How to use
Cleaning - It is recommended to use LOCTITE® SF 7070™ Cleaner & Degreaser to degrease and clean surfaces prior to applying adhesive.
Activation - If cure speed is too slow due to passive metals (stainless steel, aluminum and plated metals) or low temperatures (below 5°C), use LOCTITE® SF 7649™ activator. Allow to dry.
Apply a 360° bead to the leading male thread, leaving the first thread free. For bigger threads, apply both on male and female threads.
Assemble fittings using wrench tightening in accordance with manufacturers' recommendations.
Disassemble with standard hand tools. If not possible, apply localized heat to approximately 500°F/260°C; disassemble parts while hot. For corroded or seized parts use LOCTITE® LB 8040™ Freeze and Release.
FAQ
The standard continuous operating temperature range for LOCTITE® anaerobic adhesives is -65° to +300°F (-55°C to +150°C). Depending on the specific application requirements, high-performance grades are also available offering increased temperature resistance. Please consult with the Henkel technical team for availability and grade selection.
Yes, Henkel anaerobic adhesives become highly resistant thermoset polymers once cured, making them suitable for a vast number of applications. Many Henkel silicone adhesives offer excellent resistance to standard media like water/glycol, amongst other solutions. Consult our online product resources or contact our technical teams for further information.
All adhesives are compatible with metal substrates although bond strength and durability will vary depending on the technology selected. Anaerobic adhesives may cause stress-cracking in some sensitive polymers and therefore should generally be avoided on plastic parts. Consult Henkel technical teams for further advice as needed.
All necessary H&S measures and PPE (personal protection equipment) requirements can be found on the product material safety data sheet, all of which are available via our website.
