Low-strength threadlocker for the locking and sealing of small fasteners under 6.35 mm in diameter. Prevents loosening from shock and vibration, removable with hand tools.
If you’re working with small diameter screws made of low strength metals (e.g., aluminium or brass), try LOCTITE® 222. It is ideal for low-strength threadlocking of adjustment screws, countersunk head screws, and set screws; on collars, pulleys, tool holders and controllers. It works on most metals without primer, including passive substrates such as stainless steel, aluminium and plated surfaces. It also cures through light coatings of corrosion prevention oils without having to clean the parts. 
  • Ideal for low-strength threadlocking of adjusting screws, countersunk head screws and set screws
  • Prevents loosening on vibrating assemblies, e.g. pumps, gear boxes or presses
  • Ideal for small thread sizes up to 6.35 mm
  • Permits disassembly with hand tools
  • P1 NSF Reg. No.: 123002

How to

Step by Step Guide

1. Preparation - Cleaning

It is recommended to use LOCTITE® SF 7063/7064 to degrease and clean surfaces prior to applying adhesive.

2. Preparation - Activation

If cure speed is too slow due to passive metals (stainless steel, aluminium and plated metals) or low temperature (below 5°C), use activator LOCTITE® SF 7649 (see cure speed vs activator graph in the TDS).

3. Application

Apply liquid threadlocker to the engagement area.

4. Application - Through Hole

Insert bolt and apply threadlocker to the exposed thread. Assemble nut and tighten to the correct/specified torque.

5. Application - Blind Hole

Apply into lower third of blind hole.

6. Assembly

Assemble and tighten. If several bolts are being assembled, torque them down to the correct value within the fixture.

7. Disassembly

Disassemble with standard hand tools.

Hint

For the disassembly of corroded or seized parts use LOCTITE® LB 8040 Freeze and Release.
