Product Description
LOCTITE® 222 is designed for the locking and sealing of threaded fasteners which require easy disassembly with standard hand tools. The product cures when confined in the absence of air between close fitting metal surfaces and prevents loosening and leakage from shock and vibration Particularly suitable for applications such as adjustment of set screws, small diameter or long engagement length fasteners, where easy disassembly is required without shearing the screw. The thixotropic nature of LOCTITE® 222 reduces the migration of liquid product after application to the substrate.
Features of LOCTITE® 222
- Ideal for low-strength threadlocking of adjustment screws, countersunk head screws and set screws
- Prevents fastener loosening on vibrating assemblies, e.g. pumps, gear boxes, presses
- Ideal for small thread sizes up to 6.35 mm (1/4″)
- Can be disassembled with ordinary hand tools for easy service and maintenance
- NSF P1 Reg. No. 123001
Applications of LOCTITE® 222
- Threadlocking
