Loctite 243 is a one-component, blue, thixotropic threadlocking adhesive for metal fasteners that must resist shock and vibration yet stay serviceable. It cures without air between close-fitting metal surfaces and tolerates minor surface contamination from cutting, lubricating and anti-corrosion oils.
Key features
- Medium strength: release fasteners with standard hand tools
- Oil tolerant: cures through minor contamination from cutting and lubricating oils
- Works on brass, copper, stainless steel and plated surfaces as well as steel
- Thixotropic: the liquid stays where it is applied
- Stops loosening and leakage caused by shock and vibration
Typical applications
- Pumps and gearboxes
- Motors and vehicles
