Loctite 638

For Assembly 1. For best results, clean all surfaces (external and internal)with a LOCTITE® cleaning solvent and allow to dry. 2. To accelerate cure speed or where large gaps are present, use activator and allow to dry. 3. For Slip Fitted Assemblies, apply adhesive around the leading edge of the pin and the inside of the collar and use a rotating motion during assembly to ensure good coverage. 4. For Press Fitted Assemblies, apply adhesive thoroughly to both bond surfaces and assemble at high press on rates. 5. For Shrink Fitted Assemblies, the adhesive should be coated onto the part to produce a smooth, even film of material. If heating the hub for assembly, coat the pin. If the pin is to be cooled for assembly, coat the hub. If both heating and cooling is to be done, apply material to cooled part. Avoid condensation on cooled parts. 6. Parts should not be disturbed until sufficient handling strength is achieved. For Disassembly 1. Remove with standard hand tools. 2. If needed, apply localized heat to the assembly to approximately 250 °C. Disassemble while hot. 3. If this temperature is not possible, heat as much as possible and use mechanical aids. For Cleanup 1. Cured product can be removed with a combination of soaking in a Loctite solvent and mechanical abrasion such as a wire brush.
