Loctite 5ml Blue Threadlocker 242 (24205)

Loctite 5ml Blue Threadlocker 242, the industry-standard medium-strength threadlocker, is your solution for securing threaded fasteners that might require future disassembly. This versatile adhesive secures your bolts, nuts, and screws, preventing them from loosening due to shock and vibration.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• Medium Strength:
  - Provides a strong hold for a wide range of applications, while still allowing disassembly with standard hand tools in most cases. High torque or additional methods like heat or specific chemicals might be necessary for stubborn fasteners.
• Quick Fixture Time:
  - Starts curing within minutes on typical metals like steel (5 minutes), brass (15 minutes), and stainless steel (20 minutes). This allows for faster assembly and reduces downtime.
• Disassembly When Needed:
  - Unlike mechanical locking methods like lock washers, Loctite® 242 won't leave you struggling to remove fasteners during maintenance or repairs. With a little extra effort, you can disassemble components using standard tools.
• Prevents Leaks and Corrosion:
  - Loctite® 242 fills the gaps between threads, acting as a sealant to prevent leaks caused by vibration or loosening. Additionally, it helps protect against corrosion, extending the life of your threaded assemblies.
• Easy to Use:
  - The medium viscosity formula is ideal for easy application and stays put thanks to its thixotropic properties, which prevent migration after application.

HOW TO USE:

1. Clean the threads thoroughly with a degreasing solvent and allow them to dry.
2. Apply Loctite 242 to the leading threads of the male part, using the dispenser's built-in brush or nozzle.
3. Assemble and tighten the parts as required.
4. Allow the assembly to cure at room temperature for 24 hours for full strength.
5. To disassemble, apply heat (e.g., with a blowtorch) to the assembly to break down the threadlocker, then use standard hand tools for removal.

BENEFITS OF Loctite 5ml Blue Threadlocker 242:
