Features and benefits
- Prevents loosening and leakage from shock & vibration: It occupies all gaps between the mating threads and cures into a hard thermoset plastic that strengthens the assembly against shocks and seals the threads.
- Fluorescent: It has a characteristic blue colour that fluoresces under UV light. This helps during service to detect as to whether or not the product had been applied.
- Medium strength: When required, assemblies locked with this can be easily removed using standard hand tools.
