LOCTITE 601 HIGH STRENGTH LOW VISCOSITY 250ML 142728

LOCTITE® 601 retaining compound is a high-strength, single-component solution designed for cylindrical assemblies. The low viscosity enables effective penetration between metal surfaces to provide permanent retention with a maximum diametral clearance of 0.1 mm. This acrylic liquid cures in the absence of air between close-fitting metal surfaces, ensuring secure retention by preventing loosening and leakage caused by shock loads and vibration. It achieves fixture on steel in 25 minutes and remains effective across a service temperature range from -55 °C to 150 °C. UV fluorescence facilitates efficient quality control inspections.

Standards:
LOCTITE® 601 is evaluated using several standardised test methods employed to characterise the performance of anaerobic retaining compounds:
• ISO 10123: test method for determining the compressive shear strength of shaft-and-hub assemblies.
• ISO 10964: test method used to evaluate breakloose torque and prevailing torque characteristics.
• ISO 11359-2: test method used to determine the coefficient of thermal expansion of cured materials.
• ISO 8302: test method used to determine the thermal conductivity characteristics of cured materials.
• EN 12092: method used for measuring the viscosity of the uncured product.
