Quick Guide to Choosing the Right LOCTITE® Product

Choosing the Right LOCTITE® Product

LOCTITE® offers a variety of adhesives tailored for specific applications. Here's a quick rundown to help you choose:

• Threadlockers: Ideal for preventing unwanted movement, loosening, leaks, and corrosion on nuts, bolts, and threaded parts. They resist vibration and are perfect for securing fasteners.

• Thread Sealants: Designed to seal threaded pipes and fittings, preventing leaks of gases and liquids. They cure to form a strong seal that resists pressure and vibration.

• Retaining Compounds: Used to bond non-threaded, cylindrical metal assemblies. They fill the inner gaps between components and cure to form a strong, precision assembly.

• Instant Adhesives: Also known as super glues, these are fast-curing adhesives ideal for bonding small to medium-sized parts. They work well on a variety of substrates, including plastics and elastomers.

Handy Tips

• Surface Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean and free from contaminants for optimal bonding.

• Primer Use: For inactive metals or low-temperature applications, using a primer can speed up the curing process.
