Worldwide Version, October 1995
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
LOCTITE
廬
retaining adhesive which develops high strength rapidly when
confined in the absence of air between close fitting metal
surfaces.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Used to bond cylindrical fitting parts, particularly where bond
gaps can approach 0.25mm (0.01") and where maximum
strength at room temperature is required. Applications include
locking bushings and sleeves into housings and on shafts.

Cure speed vs. temperature
The rate of cure will depend on the ambient temperature. The
graph below shows shear strength developed with time on steel
pins and collars at different temperatures and tested according
to ISO 10123.

TYPICAL CURING PERFORMANCE
Cure speed vs. substrate
The rate of cure will depend on substrate used. The graph
below shows shear strength developed with time on steel pins
and collars compared to different materials and tested
according to ISO 10123.
Cure speed vs. activator
Where cure speed is unacceptably long, or large gaps are
present, applying activator to the surface will improve cure
speed. The graph below shows shear strength developed with
time using ACTIVATOR N and T on zinc dichromated steel
pins and collars and tested according to ISO 10123.
