Features&Benefits
* Prevents loosening on vibrating assemblies, e.g. pumps, gear boxes or presses
* Works on all metals, including passive substrates (e.g. stainless steel, aluminum, plated surfaces)
* Proven to tolerate minor contamination by industrial oils, e.g. motor oils, corrosion prevention oils and cutting fluids
* Permits disassembly with ordinary hand tools for easy service and maintenance

How To choose it
When choosing a thread locking compound, there are four things to consider:
1. Strength
▶ Low Strength (Purple): Ideal for fasteners <1⁄4" (6 mm). Easy disassembly using hand tools, like 222.
▶ Medium Strength (Blue): Designed to be removable with standard hand tools on 1⁄4" to 3⁄4" fasteners, like 242 243 262 263.
▶ High Strength (Red): Designed to deliver high strength on 1⁄4" to 3⁄4" (6 mm to 22 mm) fasteners. For removal, it may require
localized heat (>550°F/260°C), hand tools, and disassembly while hot, like 271 272 290.
2. Viscosity
▶ Liquid Formulas: Everyday assembly; ideal for fine threads and blind holes
▶ Semisolid Formulas: Pocket-friendly, ideal for overhead applications
▶ Tape Formula: Pocket-friendly; controlled application; can be pre-applied several days before assembly
3. Application Methods
▶ Pre-Applied: QuickTape threadlocker can be applied beforehand on bolts that are waiting to be assembled
▶ Pre-Assembly: Most HiGlue liquid threadlockers are designed to be applied at the moment that parts will be assembled
▶ Post-Assembly: Wicking grade formula can be applied on parts that are already assembled
