Maven EA 560CL is a crystal-clear (water-clear, transparent clear) 2-part 2:1 Ratio toughened epoxy adhesive and potting compound with the work life of approximately 60-80 minutes. When mixed they produce a tough transparent clear bond with high impact strength. Bonds wide range of metals, plastics, ceramics and rubber. It can be Machinable. Low shrinkage and good resistance water, wide range of chemicals, and many solvents.
Maven EA560CL is excellent as either a structural adhesive OR as a potting compound to fill spaces and voids, where transparent clarity is important.
EA560CL is a popular back-up/substitute material for:
- 3M DP270 Clear potting compound. Except for that EA560CL is transparent clear, whereas DP270 is transparent but with a yellow tint.
- Loctite E-30CL clear adhesive and potting compound
It has the unique feature of being transparent clear, crystal clear (clear as water). No yellow-tint, no amber-tint. This adhesive is excellent when a slower set time is needed, AND with transparent, crystal, water clear clarity.

Chemical resistance
Excellent resistant to solvents and many chemicals.
Directions of applications
Wipe off and degrease the surface to be bonded. For maximum bond
strength chemical etching of the surfaces is recommended. Dispense a
desirable amount of adhesive using a dispensing dispenser. For maximum
strength apply product on both surfaces to be bonded. A adhesive layer
thickness of 0.05 to 0.1mm would give maximum lap shear strength.
Join the substrates with in 80 minutes and allow it to cure at room
temperature. Do not disturb the parts during the curing process. Excess
adhesive can be wiped off.
