Anaerobic Threadlockers withstand heat and stress to 650°F.

Press Release Summary:




Suited for threaded assemblies that are continuously exposed to extreme temperatures, medium-strength Loctite® 2422(TM) is designed for applications where disassembly with hand tools is desired, while high-strength Loctite® 2620(TM) requires short-term exposure to temperatures over 650°F to remove nut and bolt with hand tools. Both pastes solidify when confined between close-fitting metal surfaces in absence of air, prevent loosening from shock and vibration, and eliminate leakage.

New Loctite High Temperature Threadlockers



Anaerobic Adhesives Designed to Withstand Heat and Stress to 650ºF

Rocky Hill, Conn. - July 22, 2008... For use on threaded assemblies continuously exposed to extreme temperatures, Henkel Corporation (http://www.henkelna.com) has introduced Loctite(R) 2422(TM) and Loctite(R) 2620(TM), two threadlocking adhesives formulated to withstand heat and stress to 650 degrees F.

These anaerobic adhesives are ideal for use in industrial ovens, heat treatment operations, turbo engines, boiler rooms, refineries, pulp and paper processing, glass manufacturing, and metal fabrication processes.

Loctite(R) 2422(TM) is a medium strength threadlocker designed for applications where disassembly with hand tools is desired. High strength Loctite(R) 2620(TM) requires short-term exposure to temperatures over 650 degrees F in order to remove the nut and bolt with hand tools.

Both threadlockers are anaerobic pastes that solidify when confined between close-fitting metal surfaces in the absence of air. These adhesives prevent loosening from shock and vibration, eliminate leakage, and withstand exposure to harsh fluids. The products are available in convenient syringe packages for easy dispensing.
