Loctite 243 Threadlocker

LOCTITE 243 Threadlocker provides superior adhesion, providing up to 26Nm of holding force on threads, even when properly tightened. It is particularly effective in preventing screws from loosening or coming off, even when equipment is subjected to strong vibrations, such as on moving vehicles.

LOCTITE 243 will begin to cure after a minimum of 10 minutes after application to the screw or bolt surface. For maximum strength and effectiveness, allow 24 hours for complete cure. LOCTITE 243 has excellent heat resistance, remaining stable at temperatures up to 300°F (150°C) without liquefaction, ensuring long-lasting durability and performance.

Distinguishing about Loctite threadlocker

Loctite glue is divided into 4 types with different colors, suitable for each specific application.

• Green: Used for small screws such as those in laptops, eyeglasses, or carburetor adjustment screws.
• Purple: Suitable for watches and wearable electronic devices, ensuring a secure lock and easy installation and removal.
• Blue: The most popular type, helps increase 26NM grip force on the thread, preventing the screw from coming loose when the vehicle vibrates.
• Red: The strongest type, used for important parts of heavy duty machinery.

General introduction to Loctite 243

Loctite 243 is one of the widely used thread locking products thanks to its outstanding features and high durability. This product is designed to firmly fix screw surfaces, helping the device maintain long-term operation without worrying about being disassembled during use.

Loctite 243 uses Acrylic technology with the main chemical component being Dimethacrylate ester, creating a blue liquid with medium viscosity. When exposed to an anaerobic environment, the glue quickly solidifies, providing strength to the bonds.

This product is especially suitable for bolts and screws with diameters from ¼” to 3/4” (M6 to M20), with medium locking force. The removal force/resistance when removing is measured at 180/62 lb.in. (20/7 Nm), meeting the needs of use in many industrial and civil applications.

Specifications

Outstanding advantages of Loctite 243

1. Prevent loosening and unwanted movement:
   Loctite 243 glue helps to firmly fix joints, minimizing loose threads during use.
2. Prevent leaks:
   The product creates a perfect seal on threads, effectively preventing gas or liquid leakage.
3. Protection against corrosion:
   Loctite 243 enhances the strength of joints by protecting them from the effects of corrosion and oxidation.
4. Anti-shake:
   The product helps maintain stability of joints, even under conditions of strong vibration or high pressure.
5. Ensure safe clamping:
   The adhesive holds the clamp load steady, protecting machine parts from loosening or misalignment.
6. Clean and easy to use:
   With its clean powder composition, Loctite 243 is easily applied without causing contamination or affecting the surrounding environment.
7. Flexible application:
   The adhesive can be used on a wide range of thread sizes, reducing storage costs as there is no need to diversify adhesive products.
8. Effective thread sealing:
   Loctite 243 allows use on through and blind holes, helping to ensure tightness on all threaded surfaces.

To achieve the best adhesion, you should follow these steps:

• Surface preparation:
  Clean the inside and outside surfaces of the joint with Loctite's specialized solvent to remove dirt and grease. Then, dry the material before applying the glue.
• Perforation:
  Apply a few drops of Loctite 243 glue to the bolt at the contact area with the drilled hole surface to secure it firmly.
• Connector:
  Use glue to fasten the end threads of the wearer, making sure to fill all voids. For larger threads and voids, adjust the amount of glue accordingly to create a strong bond.
• Blind hole:
  Apply a few drops of glue to the bottom 1/3 or bottom of the blind hole, making sure the glue is evenly distributed for a secure lock.

Instructions for using Loctite 243 glue

1. Prepare the surface before applying glue

To ensure optimal adhesion, clean both surfaces with a specialized solvent. Then, quickly dry the surface to completely remove dirt and grease. If the adhesion speed is slow, you can use a catalyst such as Loctite 7649 or Loctite 7471T to increase efficiency.

2. How to apply glue to each type of joint

• Threaded hole: Apply a few drops of glue directly onto the threads inside the hole.
• Threaded hole with bottom: Apply glue 1/3 of the way down the hole, concentrating near the bottom.
• Sealing: Apply sealant around the joint to ensure maximum sealing. After application, assemble the parts according to specifications.

3. Requirements for disassembly and assembly

In case of disassembly, heat the joint before doing so to easily separate the parts without causing damage.

4. Notes when using Loctite glue

• Do not use in oxygen-rich or pure oxygen environments. This may be dangerous or reduce the effectiveness of the product.
• Avoid use on strong oxidizing materials such as chlorine or similar compounds.

By following the above steps correctly, you will ensure superior adhesion and durability for your Loctite adhesive applications.

Instructions for preserving Loctite 243 glue

To maintain the quality and effectiveness of Loctite 243 glue, you need to store the product properly. Keep the glue in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, as sunlight can change the compounds inside, affecting the product's adhesion.

After use, the bottle cap should be wiped clean and the bottle should be closed immediately. This will prevent air from entering the bottle, which will reduce the quality and durability of the adhesive. Proper storage will ensure that Loctite 243 is always available to provide optimum adhesive performance for every application.
