Description

LOCTITE® 574™ seals close fitting joints between rigid metal faces and flanges. The product cures when confined in the absence of air between close fitting metal surfaces. Provides resistance to low pressures immediately after assembly of flanges. Typically used as a form-in-place gasket on rigid flanged connections, e.g. gearbox and engine casings, etc. The thixotropic nature of LOCTITE® 574™ reduces the migration of liquid product after application to the substrate

Application

  • Form-in-place gaskets: It is typically used as a form-in-place gasket on rigid flanged connections, replacing traditional pre-cut gaskets.
  • Engine components: Ideal for sealing gearbox and engine casings in the automotive industry.
  • Industrial machinery: Used for sealing rigid metal parts in industrial manufacturing applications, such as cast iron components and pump housings.
  • High-resistance sealing: Provides excellent resistance to oil, water, and glycol, making it suitable for environments where these fluids are present.
  • Instant low-pressure sealing: Offers resistance to low pressures immediately after assembly, with high pressure resistance once fully cured.
  • Reduced migration: The thixotropic (gel-like) nature of the product minimizes the migration of the liquid sealant after application and assembly.
  • Various metal substrates: Effective on active metals like steel, iron, brass, and copper (requires an activator/primer for inactive metals like stainless steel). 

Direction to Use

1. For best performance bond surfaces should be clean and free from grease. 2. The product is designed for close fitting flanged parts with gaps up to 0.25 mm. 3. Apply manually as a continuous bead or by screen printing to one surface of the flanges. 4. Low pressures (<0.5 MPa) may be used when testing to confirm a complete seal immediately after assembly and before curing. 5. Flanges should be tightened
