Description

LOCTITE® 290™ is designed for the locking and sealing of threaded fasteners. Because of its low viscosity and capillary action, the product wicks between engaged threads and
eliminates the need to disassemble prior to application. The product cures when confined in the absence of air between close fitting metal surfaces and prevents loosening and leakage from shock and vibration. The product can also fill porosity in welds, castings and powdered metal parts.

Application

  • Locking pre-assembled fasteners: It is ideal for fasteners that are already in place, such as set screws, electrical connectors, and instrumentation screws.
  • Preventing loosening due to vibration and shock: The adhesive cures to a hard polymer, preventing unwanted movement and leakage in dynamic assemblies like pumps, gearboxes, and presses.
  • Sealing porosity in metal parts: Its low viscosity allows it to penetrate and seal small voids or cracks in welds, castings, and powdered metal components.
  • Use in automotive and industrial maintenance: It is widely used in engines, machinery, and vehicles to secure fasteners and prevent corrosion and leaks.
  • Maintaining critical adjustments: The adhesive locks components in place, which helps maintain specific torque or position adjustments after assembly

Direction to Use

For Pre-assembled Threaded Parts with Thru Holes 1. Prior to assembly, clean all threads (bolt and hole) with a LOCTITE® cleaning solvent and allow to dry. 2. For Thru Holes, apply several drops of product at screw and body juncture. 3. Avoid touching the bottle tip to the metal surface. For Assembly 1. For Blind Holes, apply several drops of the product down the internal threads to the bottom of the hole For Porosity Sealing 1. Clean area and apply localized heat to the area to approximately 121°C. 2. Allow to cool to approximately 85°C and apply the product. For Disassembly 1. Remove with standard hand tools. 2. In rare instances where hand tools do not work because of excessive engagement length, apply localized heat to nut or bolt to approximately 250 °C. Disassemble while hot. Clean-up 1. Cured product can be removed with a combination of soaking in a LOCTITE® solvent and mechanical abrasion such as a wire brush.
