Applications & Uses

Application Area
Applications
  • Ideal for thread locking heavy duty applications such as bolts used in transmission, construction equipment or railroad assemblies, etc.
  • Ideal for fasteners between ¼" and ¾" (6 to 20 mm) diameters.
  • Lubricated for easy assembly. Prevents loosening and leakage of threaded fasteners. Locks and seals threaded joints-nuts, screws, and studs.
  • Meets 90% of all nut and bolt thread locking applications.
  • Meets military specification: MIL-S-46163A Type II Grade O
Application Method

Surfaces should be dry, clean, and free of any contamination. Thread locker should be applied to the bolt in sufficient quantity to fill threads. Turbo-Lock 12 Series performs the best in thin bond gaps. This thread locker is specifically formulated to give controlled friction and torque/tension ratio during assembly.
