Epoxy Structural Adhesives

Epoxies are the strongest and most weather- and chemical-resistant structural adhesives. They work especially well on metals. The size listed is the combined total of the two parts.

Threadlockers

Prevent threaded fasteners from loosening due to shock and vibration. These threadlockers begin to harden once coated surfaces are threaded together and exposure to air is blocked. Primer (sold separately) cleans the surface and decreases the time to reach full strength. It is recommended when working with aluminum, stainless steel, and titanium; black-oxide finishes; and cadmium and zinc coatings.

Threadlockers with medium locking strength require a hand tool to unthread.

2432 works especially well on stainless steel and titanium. It's suitable for use in nuclear applications.

High-Temperature Threadlockers

Keep threaded fasteners from loosening at temperatures up to 450° F. These threadlockers begin to harden once coated surfaces are threaded together and exposure to air is blocked.

Primer (sold separately) cleans the surface and decreases the time to reach full strength. It is recommended when working with aluminum, stainless steel, and titanium; black-oxide finishes, and cadmium and zinc coatings.

Threadlockers with medium locking strength require a hand tool to unthread.

Oil-Resistant Sealants

Make tough, flexible, oil-resistant seals. These sealants are non-sagging, so they won't drip from vertical and overhead surfaces. Made from silicone, sealants are RTV (room-temperature vulcanizing). Note: These sealants are not for use on parts that come into contact with gasoline.

Elongation and joint expansion/compression tolerance indicate flexibility—the higher the values are, the more joint movement sealants can sustain. These sealants are best suited to joints between similar materials that aren't exposed to wide temperature fluctuation.
