Loctite 496 is a low-viscosity, one-part cyanoacrylate instant adhesive formulated for the bonding of metals. It gives rapid fixturing and high strength on close-fitting metal joints and is intended for thin bond gaps. Used by maintenance technicians and installation crews across industrial, marine and construction service.
