Markets
Applications
  • Penetrates threads by capillary action. Medium strength thread-locker.
  • Ideal for sealing hairline cracks, small nuts and bolts.
  • Seals and welds porous metal parts. Localize heating and hand tools are needed for disassembly. Prevents corrosion and leakage.
  • Secure setscrews and other assemblies after settings are completed.
  • Fasteners on vibrating machines or moving components.
  • Meets Military specifications: MIL-S-46163A Type III Grade R and MIL-S-22473 Letter Grade AA
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. This thread locker is specifically formulated to give controlled friction and torque/tension ratio during assembly.
