Loxeal 8355 250ml one-component anaerobic threadlocker

LOXEAL 83-55 is a one component anaerobic threadlocker for medium size threads against self loosening and loosening, leakage and corrosion. Hardening of the product takes place after cutting off the supply of air (oxygen) in the gap between the two metal surfaces (in the thread). It is especially useful where there are maximum loads on the threaded joint (drive systems, structural parts, mounting studs in flange connections). It can be used on less chemically active surfaces

Typical Applications

The glue creates an elastic joint, which sufficiently secures the thread against self loosening, replaces other, most often mechanical methods: spring washers, flexible and bent washers, lock nuts, etc. The product is resistant to gas, air, water, oils, alkalis and many other chemicals and to impacts and vibrations. It maintains its properties in a wide range of operating temperatures. It is especially used where resistance to strong impacts, vibrations and maintaining maximum stresses is required. The adhesive also guarantees 100% protection against corrosion and tightness. The addition of a fluorescent substance allows the presence of glue in the thread to be detected using a UV lamp. Standard thread locking is achieved with a small amount of adhesive in the thread, the tightness of the connection is achieved when the coil is completely filled

TYPICAL COURSE OF CURING

Anaerobic adhesive begins to polymerize (harden) after cutting off the oxygen supply from its surface in the presence of a catalyst in the form of contact with the metal surface. The rate of polymerization depends on external factors and the properties of the adhesive itself. The parameters influencing the polymerization rate are: the type of material from which the bolted joint elements are made, the size of the joint gap, the ambient temperature, the use of a chemical activator.
