Threadlockers
When connecting metal car parts, you can use a threadlocker. For example, are you going to
replace a part and need to make a screw or bolt connection? Then use a threadlocker
to ensure a tight seal. Screw bolt connections can vibrate loose while driving
without a threadlocker. When the parts come loose, this can lead to unpleasant
situations such as an oil leak. Threadlocker is resistant to extreme
temperatures and keeps the parts together. After use, it will take
approximately 24 hours for the product to cure and create a good seal between
the parts.
What threadlocker do I need?
There are
different types of threadlockers that can be distinguished by color. The
different colors represent the quality and strength of the product.
Red threadlocker - the red agent is the substance with the greatest strength. This
product can harden within 24 hours and can only be removed by heat. It is
therefore recommended to use this agent only for permanent connections and
large bolts.
Blue Threadlocker - This color is usually the most commonly used and is medium strength. Placed
connections with this agent can be loosened using hand tools. You can use this
thread compound for all metal threadlockers.
Green Threadlocker - This high-strength agent is suitable for sealing bolts subject to heavy
loads. This product can also be released by applying heat.
Apply threadlocker
Before
applying the threadlocker, always check whether the expiration date is correct.
The fluid can become outdated and therefore function less well. Make sure that
the parts you are going to secure are clean and that you have shaken the
threading agent well before use. Apply the product to the part to be locked and
make sure to tighten it firmly. Then let the adhesive dry and harden. The threadlocker
reaches its final strength after approximately 24 hours.
