LOCTITE® 290 Threadlocker Wicking Grade Green
LOCTITE® 290 is a green, medium-high strength threadlocker specifically designed for the locking and sealing of threaded fasteners. This anaerobic adhesive features low viscosity that allows it to wick between engaged threads through capillary action, eliminating the need for disassembly prior to application.
Key Features
- Wicking Grade Formula: Low viscosity allows penetration into pre-assembled fasteners
- Medium-High Strength: Provides secure locking while allowing disassembly with hand tools and localized heating
- Anaerobic Cure: Cures when confined in the absence of air between close-fitting metal surfaces
- Enhanced Oil Tolerance: Superior performance in challenging conditions with industrial oils
- Temperature Resistant: Operating range from -55°C to +150°C (-67°F to +302°F)
Performance Benefits
- Prevents loosening and leakage due to shock and vibration
- Works effectively on all metals including stainless steel, aluminum, and plated surfaces
- Can fill porosities in welds, castings and powdered metal parts
- Sets in 20 minutes, reaches full strength in 24 hours
- Meets MIL-S-46163A Type III Grade R specifications
Ideal Applications
- Pre-assembled fasteners requiring medium-high strength locking
- Instrumentation fasteners and electrical connectors
- Set screws and adjustment screws
- Fasteners on vibrating assemblies (pumps, gear boxes, presses)
- Sealing hairline cracks and porosities
