We've got a fun and friendly guide to help you navigate the sticky world of adhesives. 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. Explore LOCTITE® Products Ready to get started?
