Better grades
October 1st 2009 To facilitate use on a wider selection
of substrates, Henkel has improved
the formulations of two of its most
popular threadlocking adhesives.
Medium strength Loctite 243 and
high strength Loctite 270 are now
more oil tolerant than previous
grades, enabling them to be used
more readily on 'as received' parts –
including those contaminated with
engine oils, corrosion prevention oils
and cutting fluids. Temperature
resistance has also been increased to
180°C and the adhesives will cure not
only on active substrates, such as iron,
copper, brass and steel, but also on
passive materials including stainless
steel, aluminium, nickel and zinc
plated surfaces and chrome-free,
inorganic and organic coatings. More articles from Henkel Ltd: |
