L230 Threadlocker (Low Strength)

Description

L230 Threadlocker (Low Strength) is a low-strength, easy to remove screw lock. Works on all metals, especially good on low strength metals which could damage during disassembly, e.g. brass or aluminium.

  • 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.
  • Ideal for low-strength thread-locking of adjusting screws.
  • Easy to remove screw lock.
  • Especially good on low strength metals which could damage during disassembly, e.g. brass or aluminium.
