- Description
- Technical specification
For bulk-processing thread sealant applications, try LOCTITE® DRI 516 GM-NA. This non-toxic, pre-applied water-based sealant is perfect for roll-coated or flow-coated bulk processing applications. When convection oven dried, it becomes a resilient, tight-clinging, non-curing sealant for tapered or straight threads. It's particularly ideal where re-adjustments are required, e.g. rear axle filler plugs, bearing adjuster nuts, pressure gauges and sensors, brake fittings, pipe fittings, and compressor pipe plugs. It's also perfect for cable connectors, screws for plastic assemblies, adjustment screws, overhead fire sprinklers, shower heads, and door closure hardware. Good for applications with an operating range of -54°C to 150°C (-65°F to 302°F). This material is required for all General Motors and Stellantis requirements outside of Europe as the sealant is not REACH compliant.
