A new high-lubricity
threadlocker from Henkel Corp., Loctite
®
2047
TM, is designed to ensure maximum performance of
fasteners greater than 7/8-inch in diameter. This dual-function threadlocker
works both as a lubricant that reduces friction and achieves proper clamp load
during fastener assembly, and as an adhesive/sealant that eliminates loosening,
maintains clamp load, and prevents corrosion.
Loctite 2047 cures slowly,
achieving fixture strength after 90 minutes and full cure after 24 hours to
allow the assembly of multiple fasteners. On fastener assemblies where torque
greater than 500 ft/lbs generates considerable heat, this slow cure profile
prevents premature threadlocker cure, ensures reliable clamp load, prevents
failure and simplifies disassembly.
Loctite 2047 lubricates
during the torque process when used with pneumatic impact tools. This medium-viscosity
threadlocker is available in 50 ml bottles for hand application.
