LOCTITE is now supplying its anaerobic threadlocker in a new tape format.
Called QuickTape 249, the threadlocker is reportedly neat and clean to use, and is dry to the touch, making it suitable for a variety of demanding industrial applications.
The tape is applied just like any other tape product – the user simply peels the low-tack tape from the spool and wraps it around the fastener’s threads. The size of the fastener determines the number of wraps required for secure locking and sealing.
According to Loctite, the new tape is a medium strength adhesive that provides the same high performance as liquid threadlockers, yet can be carried in a pocket or toolbox.
The tape can reportedly fix in just 30 minutes, with full cure achieved in 24 hours. The product offers an operating temperature range from -54°C to 150°C and, like its liquid and stick counterparts also sold by Loctite, offers a shelf life of two years.
This tape can also be pre-applied to fasteners for future assembly.
