Loctite 290 – Thread Lock – Medium Strength – 10ml

Benefits of Using LOCTITE® Threadlockers

• Locks mating metal threads to prevent loosening from vibration and shock
• Seals against fluids and corrosion
• Provides lubricity to achieve controlled torque during assembly
• Prevents galling and seizing for reliable disassembly
• A threadlocker is a single component liquid or semi-solid adhesive. They cure at room temperature to a hard solid thermoset plastic when applied between steel, aluminium, brass and most other metal surfaces. They cure in the absence of air. The adhesive completely fills the gaps between mating threads to lock threads and joints.

Take action now: Don’t let a little fastener become a big problem.

LOCTITE® 290 is a medium/high strength, wicking grade threadlocking adhesive that is ideal for locking preassembled fasteners.
LOCTITE® 290 is a liquid medium/high-strength threadlocker designed for the locking and sealing of threaded fasteners. Because of its low viscosity and capillary action, the product wicks between engaged threads and eliminates the need for disassembly prior to application. The product cures when confined in the absence of air between close-fitting metal surfaces and prevents loosening and leakage due to shock and vibration. The product can also fill porosities in welds, castings and powdered metal parts.

• Ideal for locking preassembled fasteners, e.g. instrumentation fasteners, electrical connectors and set screws
• Works on metal only
• Proven to be tolerant of minor contamination due to industrial oils, e.g. engine oils, corrosion prevention oils and cutting fluids
• Requires heat for disassembly

FAQ

Q: If anaerobics cure in the absence of air, how come they don't cure in the sealed bottle?
A: The anaerobic bottles are specially formulated oxygen-permeable polyethylene bottles that allow air to pass through the wall of the bottle to maintain stability of the liquid product inside the container. The bottle is also not filled to the top for stability purposes. A 10 ml bottle does indeed contain 10 ml's of product in a larger bottle, and a 50ml bottle does indeed contain 50ml's of product in a larger bottle.
