Screw locking is a means to preventing a screwed connection from being loosened by external influences.
After the screw has been coated with the adhesive, the adhesive remains inactive until it is activated by capsule breakage when the screw is inserted and then cures at room temperature.
Installation:
- Microencapsulated screws (Loctite) must be replaced and may not be reused
- Screw connection must be completed within 20 mins. (start of curing)
- Microencapsulated screws must not be retightened
- Thread of nut must be cleaned beforehand in event of repeated use
