GENERAL INFORMATION

This product is not recommended for use in pure oxygen
and/or oxygen rich systems and should not be selected
with 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 material is an inactive metal or the cure speed is
   too slow, spray all threads with Activator 7471™ or
   7649™ and allow to dry.
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
   down the internal threads to the bottom of the 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.
