Application description:
LOCTITE® thread sealants are available in liquid form
or as sealing cord, prevent leakage of gases and liquids.
Designed for low- and high-pressure applications, they
f ll the space between threaded parts and provide an
instant, low-pressure seal. When fully cured, they seal
to the burst strength of most pipe systems.
Surface preparation:
Correct surface preparation is the most important
factor to assure the total success of any sealant
performance. Without suitable surface preparation,
thread sealing applications can fail. A) Degrease, clean
and dry surfaces prior to applying the sealant. For this
you can use LOCTITE SF 7063. B) If anaerobic sealants
are applied below 5°C, pre-treatment with Activator
LOCTITE SF 7240, LOCTITE SF 7471 or LOCTITE SF 7649
is required
