LOCTITE 2432
Harmonization Code : 8001.20 | Unwrought tin: Tin alloys
Main features
- Activation-Free Stainless Threadlocking
- Low-Migration Thixotropic Application
- Controlled Halogen and Sulfur Content
Product Description
LOCTITE 2432 is a one-part, blue, medium-strength thixotropic anaerobic threadlocker for locking and sealing threaded fasteners. It cures when confined without air between close-fitting metal surfaces and is especially suitable for stainless steel without surface activation. Thixotropic flow reduces migration after application, and the uncured liquid fluoresces under UV light. Chlorine and fluorine content and sulfur content are each controlled to 200 ppm maximum. After 24 hours at 22 deg C, M10 black-oxide steel fasteners develop 17 N m breakaway torque and 6 N m prevail torque. Applications include stainless and other supported metal fasteners, including sensitive-metal assemblies.
Key features
- Stainless steel assembly: Suitable for stainless steel without surface activation and removable with standard hand tools.
- Thixotropic application control: Medium thixotropic flow reduces migration of liquid after application.
- Controlled halogen and sulfur: Chlorine plus fluorine content and sulfur content are each 200 ppm maximum.
Applications
Applications include locking and sealing threaded fasteners, stainless-steel assemblies, and sensitive-metal threaded connections requiring controlled halogen and sulfur content.
