Threadlocker TL43

Introduction

Threadlocker TL43 is a medium-strength, non-permanent locking adhesive designed for locking and sealing bolts, screws, studs (double-ended threads) and metal threaded fittings against loosening caused by shock and vibration in the absence of air.

Thanks to its thixotropic properties, this product performs well on all metals, including passive metals such as stainless steel, aluminium and plated metals, on both horizontal and vertical surfaces.

In addition to allowing joints to be re-opened and re-tightened with standard hand tools, which makes it a suitable choice for applications that require both high strength and serviceability and periodic maintenance, this product also gives acceptable performance on surfaces with light contamination from oil and fluids.

For best performance of this adhesive, contamination from industrial oils (such as engine oil, anti-rust oils and cutting fluids) must be thoroughly cleaned from the surfaces.

Applications

• Locking and sealing of small to medium-sized metal bolts and threads in industrial equipment
• Vehicle machinery and systems exposed to vibration, stress and pressure (such as pumps, gearboxes and presses)

Main features

1. Medium locking strength (Medium Strength):

Creates a safe, reliable joint that prevents bolts and threaded joints from loosening due to vibration, impact and mechanical stress.

1. Can be re-opened with standard hand tools:

Allows servicing, periodic maintenance and opening and closing of joints without the need for specialised equipment.

1. Effective performance under vibration and mechanical shock:

Suitable for industrial equipment, machinery and parts that are continuously exposed to vibration.

1. Complete sealing of metal threaded joints:

Prevents leakage of fluids, air and gas in all kinds of threaded metal joints.

1. Can be used on all active and passive metals:

Good performance on steel, stainless steel, aluminium, plated metals and other industrial metal surfaces.

1. Highly stable thixotropic formulation:

The adhesive does not run on horizontal and vertical surfaces, giving better control during application.

1. Suitable resistance to vacuum conditions and industrial environments:

Maintains joint strength in harsh working conditions and sensitive industrial environments.

1. Ability to perform on surfaces with light oil contamination:

Maintains suitable performance even when the surface carries a small amount of oil or industrial fluids.

Directions for use

1. If the bolt and thread are contaminated, clean them.
2. Apply a suitable amount of adhesive to the bolt thread (not the whole bolt). For blind holes, also place a little adhesive inside the internal thread. There is no need to shake the bottle.
3. Tighten the joint to the appropriate torque.
4. Initial set is reached after about 20 to 30 minutes, functional strength within 1 to 3 hours, and final strength after 24 hours.
5. To disassemble joints, use a suitable hand tool. (To make the work easier, it is suggested to first apply a little heat to the cross-section concerned)

Storage and warnings

- Wear gloves and a mask when using.

- Avoid contact with skin and eyes.

- Use in a well-ventilated area.

- Keep out of the reach of children.

- Store away from direct sunlight and heat sources, in a well-ventilated place.

Summary

Threadlocker TL43 (ANAEROBIC THREADLOCKER TL43) is a professional choice for fixing and sealing all kinds of bolts and metal threaded joints used in industrial and automotive environments and in equipment subject to vibration. With medium holding strength, resistance to vibration, the ability to be re-opened and compatibility with a wide range of metals, this product provides a reliable solution for increasing safety and preventing joints from loosening. If you are looking for a thread adhesive with stable performance and easy repair and maintenance, TL43 will be a practical and reliable option for industrial use.
