409 is a general purpose cyanoacrylate adhesive
gel. The gel consistency prevents adhesive flow even on
vertical surfaces.

TYPICAL CURING PERFORMANCE
Under normal conditions, the atmospheric moisture initiates the
curing process. Although full functional strength is developed
in a relatively short time, curing continues for at least 24 hours
before full chemical/solvent resistance is developed.
Cure Speed vs. Substrate
The rate of cure will depend on the substrate used. The table
below shows the fixture time achieved on different materials
at 22 °C / 50 % relative humidity. This is defined as the time to
develop a shear strength of 0.1 N/mm².
Fixture Time, seconds:
Steel (degreased)
50 to 100
Aluminum
5 to 30
Neoprene
15 to 25
Rubber, nitrile
15 to 25
ABS
20 to 60
PVC
50 to 100
Polycarbonate
40 to 80
Phenolic
20 to 50
Cure Speed vs. Bond Gap
The rate of cure will depend on the bondline gap. Thin bond
lines result in high cure speeds, increasing the bond gap will
decrease the rate of cure.
Cure Speed vs. Activator
Where cure speed is unacceptably long due to large gaps,
applying activator to the surface will improve cure speed.
However, this can reduce ultimate strength of the bond and
therefore testing is recommended to confirm effect.
