Product catalog summary
Overview
LOCTITE® hydrogen ready thread sealants are designed to provide a safe and reliable seal against hydrogen gas leaks, offering an alternative to more complex and costly sealing methods like seal welding and cone & thread fittings. These sealants are engineered to meet the performance requirements of KIWA GASTEC QA AR 214 for admixtures up to 100% hydrogen gas, with certifications available in select countries.
Specifications and Compatibility
LOCTITE thread sealants are suitable for NPT- and BSPT-style threaded components made of all metals, including stainless steel. They are easy to apply, allow for adjustments during assembly, and do not shred or shrink like other sealing methods.
Key Features & Benefits
  • Safety & Reliability: Formulated to prevent hydrogen gas leaks and ensure long-term equipment performance.
  • Compatibility: Suitable for all metals and unaffected by hydrogen.
  • System Efficiency: Prevents leaks and vibrational loosening, enhancing system efficiency and reducing maintenance and downtime.
Product Descriptions
  • LOCTITE 55: White, non-curing thread sealing cord for immediate full-pressure sealing, ideal for BSPT and NPT threads.
  • LOCTITE 567: White, high-viscosity anaerobic curing paste for instant low-pressure sealing, ideal for NPT threads.
  • LOCTITE 577: Yellow, high-viscosity anaerobic curing paste for instant low-pressure sealing, suitable for BSPT and NPT threads.
  • LOCTITE 570: Silver-brown, slow-curing paste providing low-torque strength for easy disassembly, ideal for BSPT and NPT threads.
  • LOCTITE 638: Green, medium-viscosity adhesive/sealant with high shear strength, suitable for high-pressure and extreme environments.
