Product 577
Worldwide Version, October 1995
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
LOCTITE
廬
Product 577 is a single component, medium
strength, thixotropic anaerobic sealant with fast curing
properties. The product cures rapidly when confined in the
absence of air between close fitting metal surfaces.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Used to seal metal threaded fittings. Particularly suitable for
use on stainless steel without the need for surface activation.

Cure speed vs. temperature
The rate of cure will depend on the ambient temperature. The
graph below shows the breakaway strength developed with
time at different temperatures on M10 steel nuts and bolts and
tested according to ISO 10964.

TYPICAL CURING PERFORMANCE
Cure speed vs. substrate
The rate of cure will depend on substrate used. The graph
below shows the breakaway strength developed with time on
M10 steel nuts and bolts compared to different materials and
tested according to ISO 10964.

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 the shear strength developed
with time using ACTIVATOR N and T on M10 Zinc Dichromate
steel nuts and bolts and tested according to
ISO 10964.

Cure speed vs. bond gap
The rate of cure will depend on the bondline gap. Gaps in
threaded fasteners depend on thread type, quality and size.

on steel pins and collars at different controlled gaps and tested
according to ISO 10123.
