A43 Threadlock

Name: A43 Threadlock

A medium viscosity, medium strength, screw and threadlocker. Capable of bonding “As Received” parts covered with a light film of oil.

Features: Medium viscosity. – Non-drip formulation. – Replaces spring washers and lock nuts. – Allows for disassembly with correct tools. – High torque. – Oil tolerant. – Prevents rust and corrosion.

Application: Used as a locking compound for direct application to lightly oiled components. Replaces spring washers and lock nuts. Allows for disassembly using the correct tools. Apply sufficient adhesive to coat the treads. The adhesive will start to cure on exclusion of air from the bonding system.

Instructions: Application: Apply sufficient adhesive to coat the threads. Assemble and tighten as required. The adhesive will start to cure on exclusion of air from the bonding system. Observe handling and strength times stated below. Bonding Times: Assuming room temperature is +20oC and a 0.15mm fastener gap size, handling time: < 15 minutes; full strength: 24 hours. The rate of cure depends on the substrate used, bond gap and temperature. Smaller bond gaps and higher temperatures will generally achieve full bond strength faster. Cleaning: Clean away excess adhesive with a dry cloth. Once dried, it is best removed mechanically with a stiff brush. Limitations: Not recommended for use with accelerators. The strength of the Threadlock bond will be substantially lower on stainless steel. On certain grades it may not work at all without the use of an activator. It is the user’s responsibility to check suitability of this product with their particular application. Not recommended for use in oxygen rich systems and should not be used with chlorine or other strong oxidising materials.
