Features and Benefits This anaerobic-curing flange sealant for rigid machined metal flanges fills gaps up to 0.25 mm (0.01'') and typically provides a 30-minute fixture time. LOCTITE® 515 is a form-in-place anaerobic-curing flange sealant that cures when confined in the absence of air between close fitting metal surfaces. It seals close fitting joints between rigid metal faces and flanges and will flex with minor flange movements. It provides resistance to low pressures immediately after assembly of flanges, and is typically used as a form-in-place gasket for pumps, thermostats, compressors, transmission housing,s and axle covers. The product is fluorescent under UV light, allowing visual inspection of the bead.       For machined metal components     Forms a perfect seal     Gap fill up to 0.25 mm (0.01'')     Form-in-place sealant     Fluorescent under UV for quality control Technical Information Application method Dispense system, Manual Applications Rigid assembly gasketing, Sealing Chemical basis / base Methacrylate Color Purple Cure type Anaerobic cure Fixture time 30.0 min.

Features and Benefits Form-in-place gasket for sealing close-fitting joints between rigid metal faces and flanges. Ideal for gearbox and engine casings, and part assembly jobs extending over several hours. To seal close-fitting joints between rigid metal faces and flanges, try LOCTITE® 573. This medium strength, medium-viscosity sealant is perfect as a form-in-place gasket on rigid flanged connections, e.g. gearbox and engine casings, and for sealing large, rigid metal flanges where assembly may take up to several hours.       Thixotropic, medium viscosity     Slow curing for long assembly time applications     Excellent resistance to industrial and automotive fluids     Ideal for sealing large, rigid metal flanges or where assembly may take hours     Ideal as a form-in-place gasket on rigid flanged connections Technical Information Applications Gasketing Color Green Fixture time 9.0 - 12.0 hr. Gap fill 0.1 mm Lab shear strength 1.3 N/mm² Recommended for use with Metal: aluminum, Metal: steel read more

Features and Benefits A 1-part, retaining compound designed for bonding cylindrical fitting parts, such as bearings, bushings, and shafts. Suitable for use where consistently clean surfaces can't be assured, such as parts lightly coated with cutting fluids or rust preventative oils. If you can’t be sure the surfaces of your cylindrical fitting parts will always be clean, try LOCTITE® 603 high-strength retaining compound. It is capable of cutting through light coatings of oil on parts, such as cutting fluids and rust preventative oils. Its low viscosity makes it ideal for augmenting press / interference fits, or slip-fitted assemblies with small clearances. The high-strength adhesive reliably prevents loosening and leakage from shock and vibration on cylindrical parts, such as roller bearings or oil impregnated bushings into housings. read more
