Ideal for locking preassembled fasteners, e.g. instrumentation screws, electrical connectors and set screws
Common Characteristics
LOCTITE 290 is designed for the locking and sealing of threaded fasteners. Because of its low viscosity and capillary action, the product wicks between engaged threads and eliminates the need to disassemble prior to application. The product cures when confined in the absence of air between close fitting metal surfaces and prevents loosening and leakage from shock and vibration. The product can also fill porosity in welds, castings and powdered metal parts.
Registered to NSF Category P1 for use as a sealant where there is no possibility of food contact in and around food processing areas.
Certified to ANSI/NSF Standard 61 for use in commercial and residential potable water systems not exceeding 82° C
