Designed for bonding cylindrical fitting parts, particularly with narrow bond gaps up to 0.25mm (0.01″”), it is great for a fast cure on all metals, including passive substrates like stainless steel.
For a retaining compound offering high strength on all metals, including passive substrates, try LOCTITE® 638. You can expect high-temperature performance and good oil tolerance, a fixture time of just four minutes, and a gap-fill of 0.006″” to 0.01″” (0.15 mm to 0.25 mm). It even tolerates minor surface contaminants, including industrial oils. A high-viscosity product, it’s ideal for shafts, gears, pulleys, and similar cylindrical parts and can also be used for high-strength thread locking and thread-sealing applications. Operating temperature is -65°F to 355°F (-55°C to 180°C). LOCTITE 638 meets the performance requirements of KIWA GASTEC QA AR 214 for admixtures up to and including 100% hydrogen gas on metal threaded fittings – certifications are available in select countries.
