LOCTITE® 567
Features and Benefits
LOCTITE 567 is an off-white, UL approved, low disassembly strength methacrylate thread sealant, ideal for sealing coarse threads up to M80/R3”.
LOCTITE® 567 is an off-white, low strength, thixotropic methacrylate thread sealant. It cures in the absence of air and by contact with metals when confined within threads up to M80/R3”. It is best suited for use on coarse metal threads and its breakaway torque rating is 1.7Nm. Viscosity is 280,000 - 800,000 mPa·s and service temperature -55 to +200ºC. UL approved.
- Single component - clean and easy to apply
- Doesn’t creep, shrink or block systems
- UL approved
- Provides an instant low pressure seal
- Thixotropic and high/very high viscosity

How to
Step by Step Guide
1. Preparation
2. Preparation - Activation
If cure speed is too slow due to passive metals (stainless steel, aluminum and plated metals) or low temperatures (below 5°C), use LOCTITE® SF 7649 activator. Allow to dry.
3. 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.
4. Assembly
Assemble fittings using wrench tightening in accordance with manufacturers' recommendations.
