Loctite 242 is a one-component, blue anaerobic adhesive that locks and seals threaded metal fasteners. It cures without air between close-fitting metal surfaces and prevents loosening and leakage from shock and vibration, while allowing disassembly with standard hand tools for servicing.
Key features
- Medium strength: release the fastener with standard hand tools
- Prevents loosening and leakage caused by shock and vibration
- Suited to plated and other less active surfaces where servicing is required
- Thixotropic: the liquid stays where it is applied
- One component: no mixing
Typical applications
- Threaded fasteners that are serviced regularly
- Plated components
- Equipment exposed to vibration
