LOCTITE 232
Harmonization Code : 8001.20 | Unwrought tin: Tin alloys
Main features
- Lubricated Heavy-Fit Assembly
- Medium-Strength Anaerobic Retention
- Steel Press-Fit Shear Performance
Product Description
LOCTITE 232 is a one-component, opaque brown anaerobic methacrylate retaining compound with medium viscosity and medium strength. Its lubricating behavior facilitates assembly when heavy interference or high torque is used, while the cured material increases the force required for disassembly. The as-supplied viscosity is 3,600 to 8,800 mPa s at 25 deg C. Steel pin-and-collar specimens reach at least 7.0 N/mm^2 compressive shear strength after two hours at 121 deg C. The product is used for highly torqued threaded joints, heavy press fits, and related slip-fit, press-fit, or shrink-fit metal assemblies.
Key features
- Lubricated heavy-fit assembly: Lubricating properties facilitate assembly under heavy interference or high torque and reduce galling and pickup during disassembly.
- One-part retaining format: The no-mix liquid combines medium viscosity and medium strength for threaded and cylindrical metal assemblies.
- Cured steel shear: Compressive shear strength is at least 7.0 N/mm^2 on steel pins and collars after two hours at 121 deg C by ISO 10123.
Applications
Applications include highly torqued threaded assemblies, heavy press fits, and slip-fit, press-fit, or shrink-fit cylindrical metal assemblies.
