Description for Henkel Loctite 576
It is designed for the locking and sealing of threaded fasteners which require normal disassembly with standard hand tools. The product cures when confined in the absence of air between close fitting surfaces and prevents loosening and leakage from shock and vibration.Brand Loctite Chemical Resistance Chemical Resistance: Solvent resistance Application Type Thread sealing, Thread locking 1 Part or 2 Part 1-Part Material Form Liquid Substrate Steel, M10 black oxide nuts and bolts Industry Designed for the sealing threaded fasteners which require normal disassembly with standard hand tools, Designed for the locking threaded fasteners which require normal disassembly with standard hand tools Manufacturer Henkel Chemistry Dimethacrylate ester Cure Method Anaerobic cure, Activator cure, Room temperature Odor Details Odor low Gap Fill (in) <0.008 Cure Temperature (°C) 23 Cure Time (min) 1,440 Viscosity (cPs) Medium, 4,000 to 6,000 Fluorescent Negative Color Brown Torque (psi) 2- 8 (N·m), 1- 6 (N·m) Pressure Resistance Pressure resistance Leakage Resistance Prevents loosening and leakage from shock and vibration Volume Resistivity (O) 1e15 (Ohm cm) Density (g/cm³) 1.1 (g/m) Key Specifications Mil-Spec (United States Military Standard): Corrosion characteristics: (MIL-S-22473) -

Best Practices for Henkel Loctite 576
-
Surface Preparation
For best results, clean all surfaces (external and internal) with a LOCTITE® cleaning solvent and allow to dry.
If the material is an inactive metal or the cure speed is too slow, spray with LOCTITE® SF 7471™ or LOCTITE® SF 7649™ and allow to dry
-
Application
the male fitting, leaving the first thread free. Force the material into the threads to thoroughly fill the voids. For bigger threads and voids, adjust product amount accordingly and apply a 360° bead of product on the female threads also.
Using compliant practices, assemble and wrench tighten fittings in accordance with manufacturers recommendations.
Properly tightened fittings will seal instantly to moderate pressures. For maximum pressure resistance and solvent resistance allow the product to cure a minimum of 24 hours.
-
Removal
For Disassembly: 1. Remove with standard hand tools.
2. Where hand tools do not work because of excessive engagement length or large diameters (over 25 mm), apply localized heat to approximately 250 °C. Disassemble while hot.
For Cleanup: Cured product can be removed with a combination of soaking in a LOCTITE® solvent and mechanical abrasion such as a wire brush.
