LOCTITE 243, Blue, blister card, 5ml

Properties and Benefits

• Medium strength: Ideal for joints that require protection against vibration but still allow disassembly with hand tools.
• No primer required: Works on all metal materials, including passive surfaces (stainless steel, aluminum, plated parts) without the need for a primer.
• Oil resistant and tolerant to contaminants: Cures even in the presence of oil or coolant residues without the need for aggressive degreasing.
• Temperature resistance: Suitable for a range of –55 °C to +180 °C, ideal for extreme operating conditions.
• Fluorescent indication: Facilitates application inspection in both manufacturing and service environments (using UV light).

LOCTITE 243 is a versatile medium strength threadlocker that combines reliable and durable bonding with the potential for later disassembly. Since it does not require a primer, it is suitable for quick and clean maintenance and production, even in the presence of oils or on passive metals.
