Anaerobic Threadlocker Reduces Friction to Ensure Proper Clamp Load during Assembly

 

Revolutionary Dual Action Loctite® Threadlocker Lubricates and Prevents Loosening of Large Fasteners

A new high lubricity threadlocker from Henkel Corporation, Loctite® 2047™, is designed to ensure maximum performance of fasteners greater than 7/8-inch in diameter.  This dual-function threadlocker works both as a lubricant that reduces friction and achieves proper clamp load during fastener assembly, and as an adhesive/sealant that eliminates loosening, maintains clamp load and prevents corrosion. 

Loctite® 2047™ cures slowly, achieving fixture strength after 90 minutes and full cure after 24 hours to allow the assembly of multiple fasteners.  On fastener assemblies where torque greater than 500 ft/lbs generates considerable heat, this slow cure profile prevents premature threadlocker cure, ensures reliable clamp load, prevents failure and simplifies disassembly. 

Loctite® 2047™ lubricates during the torque process when used with pneumatic impact tools.  This medium viscosity threadlocker is available in 50 ml bottles for hand application.
