Permatex® 27140 High Strength Threadlocker RED, 36 ml

Permatex® High Strength Threadlocker RED is a high strength anaerobic threadlocking material that cures between engaged threads to form a unitized assembly that resists virtually all leakage, shock and vibration. The product is a single component, anaerobic liquid which cures when confined in the absence of air between close fitting metal surfaces. Ideal for all 3/8" to 1" diameter nut and bolt assemblies where future disassembly is improbable. Excellent chemical resistance with a temperature resistance range of -54 degree Celsius to 150 degree Celsius (-65 degree Fahrenheit to 300 degree Fahrenheit).

Benefits:

• Improved Reliability
• Eliminates vibration issues
• Seals against leakage
• Prevents rusting of threads
• Cures without cracking or shrinking.

Easy Application:

• No mixing
• No curing outside of joint
• No torque compensation required during assembly.

Typical Applications:

Prevents loosening and leakage of threaded fasteners. Particularly suitable for applications such as:

• Cylinder block
• Rocker arm studs
• Ring gear bolts
• Fan hub bolts
• Frame bolts
• Shock absorber bolts.

Directions For Use:

For Assembly

• Clean all threads (Bolt and Hole) with a cleaning solvent such as Permatex® Brake and Parts Cleaner and allow to dry.
• Determine if the threads to be bonded are Active or Inactive Metals. If material is an Inactive Metal, spray all threads with Permatex® Surface Prep (24163) and allow 30 seconds to dry. Priming is not required if the material is an Active Metal. If unknown, it is always best to use the primer.
• Shake the product thoroughly before use.
• For Thru Holes, apply several drops of product onto the bolt at the nut engagement area.
• For Blind Holes, apply several drops down female threads into the bottom of the hole. As threads are engaged, compressed air forces the product upwards into the threads.
• Assemble and tighten as usual. When tightening to established torque values, torque compensation is not required.

For Cleanup

• Residual liquid films and/or fillets outside the joint are readily soluble in Permatex® Brake and Parts Cleaner.
• Cured product can be removed with a combination of soaking in Permatex® Gasket Remover and mechanical abrasion such as a wire brush.

For Disassembly

• Apply localized heat to nut or bolt to approximately 260 degree Celsius (500 degree Fahrenheit). Disassemble while hot.

For Reassembly

• Remove loose product from nut and bolt.
• Apply primer to all threads, regardless of metal type.
• Assemble and tighten as usual.
