Loctite EA E-60HP Toughened 60-Min Set Epoxy Chemical Resistant, Medium Viscosity, Off-White Color

Product Name: Loctite EA E-60HP Toughened 60-Min Set Epoxy

Loctite EA E-60HP is a toughened, high-viscosity, industrial-grade epoxy adhesive known for its extended 60-minute work life. Like its counterpart E-20HP, it offers high peel and shear strength, but provides a longer open time, making it suitable for assembling larger or more complex components. It cures to a tough, off-white bond line with excellent resistance to shock, vibration, and chemical exposure.

Popular Applications & Uses
- Bonding large panels or structures where 20 minutes (E-20HP) is not enough time for assembly.
- Assembling parts that require precise alignment and adjustment over an hour.
- Bonding dissimilar materials like metal to plastic or glass to metal in high-stress environments.
- General industrial bonding requiring high impact resistance.
- Structural bonding in transportation and aerospace.

Industries that Commonly Use It
- Transportation (Truck, Bus, Rail)
- Aerospace (Interior components, secondary structures)
- General Industrial Manufacturing
- Construction
- Sports Equipment

Special and Unique Features
- Extended Work Life: 60-minute open time allows for stress-free assembly of medium-to-large parts.
- Toughened: Formulated with rubber modifiers to resist cracking under impact and peel loads.
- High Strength: Delivers excellent shear and tensile strength.
- Non-Sag: Thixotropic paste consistency prevents running on vertical surfaces.
- Electrical Insulator: Suitable for potting or bonding electrical components.

Known backups / known substitutes for this product
- 3M Scotch-Weld DP460 Off-White (High performance, toughened, long open time - very close competitor).
- Huntsman Araldite 2015 (Toughened paste).
- Loctite EA E-120HP (If you need even *more* time - 120 minutes).

Comparison Note
- Loctite EA E-60HP is the "middle brother" in the toughened epoxy family.
- **E-20HP:** 20 mins (Fast assembly)
- **E-60HP:** 60 mins (Medium/Large assembly)
- **E-120HP:** 120 mins (Large/Complex assembly)
All three offer similar high strength and toughness; the choice depends entirely on how much time you need to apply the glue and clamp the parts.
