LOCTITE 222 – SCREW LOCK

LOCTITE 222 – SCREW LOCK

LOCTITE® 222 is a low-strength thread locker that allows the adjustment of screws including countersunk head screws and set screws. Good on low-strength metals which could fracture during disassembly, e.g. aluminium or brass. The product works on all metals, including passive substrates such as stainless steel, aluminium and plated surfaces. t is proven to be tolerant of minor contamination due to industrial oils, e.g. engine oils, corrosion prevention oils and cutting fluids.

Features and Benefits

• Prevents loosening and leakage from shock & vibration: It occupies all gaps between mating threads and cures into a hard thermoset plastic that strengthens against shock and vibration.
• Low strength: It is suitable for applications that need frequent disassembly, as it can be easily removed using standard hand tools and for metals prone to shearing.
• Bonds well despite minor surface contamination due to industrial oils, e.g. motor oils, corrosion prevention oils and cutting fluids.
• Works well on even passive metal surfaces like stainless steel, aluminum and plated surfaces.
• Fluorescent: It has a characteristic purple colour that fluoresces under UV light. This helps during service to detect as to whether the product had been applied.
