About Structural Adhesives

To speed cure time on coated fasteners, aluminum, stainless steel, or titanium, apply these primers before using threadlocker or retaining compound. They also work with no-mix acrylic adhesives.

Primers in brush-top bottles also include a spray head for easy dispensing.

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 low locking strength adjust easily with a hand tool.

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

Threadlockers with high locking strength require both heat and a hand tool to unthread.

087 is for coarse threads.

Heavy Duty Threadlockers

To withstand demanding, high-vibration applications such as motor and pump housings, these threadlockers have high breakaway torque. They begin to harden once coated surfaces are threaded together and exposure to air is blocked.

Wicking Threadlockers

Apply these threadlockers on fasteners that are already installed—their thin consistency allows them to flow into small gaps. They begin to harden once coated surfaces are threaded together and exposure to air is blocked.
