LOCTITE 278/50ML – High Strength Oil Tolerant Threadlock

Loctite 278/50ml – High Strength Oil Tolerant Threadlock

Loctite 278 High Strength, high temperature Threadlocker.

Loctite 278 is designed for the permanent locking and sealing of threaded fasteners. The product cures when confined in the absence of air between close fitting metal surfaces and prevents loosening and leakage from shock and vibration. Particularly suitable for applications on less active substrates such as coated or plated surfaces, and/or for applications where temperature resistance is required.

Typical Curing Performance

Cure Speed vs. Substrate
The rate of cure will depend on the substrate used. The graph shown in the data sheet shows the shear strength developed with time on M10 steel nuts and bolts compared to different materials and tested according to ISO 10964.

Cure Speed vs. Bond Gap
The rate of cure will depend on the bondline gap. Gaps in threaded fasteners depends on thread type, quality and size. The graph shown in the data sheet shows shear strength developed with time on steel pins and collars at different controlled gaps and tested according to ISO 10123.
