LOCTITE 564
Harmonization Code : 3907.30.00.40 | Epoxy Mold Compounds containing by weight more than 70 % silicon dioxide
Main features
- Lubricated Pipe Thread Assembly
- High-Viscosity Thread Sealing
- Low-Strength Anaerobic Locking
Product Description
LOCTITE 564 is a one-part, high-viscosity methacrylate thread sealant for locking and sealing close-fitting metal pipes and fittings. The white to off-white paste cures anaerobically when confined between metal surfaces, while its uncured lubricating properties facilitate assembly and torque tightening of piping components. At 25 deg C, typical specific gravity is 1.17 and typical Brookfield RVF viscosity is 49,500 to 132,000 mPa s at 20 rpm with spindle 7. Typical breakaway torque after 72 hours at 22 deg C is 34 N m on 3/8 NPT steel pipe tees and plugs pre-torqued to 27 N m by ASTM D6396. The cured material provides low-strength locking and sealing for the threaded metal connection.
Key features
- Assembly lubrication: Uncured lubricating properties facilitate pipe-thread assembly and torque tightening.
- High-viscosity paste: Typical Brookfield RVF viscosity is 49,500 to 132,000 mPa s at 25 deg C with spindle 7 at 20 rpm.
- Low-strength anaerobic cure: Cures in close-fitting metal threads to provide low-strength locking and sealing.
Applications
Locking and sealing tapered metal pipe threads and fittings.
