Loctite 574 Flange Sealant 50ml
Loctite 574 Flange Sealant is a medium strength, orange anaerobic flange sealant engineered for maximum efficacy in gasketing and sealing rigid metal faces. This industrial-grade adhesive permanently seals close-fitting joints, preventing costly fluid and gas leaks caused by shock, high vibration, or minor joint movement. Whether you are securing cast iron components or pump housings, this premium form-in-place gasket provides a robust, leak-proof seal on all rigid metal joints—including aluminum and steel substrates.
Why Choose Loctite 574?
- Instant Low-Pressure Seal: Provides an immediate resistance to low pressures (<0.5 MPa) right after assembly before the product begins full cure.
- Reduced Liquid Migration: The thixotropic nature of the formula minimizes the running or dripping of the liquid product after application to the substrate.
- High Solvent & Fluid Tolerance: Offers excellent resistance against water, industrial oils, gasoline, and glycol mixtures.
- Ideal for Rigid Metal Connections: Perfectly suited for precise sealing on close-fitting flanged parts with gaps up to 0.25 mm.
- Reliable Maintenance Disassembly: Features a medium strength profile (tensile shear strength of 8.5 N/mm²) allowing components to be separated safely using standard hand tools.
Technical Specifications
- Product Type: Anaerobic Methacrylate Gasket Sealant
- Strength: Medium
- Color: Orange
- Container Size: 50ml
- Certifications: Engineered to standard industrial manufacturing specifications
Simple Application Instructions
- Clean: For optimal results, clean all internal and external surfaces with a Loctite cleaning solvent and let dry to ensure they are free from grease and oils.
- Apply: Apply manually as a continuous bead or by screen printing to one surface of the flanges.
- Assemble: Assemble and tighten the flanges as soon as possible after application to avoid shimming. The formula will begin curing once confined in the absence of air between the close-fitting metal surfaces.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is Loctite 574 used for?
Loctite 574 is a medium strength anaerobic flange sealant designed for creating form-in-place gaskets between rigid metal faces. It is specifically formulated to prevent machine casings and housings from leaking due to high-vibration stresses or joint relaxation.
Can Loctite 574 be disassembled?
Yes. Although it provides an exceptionally tough and durable seal, Loctite 574 is engineered for parts that require occasional servicing and can be disassembled cleanly using standard industrial hand tools.
Does Loctite 574 work on aluminum?
Yes. Loctite 574 offers robust performance across a variety of machined metal hardware. It is highly effective on active metal connections as well as passive metal substrates including aluminum and steel.
Is Loctite 574 safe for harsh temperature environments?
Loctite 574 is engineered to withstand demanding operating environments. It maintains its seal integrity across a wide temperature range from -55°C up to +150°C, making it safe for standard automotive and industrial applications.
