For best performance, pair with this Loxeal product: 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 Specifications Chemistry Two-part epoxy (resin / amine hardener) Colour (mixed) Colourless / transparent Mixing ratio 1:1 by volume Pot life (+25°C) 3-8 minutes Functional cure 20-30 minutes Shear strength (steel, ISO 4587) 12-14 N/mm2 Peel strength (ISO 4578) 4-20 N/25mm Hardness Shore D 65-75 Gap fill 0.1-2.0 mm Service temperature -40°C to +80°C Pack size 50ml dual cartridge (DCT) with mixing nozzle Shelf life 1 year unopened at +5°C to +25°C Important notes Not suitable for rubber, soft materials, polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP) or PTFE Apply at temperatures above +15°C; higher temperatures shorten pot life Avoid mixing large volumes at once – the chemical reaction generates heat Store in a cool, dry place at no more than +25°C Safety Consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) before use. Work in a well-ventilated area, avoid skin and eye contact, and keep out of reach of children. Product information is provided as a general guide only.
