Product Overview
LOCTITE 243 is a medium-strength, anaerobic threadlocker designed to secure and seal threaded fasteners in vibrating or shock-prone environments. Its thixotropic formula prevents liquid migration post-application, ensuring controlled adhesion to metal surfaces. The adhesive cures in the absence of air, forming a durable bond that resists loosening from thermal cycling, oil contamination, and mechanical stress. Unlike traditional sealants, it accommodates minor surface contaminants (e.g., lubricants, rust inhibitors) and works on both active metals (e.g., brass, copper) and passive substrates (e.g., stainless steel, plated parts).
Advanced Features
Beyond standard performance, LOCTITE 243 offers:
• UV Fluorescence:Blue color with UV traceability for easy inspection of coverage and coverage gaps.
• Temperature Stability:Withstands continuous operation up to 150°C and brief excursions to 230°C.
• Chemical Resistance:Tolerates exposure to brake fluid, water/glycol mixtures, and biofuels (e.g., B100 biodiesel).
• Adjustable Cure Speed:Activators (e.g., LOCTITE® 7471™) accelerate curing on passive substrates like stainless steel.
Application Scenarios
LOCTITE 243 is widely used in industries requiring reliable threadlock:
• Automotive: Engine mounts, transmission components, and suspension systems.
• Industrial Machinery: Gearboxes, pumps, and electric motors.
• Heavy Equipment: Construction machinery and agricultural tools.
• Aerospace: Accessory fasteners in turbine engines and avionics.
