LOCTITE® 278
Features and Benefits
This green, high strength, medium-viscosity threadlocking adhesive prevents unwanted movement, loosening, leaks and corrosion. It has high temperature resistance and, with no need for prior cleaning, cures through light coatings of corrosion-prevention oils and cutting fluids.
LOCTITE® 278 is a green, high strength, medium-viscosity threadlocker with a fixture time on steel and brass of 20 minutes, and on stainless steel of 60 minutes. It can cure through light coatings of corrosion-prevention oils and cutting fluids without pre-cleaning of the surfaces, withstands high temperatures up to 200°C (392°F), and has proven capable of providing breakaway torque on M10 bolts of 42 Nm.
