LOCTITE® 609
A 1-part, high-strength, general purpose, anaerobic-curing retaining compound designed for bonding cylindrical fitting parts.
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.
- Low viscosity
- Augments press fits
- Fluorescent under UV for quality control
- Operating temperature: -55°C to 150°C (-65°F to 300°F)
