Loctite 263 High-Strength Red Threadlocker, 6 mL Primerless Liquid Adhesive for Permanent Thread Locking
- The Loctite 263 High-Strength Red Threadlocker is a primerless, anaerobic adhesive formulated to permanently lock and seal threaded fasteners in automotive, industrial, and machinery applications. It prevents loosening and leakage caused by vibration, heat, and heavy mechanical loads.
- Features:
- High-strength locking formula designed for heavy-duty assemblies such as engine bolts, motor housings, and pump fasteners.
- Primerless technology enables use on all metals including stainless steel, aluminum, and plated surfaces.
- Oil-tolerant chemistry ensures consistent curing even on lightly contaminated or uncleaned fasteners.
- Temperature resistant up to 360°F (182°C) for reliable performance in demanding environments.
- Permanent locking strength—disassembly requires the use of localized heat for removal.
