SONLOK® 3620 is a high viscosity; high strength anaerobic retaining compound for cylindrical fitting parts particularly where bond gaps can approach 0.25mm (0.01”). High temperature resistance up to 200°C. SONLOK® 3620 retaining compound is a single component anaerobic adhesive, which develops high strength rapidly when confined in the absence of air between close fitting metal surfaces.

Applications
  • Ideal to fill gaps up to 0.25 mm (0.01”) diameter clearance.
  • High temperature resistance up to 20°C.
  • Used for locating pins in radiator assemblies.
  • Retains sleeves into pump housings and bearings in auto transmissions.
Directions for use

For Assembly

  • For best results, clean all surfaces (external and internal) with a cleaning solvent and allow solvent to evaporate.
  • If the material is an inactive metal or the cure speed is to0 slow, spray with Activator 3071 or 3049 and allow to dry.
  • For Slip Fitted Assemblies, apply adhesive around the leading edge of the pin and the inside of the collar and use a rotating motion during assembly to ensure good coverage.
  • For Press Fitted Assemblies, apply adhesive thoroughly to both bond surfaces and assemble at high press on rates.
  • For Shrink Fitted Assemblies the adhesive should be coated onto the pin, the collar should then be heated to create sufficient clearance for free assembly.
  • Parts should not be disturbed until sufficient handling strength is achieved.

For Disassembly

  • Apply localized heat to the assembly to approximately 250°C. Disassemble while hot.
