LOCTITE® DRI 2045C

LOCTITE® DRI 2045 is a medium to high strength pre-applied threadlocker with good substrate compatibility specially designed to meet automotive specification requirements. It is suitable for use on plain and passivated metal surfaces. This product has good hot strength and heat aging capabilities up to 220°C as well as good solvent resistance properties. The pre-applied film is dry-to-the-touch and remains an inert coating until assembly. During assembly microcapsules, which are contained within the coating, are crushed thereby releasing an active ingredient which initiates the curing process. LOCTITE® DRI 2045 prevents loosening of threaded fasteners. When cured, this product will also act as a thread sealant. It is particularly suitable in situations where threaded parts are required to be ready for immediate use in an adhesive joint in a high volume production environment where it may not be possible to apply a liquid product on line.
