LOCTITE® 609

Features and Benefits

This high strength, general purpose, anaerobic-curing retaining compound is designed for bonding cylindrical fitting parts. Mil spec.
To lock bushings and sleeves in housings on shafts, augment press fits, or to bond any close-fitting cylindrical parts, LOCTITE® 609 is a good choice. The green, high strength, anaerobic-curing retaining compound cures in the absence of air between close fitting metal surfaces, providing a high-strength and corrosion-free bond. Typical applications include rotor to shafts in fractional and subfractional horsepower motors.
