Product Description
Lockfast T42 is designed for the sealing and locking of threaded fasteners which may require disassembly with standard handtools. The product is a single component anaerobic, medium strength thixotropic, acrylic based threadlocker. The product cures when confined in the absence of air between close fitting metal surfaces and prevents leakage and loosening from vibration and shock.
