 INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION TO ANAEROBIC ADHESIVES AND SEALANTS
Anaerobic adhesives and sealants were developed by Loctite in 1953 and since then have
significantly evolved to the most technically advanced range of industrial maintenance
products available today. Products that increase equipment reliability, reduce costs and
improve quality throughout industry.
Anaerobic adhesives and sealants are resins that convert from liquid to a tough structural
solid in the absence of air and the presence of metal. The primary functions of anaerobic
resins are:

Threadlocking Thread Sealing Gasketing Retaining

Each one of these functions is based upon control of five major variables: strength,
viscosity, adhesion, flexibility, and temperature resistance. These five parameters give
anaerobics users considerable latitude in adjusting properties for optimum performance in
specific application areas.
Another variable that should be considered is the substrate in which the adhesive will
be applied. For certain substrates or other special requirements, the use of a primer
is recommended.

WHY USE A PRIMER?

1. Primers activate inactive surfaces.
2. Primers speed up cure times for faster return to service.
3. Primers speed curing time through larger gaps and deep threads (limits apply)*.
4. Primers substantially reduce cure times on cold parts (refer product TDS)*.
Primers act as cleaning agents.
Active surfaces (primer optional): brass, copper, bronze, iron, soft steel.
Inactive surfaces (primer required): aluminum, stainless steel, magnesium, zinc,
black oxide, cadmium, titanium, nickel, others.
*Refer to relevant product Technical Data Sheet

 BONDING
INTRODUCTION TO BONDING ADHESIVES

Within the broad range of Loctite adhesives you will always

find the solution to your bonding challenge. It is, however, extremely
important to have at least a basic knowledge of adhesive methodology in order to bond
two substrates together successfully. The three major
causes of bonding failures are attributed to:
• Poor evaluation of the bonding assembly
• Inadequate substrate preparation
• Improper adhesive selection
• Unsuitable joint design

BONDING ASSEMBLY
Bonding assembly has a direct impact in the adhesive performance. Choose a combination
of types of joints or joint stress distribution that maximizes bonding strength. Below are
different types of joints and stress distribution:

TYPES OF JOINTS

BUTT OVERLAP SINGLE STRAP DOUBLE STRAP

FAIR GOOD BETTER BEST

TYPES OF JOINT STRESS DISTRIBUTION

CLEAVAGE/PEEL TENSILE SHEAR COMPRESSIVE

FAIR GOOD BETTER BEST

JOINT WIDTH VS. OVERLAP

A wider bond line (Width) will be stronger than a lengthier one (Overlap):

RUSTPROOFING
 OPTIMUM USE OF LOCTITE® EXTEND® RUST TREATMENT

SURFACE PREPARATION — OLD STEEL:

Loose or “flaky” rust must be removed. Only conversion of firmly bonded rust will
result in durable protection. Oil, grease, old paint, mill scale, form oil, fingerprints,
water soluble surfaces and chlorides must be removed to allow Loctite Extend 754
Rust Treatment to react with rust. Ideal surfaces will show light rust as well as bare
metal surfaces.

RUST CONVERSION TIME AND APPEARANCE:

Two coats of Loctite 754 Extend Rust Treatment are recommended.
The first coat should develop a purple-black color within seconds. The second coat
should dry to a black color. The second coat should be applied within 15-30 minutes of
the first coat.

APPLICATION CONDITIONS:
Loctite 754 Extend Rust Treatment may be applied when surface and air are between
10°C and 32°C. Reaction is slower at lower temperatures. If temperature is too hot,
film may surface dry and bubble. High humidity is beneficial; it slows drying but assists
rust conversion. Loctite 754 Extend Rust Treatment should not be applied in conditions
of condensing humidity (e.g., fog, dew), on ice, in rain or in heavy sea (salt) spray
atmospheres. Steel surface may be damp but not wet (i.e., continuous visible film
of water). DO NOT APPLY LOCTITE 754 EXTEND Rust Treatment TO SURFACES IN
DIRECT SUNLIGHT.

APPLICATION EQUIPMENT METHODS:

Loctite 754 Extend Rust Treatment may be applied by brush, roller,
or spray. Brush or roller is suitable for small areas. Avoid sags and
ridges and keep edges wet by coating about a square yard at a
time. Roll away from previously coated area and then roll back. Do
not pour unused material back into the original container. NEVER
add solvents to Loctite 754 Extend Rust Treatment.
Spray application is recommended for larger areas. Airless spray
equipment is faster, and provides more effective conversion due to
improved surface penetration. Conventional air-spray equipment
may be used, but Loctite 754 Extend Rust Treatment may require
thinning up to 10% with water for proper spraying.

 CLEANING
GENERAL PURPOSE PARTS CLEANING

Loctite ODC-Free Cleaner & Degreaser is a non-aqueous,

hydrocarbon-based, non-CFC solvent designed for cleaning and
degreasing of surfaces to be assembled with an aerobics or bonded
with adhesives and sealants.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Used as a final pre-assembly cleaning treatment to remove most
greases, oils, lubrication fluids, metal cuttings and fines.

Loctite Chisel PAINT stripper

Loctite Chisel Paint Stripper removes gasket sealants in 10-15 minutes
Benefits
Removes cured gasket sealants and traditional gaskets in 10 to 15
minutes with minimal scraping. Usable on most types of surfaces is
designed to aid removal of cured chemical gaskets by softening the
gasket material on the flanges. Once applied, the product develops
a foam-like layer on the gasket, preventing it from running off the
desired location, thus allowing it to work for the required duration.
Typical applications
It is particularly suitable for removing gaskets from aluminum or
other soft metal flanges where excessive scraping could easily lead
to flange surface damage . It may also be used to aid removal of
adhesives, baked-on grease or oil, built-up carbon deposits, dried
oils, paint, varnish, etc. from metal flanges or surfaces.

NOTE: 1. The above information does not constitute a recommendation of sealant use. It is intended only as a guide for consideration by the purchaser with the expectation of favorable confirming test
results. It is impossible to test sealant reaction with the multitude of chemicals in existence, therefore, compatibility has been estimated based on a wide variety of customer experience.
2. With the stringent action of such chemicals as Freon, strong cold acids and caustics, thorough evaluation is suggested. Sealing of hot corrosive chemicals is not recommended.
3. Contact Loctite Corporation for use with chemicals not covered by this information.
