The main criteria in choosing the right threadlocker out of Loctite`s wide range are the material (plastic or metal), diameter and thread length of the screws or stud bolts used, as well as their strength class. Many Loctite products are universally applicable for a range of thread sizes.
The threadlocker from Loctite functions by curing in the absence of air. Compared to mechanical locking elements, Loctite solutions have the advantage of a low cost per unit and efficient storage, supply, maintenance and repair. Product life is also extended thanks to the secure seal. Liquid threadlocker are particularly secure as the clamping force is retained, resulting in a high breakaway torque.
