The product is a single component, anaerobic liquid that cures when confined in the absence of air between close fitting metal surfaces. Ideal for all nut and bolt fasteners under 1/4 inch. Excellent chemical resistance with a temperature resistance range of 175°C to 150°C (-65°F to 300°F). Easily removable with hand tools for servicing requirements. OEM Specified. NSF White Book registered. PRODUCT BENEFITS Improved Reliability • Eliminates vibration issues • Seals against leakage • Prevents rusting of threads • Cures without cracking or shrinking • Can be adjusted or disassembled Easy Application • No mixing • No curing outside of joint • Thixotropic: resists dripping from threads during assembly • No torque compensation required during assembly Shake the product thoroughly before use. To prevent the product from clogging in the nozzle, do not allow the tip to touch metal surfaces during application. For Thru Holes, apply several drops of product onto the bolt at the nut engagement area. For Blind Holes, apply several drops down the female threads into the bottom of the hole. As threads are engaged, compressed air forces the product upwards into the threads. Assemble and tighten as usual. When tightening to established torque values, torque compensation is not required. TYPICAL APPLICATIONS Prevents loosening and leakage of threaded fasteners. Particularly suitable for applications such as: • • • • • • • • • • Set screw for rear view mirror Headlight adjustment bolts Small bolts in distributor Small bolts in ignition systems Dash board assembly bolts Throttle body assembly screws Choke assembly screws Mixture adjusting screws Idle control screws Relay Lock Screws DIRECTIONS FOR USE For assembly 1. Clean all threads (Bolt and Hole) with a cleaning solvent such as Permatex Brake and Parts Cleaner and allow to dry. 2. Determine if the threads to be bonded are Active or Inactive Metals (Ref: Cure Speed vs. Substrate on the second page). If material is an Inactive Metal, spray all threads with Permatex Surface Prep and allow 30 seconds to dry. Priming is not required if the material is an Active Metal. If unknown, it is always best to use the primer. For Cleanup 1. Residual liquid films and/or fillets outside the joint are readily soluble in Permatex Brake and Parts Cleaner. 2. Cured product can be removed with a combination of soaking in Permatex Gasket Remover and mechanical abrasion such as a wire brush. For Disassembly 1. Remove with standard hand tools. 2. In the rare instance where hand tools do not work, because of excessive engagement length, apply localized heat to nut or bolt to approximately 232°C (450°F). Disassemble while hot.
