting grade)
Key Properties
- Mix Ratio: 2:1
- Viscosity: Low Flowable (~10,000 cP)
- Tensile Strength: 8,000 psi
Compatibility
- Glass and Ceramics
- Optical Fibers
- Rigid Plastics (Acrylic, Polycarbonate)
- Metals
Known backups / known substitutes
