Loctite 601 Retaining Compound

• Clean Surfaces. Degrease both internal and external metal surfaces thoroughly with a solvent cleaner like LOCTITE® SF 7063 and allow them to dry. • Activate Inactive Metals (If Needed). If bonding passive metals (such as stainless steel or plated surfaces) or working in cold conditions, spray with LOCTITE® SF 7649 or LOCTITE® SF 7471 activator and let it dry. • Apply & Assemble. For slip fits, apply a bead around the leading edge of the shaft and inside the collar, then rotate the parts during assembly to spread the liquid evenly. For press fits, coat both surfaces thoroughly before pressing together. • Disassembly Note. Because LOCTITE 601 forms a permanent bond, disassembly requires localized heating to around 250°C while separating the parts
