LOCTITE® 577

Features and Benefits

Medium strength, thixotropic, general purpose thread sealant for straight-to-straight and straight-to-taper threaded fittings. Fills the space between threaded parts and seals and locks at the same time.
When you need a general purpose thread sealant with high temperature- and contamination-tolerance, as well as effectiveness on inactive as well as active metals, choose LOCTITE® 577. Designed for the locking and sealing of threaded metal pipes and fittings, this product provides an instant, low-pressure seal and won't creep, shrink or shred. Perfect for use on stainless steel without the need for surface activation, it offers gap performance to 0.01in and will cure even in the presence of minor surface contaminations from cutting, lubrication, anti-corrosion and protection fluids, or cleaners containing surfactants and corrosion inhibitors.
  • Excellent chemical resistance
  • Thixotropic for ease of application
  • Medium strength for ease of disassembly
  • Cures on active and inactive metals
  • Registered to NSF Category P1
  • DVGW Approval (EN 751-1): DVGW Reg. No. NG-5146CQ0312

How to

Step by Step Guide

1. Preparation

Cleaning - It is recommended to use LOCTITE® SF 7063/7064/7070 to degrease and clean surfaces prior to applying adhesive. Activation - If cure speed is too slow due to passive metals (stainless steel, aluminum and plated metals) or low temperature (below 5°C), apply activator LOCTITE® SF 7240 or LOCTITE® SF 7649 (see cure speed vs activator graph in the TDS). Allow to dry.

2. Application

Apply a 360° bead to the leading male thread, leaving the first thread free. For bigger threads, apply both on male and female threads. For manual dispensing the use of a peristaltic handgun is recommended to ensure a consistent application volume.

3. Assembly

Assemble fittings using wrench tightening in accordance with manufacturers' recommendations.

4. Disassembly

Disassemble with standard hand tools. If not possible, apply localized heat to approximately 500°F/260°C; disassemble parts while hot. For corroded or seized parts use LOCTITE® LB 8040 Freeze and Release.
