LOCTITE® 245 is a medium strength, medium viscosity methacrylate threadlocking adhesive formulated for large threads up to M80 in size. The product is intended for fasteners that require normal disassembly with standard hand tools (breakaway torque is 13 Nm). The product is suitable for metals that include steel, brass and stainless steel.

• Medium strength
• Medium viscosity
• Designed for large threads
• 13 Nm breakaway torque

LOCTITE®
245 is designed for the locking and sealing of
threaded fasteners which require normal disassembly with
standard hand tools. The product cures when confined in the
absence of air between close fitting metal surfaces and
prevents loosening and leakage from shock and vibration

TYPICAL CURING PERFORMANCE

Cure Speed vs. Substrate

The rate of cure will depend on the substrate used. The graph
below shows the breakaway strength developed with time on
M10 black oxide bolts and steel nuts compared to different
materials and tested according to ISO 10964

Cure Speed vs. Bond Gap

The rate of cure will depend on the bondline gap.Gaps in
threaded fasteners depends on thread type, quality and size
The following graph shows shear strength developed with time
on steel pins and collars at different controlled gaps and tested
according to ISO 10123

Cure Speed vs. Temperature

The rate of cure will depend on the temperature. The graph
below shows the breakaway strength developed with time at
different temperatures on M10 steel nuts and bolts and tested
according to ISO 10964

Cure Speed vs. Activator

Where cure speed is unacceptably long, or large gaps are
present, applying activator to the surface will improve cure
speed. The graph below shows the breakaway strength
developed with time on M10 zinc dichromate steel nuts and
bolts using Activator 7471™, 7649™, 7088™ and 7091™ and
tested according to ISO 10964

GENERAL INFORMATION

This product is not recommended for use in pure oxygen and/or
oxygen rich systems and should not be selected as a sealant for
chlorine or other strong oxidizing materials.
For safe handling information on this product, consult the Safety
Data Sheet (SDS).
Where aqueous washing systems are used to clean the surfaces
before bonding, it is important to check for compatibility of the washing
solution with the adhesive. In some cases these aqueous washes can
affect the cure and performance of the adhesive.
This product is not normally recommended for use on plastics
(particularly thermoplastic materials where stress cracking of the
plastic could result). Users are recommended to confirm compatibility
of the product with such substrates.

Directions for use:

For Assembly

1. For best results, clean all surfaces (external and internal)
   with a LOCTITE®
   cleaning solvent and allow to dry
2. If the cure speed is too slow, use appropriate activator.
   Please see the Cure Speed vs. Activator graph for
   reference. Allow the activator to dry when needed
3. Shake the product thoroughly before use
4. To prevent the product from clogging in the nozzle, do
   not allow the tip to touch metal surfaces during
   application
5. For Thru Holes, apply several drops of the product onto
   the bolt at the nut engagement area
6. For Blind Holes, apply several drops of the product to
   the lower third of the internal threads in the blind hole, or
   the bottom of the blind hole
7. For Sealing Applications, apply a 360° bead of product
   to the leading threads of the male fitting, leaving the first
   thread free. Force the material into the threads to
   thouroughly fill the voids. For bigger threads and voids,
   adjust product amount accordingly and apply a 360°
   bead of product on the female threads also
8. Assemble and tighten as required

For Disassembly

1. Remove with standard hand tools
2. In rare instances where hand tools do not work because
   of excessive engagement length, apply localized heat to
   nut or bolt to approximately 250 °C. Disassemble while
   hot

For Cleanup

1. Cured product can be removed with a combination of
   soaking in a Loctite solvent and mechanical abrasion
   such as a wire brush.
