Description

Loctite® 542 Thread Sealant 50g

A medium-strength, fast-curing thread sealant formulated specifically for locking and sealing fine-threaded metal pipes and fittings, commonly found in hydraulic, pneumatic, and general piping systems. Ideal for use in critical fluid filtration systems, this versatile adhesive prevents leakage and ensures reliable sealing in environments where vibration and fluid exposure are prevalent.

Designed to provide a strong, secure seal, LOCTITE® 542 helps to protect threaded metal assemblies from loosening due to vibration. It also offers excellent resistance to a wide range of fluids, including fuel, oil, coolants, and hydraulic fluids, making it perfect for applications in industrial and automotive systems.

Key Features and Benefits

• Medium-Strength Bond: Provides a reliable seal for fine-threaded metal connections without the need for disassembly for regular maintenance.
• Fast-Curing Formula: Cures quickly to form a durable bond that seals threads against fluid leakage and prevents loosening from vibrations.
• Thixotropic Properties: Its thixotropic nature minimizes the migration of liquid product after application, ensuring the sealant stays in place without dripping or running.
• Fluid Resistance: Resistant to a wide range of fluids, including fuel, oil, coolants, and hydraulic fluids, providing long-lasting performance in demanding environments.
• No Fillers or Particles: The sealant is free from fillers or particles that could potentially clog or damage fluid filtration systems.
• Instant Low-Pressure Seal: Offers an immediate low-pressure seal to prevent leaks right after application.
• Ideal for Fine-Threaded Connections: Perfect for hydraulic, pneumatic, and general piping fittings that require a strong, reliable seal.
• Vibration Resistance: Effectively locks connections to prevent loosening caused by shock and vibration, ensuring long-term integrity.

Approval and Certification

• DVGW Approval (EN 751-1): NG-5146AR0855
• Suitable for Metal Threads Only: Specifically designed for use on metal threads, ensuring optimal performance in sealing metal-to-metal connections.

Usage Instructions

• Application: Apply LOCTITE® 542 evenly to the male threads of the fitting. Ensure the threads are clean and dry for optimal bonding.
• Assembly: Assemble the threaded components and tighten as usual. The sealant will cure quickly to form a reliable seal.
• Curing: LOCTITE® 542 forms a strong bond in the absence of air and provides an instant low-pressure seal while continuing to cure over 24 hours for full strength.
• Disassembly: Heat may be required for disassembly, depending on the strength of the bond.
