RHS1 Retaining High Strength

Description

RHS1 Retaining High Strength is a single component, resin based, high viscosity, high strength product used for strengthening mechanical connections.

  • Clean male and female threads before assembly with an absorbent tissue paper to remove any cutting oil.
  • Apply the adhesive with a 360 turn to leading threads of the male and female fittings.
  • Use an absorbent tissue paper to wipe off excess jointing compound in the direction of the thread.
  • Assembly parts and hold on for 24 hours at 22-24°C to ensure full curing of jointing compound.
  • For disassembly, use hand tools to remove mating parts. When it is hard to dissemble at room temperature, apply local heat until reaching 250°C and disassemble while hot. Then, remove any residual cured adhesive mechanically and clean parts with a proper solvent, acetone.
  • Can be used on all kinds of rough surfaces.
  • Fills gaps in worn out joints
  • Fits bearings, prevents the dislocation.
  • Fills smallest gaps due to its low viscosity and is used in sensitive fittings.
  • Fits impellers and shafts together.
  • Locks linings and boots to their beds and on the shaft.
