Loctite 277 High Strength Threadlocker 50ml
Available
Loctite 277 is a one-component, red, high strength anaerobic threadlocker (dimethacrylate ester). It is designed for the permanent locking and sealing of threaded fasteners.
Typical use: large bolts and studs (M25 and larger). It is a medium viscosity liquid of 6,000 to 8,000 mPa·s, and it fluoresces under UV light for inspection.
Where this product is used
- Permanent locking and sealing of large bolts and studs, M25 and larger
- Threaded fasteners that are not meant for routine removal
- Fasteners where the applied product is checked under UV light
- Assemblies where an activator is used as a secondary cure
Features
- High strength, for permanent locking and sealing
- Medium viscosity, not a high viscosity grade
- One component, no mixing
- Red liquid, fluorescence positive under UV light
- 32 N·m breakaway torque on M10 steel (24 h at 22 °C)
- Tested to the lot requirements of MIL-S-46163A (regional approval)
- Removable with localised heat to about 250 °C

Using it
Where an activator is needed, Loctite SF 7471 and SF 7649 are the secondary cure.
To disassemble, apply localised heat to the nut or bolt to approximately 250 °C and disassemble while hot.
Cure speed depends on the materials, the gap and the temperature.
Cold strength was tested to -75 °C, and it shows hot strength from -50 to 150 °C as a graph only.
Storage and handling
Store unopened in a dry location. Temperature range 8 °C to 21 °C as the optimal range. Storage below 8 °C or above 28 °C can adversely affect the properties of the product.
Limits and safety
Not recommended for pure oxygen or oxygen-rich systems, or as a sealant for chlorine or other strong oxidisers. Not normally recommended for plastics, as stress cracking can occur. Check compatibility with aqueous washing systems. Read the safety data sheet before use.
