About 221 Threadlockers Adhesives
LOCTITE® 221 is a purple, low-strength, 1-part, low-viscosity liquid threadlocker ideal for locking small diameter screws and long engagement length fasteners. It prevents small screws from loosening due to shock and vibration, while still allowing for easy disassembly at room temperature without shearing the screw. For use on all metal fasteners up to M12, including steel, brass and stainless steel.
- Suitable for steel, stainless steel and brass
- Designed for small thread sizes
- Low strength
- Low viscosity
Anaerobic Cure for Metal Threads221 Threadlockers Adhesives utilize an anaerobic cure mechanism, meaning they harden when isolated from air, typically after direct application to threaded metal fasteners. Designed for metals such as brass and steel, this adhesive provides dependable threadlocking performance without compromising the ability to disassemble when needed. Its liquid form ensures easy coverage and penetration for a secure hold.
User-Friendly Application and Versatile UseApplying Threadlocker 221 is straightforward: just apply the purple liquid directly to fastener threads before assembly. The adhesive spreads uniformly, helping to secure screws and bolts across multiple industries. With a fixture time ranging from 20 to 210 minutes, this standard-grade product balances workability with efficiency, making it ideal for distributing, servicing, or supplying in India's metalworking sector.
Reliable Performance and RemovabilityLow-strength 221 Threadlockers Adhesives deliver secure, yet temporary threadlocking. This means you can rely on joints remaining tight under stress or vibration, but still have the option of removing fasteners using basic hand tools. The formula is specially suited for maintenance or applications requiring periodic disassembly, delivering both security and convenience.
