Loctite 272 High Strength - High Temperature Threadlocker 50ml
Available
Loctite 272 is a one-component, red-orange, high strength anaerobic threadlocker (dimethacrylate ester). It is designed for the permanent locking and sealing of threaded fasteners; typical use is large bolts and studs, M25 and larger.
For heat, compressive shear strength of at least 20 N/mm² tested at 200 °C, after 24 hours at 22 °C plus 72 hours at 200 °C. Resistance up to 232 °C.
Where this product is used
- Permanent locking and sealing of large bolts and studs, M25 and larger
- Threaded fasteners that see elevated temperature, within the 200 °C test data
- Powertrain, chassis and electric motor assemblies
- Joints with large gaps, where an activator can be used to improve cure speed
Features
- High strength, for permanent locking and sealing
- Red-orange liquid (uncured), one component, no mixing
- Viscosity 4,000 to 15,000 mPa·s (Brookfield RVT, spindle 4, 20rpm)
- At least 14.5 N/mm² compressive shear after 24 hours at 22 °C
- At least 20 N/mm² compressive shear tested at 200 °C after heat conditioning
- Anaerobic cure, with an activator as a secondary cure
- Removable with localised heat to about 250 °C

Choosing the right option
For bolts and studs up to M25, see Loctite 271 High Strength Threadlocker 50ml or Loctite 262 Acrylic Anaerobic Threadlocker Red 50ml. For a lower strength grade see Loctite 243 Medium Strength Threadlocker.
Loctite 277 High Strength Threadlocker 50ml carries the same M25 and larger typical use as this product.

Using it
To disassemble, apply localised heat to approximately 250 °C and disassemble while hot.
An activator can be used as a secondary cure, and can improve cure speed where the gap is large.
Cure speed depends on the materials, the gap and the temperature.
Its hot-strength graph covers 0 to 200 °C, shown as a percentage of the strength at 22 °C.
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
Use the hot-strength figures as a guide, and check your service conditions. Read the safety data sheet before use.
It is a one-component product that cures without air between close-fitting metal surfaces.
