This medium-strength threadlocker delivers consistent performance, ensuring bolts and threaded connections remain secure while still allowing for disassembly with standard hand tools. It is suitable for a variety of metals and finds application in environments where oil residues are present.
Easy Application and Fast Fixture TimesDesigned for convenience, Loctite 243 can be quickly applied directly from its 50 ml bottle. The product sets in as little as 10 minutes on steel and brass, and in 20 minutes on copper, achieving full cure in 24 hours. Its liquid form facilitates thorough coverage and consistent locking across all thread types, up to M36, optimizing workflow efficiency.
FAQs of Loctite 243 Medium Strength, Oil Resistant:
Q: How do I apply Loctite 243 for optimal threadlocking performance?
A: Ensure surfaces are clean and dry if possible, although Loctite 243 is oil-tolerant for minor contamination. Apply the liquid evenly over the threads and assemble components. The adhesive requires anaerobic conditions, so cure begins when parts are in contact. Initial handling is possible after the fixture time, while full cure is achieved after 24 hours.
Q: What types of fasteners and applications is Loctite 243 suitable for?
A: Loctite 243 is designed for use with metal fasteners up to M36, making it ideal for automotive, machinery, equipment assembly, and maintenance applications. It is especially useful where medium strength and oil resistance are needed, and it meets ISO 10964 standards.
Q: When can the assembled parts be handled after using Loctite 243?
A: The fixture time varies depending on the substrate: approximately 10 minutes for steel and brass, 20 minutes for copper. However, the full cure, providing maximum strength, is achieved after 24 hours at room temperature.
Q: Where can I purchase Loctite 243 in India?
A: Loctite 243 is available through authorized distributors, suppliers, and traders in India. Look for reputable industrial supply stores or contact official Loctite representatives for purchasing information.
Q: What process should I follow if I need to remove fasteners locked with Loctite 243?
A: Fasteners locked with Loctite 243 can be removed with standard hand tools, as the product is formulated for removability without requiring excessive force or special techniques.
Q: What are the key benefits of using Loctite 243 threadlocker?
A: Benefits include reliable thread securing, resistance to oil contamination, medium strength allowing removal with standard tools, suitability for large fasteners up to M36, and temperature resistance up to 180C. It improves assembly integrity and prevents loosening due to vibration.
