Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is Loctite 245 used for?

Loctite 245 is a medium-strength, blue anaerobic adhesive designed for locking and sealing threaded fasteners. It is specifically optimized for large threads (up to M80) in industrial applications to prevent loosening and leakage due to vibration.

Can I remove fasteners after applying Loctite 245?

Yes. Loctite 245 is designed for applications that require normal disassembly. Fasteners can be removed using standard hand tools. In cases of excessive engagement length where hand tools are insufficient, apply localized heat (approx. 250 °C) to the nut or bolt to assist with removal.

Is Loctite 245 suitable for plastic components?

No. This product is generally not recommended for use on plastics, particularly thermoplastic materials, as it may cause stress cracking. Always verify compatibility if you are considering non-metal substrates.

What are the recommended storage conditions?

To maintain product integrity, store Loctite 245 in its original, unopened container in a dry location. The optimal storage temperature is between 8 °C and 21 °C. Avoid temperatures below 8 °C or above 28 °C to prevent degradation of product properties.
