Product Description
LOCTITE® ABLESTIK CA 3556HF is an electrically conductive, acrylate adhesive designed for applications that require a very fast cure at low temperatures. It is ideally suited for high throughput production processes and applications where high peel strength is desired.
LOCTITE® ABLESTIK CA 3556HF is a snap cure with excellent flexibility and low contact resistance, mainly suited for noble metal surfaces such as Gold, Silver etc. Its operating temperature is between -45 and 125°C.
Cure Schedule
- 120 seconds @ 110°C or
LOCTITE ABLESTIK CA 3556HF may be cured using a thermode unit or any other efficient method of rapid heat transfer

| Pot Life Pot Life Pot life is the amount of time it takes for the viscosity of a material to double (or quadruple for lower viscosity materials) in room temperature after a material is mixed. It is closely related to work life but it is not application dependent, less precise and more of a general indication of how fast a system is going to cure. | 48 hours | ||||
| Specific Gravity Specific Gravity Specific gravity (SG) is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance; equivalently, it is the ratio of the mass of a substance to the mass of a reference substance for the same given volume. For liquids, the reference substance is almost always water (1), while for gases, it is air (1.18) at room temperature. Specific gravity is unitless. | 4.5 | ||||

| Viscosity Viscosity Viscosity is a measurement of a fluid’s resistance to flow. Viscosity is commonly measured in centiPoise (cP). One cP is defined as the viscosity of water and all other viscosities are derived from this base. MPa is another common unit with a 1:1 conversion to cP. A product like honey would have a much higher viscosity -around 10,000 cPs- compared to water. As a result, honey would flow much slower out of a tipped glass than water would. The viscosity of a material can be decreased with an increase in temperature in order to better suit an application | 31,500 mPa.s | ||||

| Glass Transition Temperature (Tg) Glass Transition Temperature (Tg) The glass transition temperature for organic adhesives is a temperature region where the polymers change from glassy and brittle to soft and rubbery. Increasing the temperature further continues the softening process as the viscosity drops too. Temperatures between the glass transition temperature and below the decomposition point of the adhesive are the best region for bonding. The glass-transition temperature Tg of a material characterizes the range of temperatures over which this glass transition occurs. | -30 °C | ||||
