LOCTITE®
577™ is designed for the locking and sealing of
metal threaded pipes and fittings. Particularly suitable for use
on stainless steel without the need for surface activation. The
product cures when confined in the absence of air between
close fitting metal surfaces and prevents loosening and
leakage from shock and vibration. The thixotropic nature of
LOCTITE®
577™ reduces the migration of liquid product after
application to the substrate.
LOCTITE®
577™ provides robust
curing performance. It not only works on active metals (e.g.
brass, copper) but also on passive substrates such as stainless
steel and plated surfaces. The product offers gap performance
to 0.25 mm (0.01 in), high temperature performance and
contamination tolerance. It cures in the presence of minor
surface contaminations from various oils, such as cutting,
lubrication, anti-corrosion and protection fluids and cleaners
containing surfactants and corrosion inhibitors.
