Henkel has just confirmed one its most popular thread sealants, LOCTITE® 577, can now be applied to even more applications thanks to its reformulation.
As well as being more tolerant of oil, this medium strength, anaerobic sealant also has greater temperature resistance and improved curing on passive metals such as stainless steel.
It provides a reliable alternative to tapes and pastes, preventing leakage of gasses and liquids. It’s clean and easy to apply and can be used on any size pipe fitting. The resultant seal resists vibrational loosening and other stresses and will not creep or shrink. It prevents galling and corrosion in the thread and eliminates seizure.
Higher service temperature is another benefit of the new LOCTITE® 577. Its range is now -55°C to +180°C, 30°C. It remains well suited to overhead applications, as its viscosity prevents dripping. As before, this sealant meets P1 NSF, DVGW and WRAS approvals.
