Products include thread lockers, sealants, gasket makers, cleaners and lubricants. Permatex® High Temperature Thread locker RED is a high temperature, high strength anaerobic thread locking material, which cures between engaged threads to form a unitized assembly that resists virtually all leakage, shock and vibration. The product is a single component, anaerobic liquid that cures when confined in the absence of air between close fitting metal surfaces. Ideal for all 3/8 inch to 1 inch diameter nut and bolt assemblies. Excellent chemical resistance and temperature resistance range of -54°C to +232°C (-65°F to +450°F). OEM Specified. The rate of cure will depend on the material used. Permatex® High Temperature Threadlocker RED will react faster and stronger with Active Metals. However, Inactive Metals will require the use of a activator (Surface Prep) to obtain maximum strength and cure speed at room temperature. The rate of cure will depend on the ambient temperature. Full cure is attainable in 24 hours at room temperature, 22°C (72°F), or 1 hour at 93°C (200°F). To shorten cure time or if an inactive surface is present, applying a primer (Surface Prep) to the surface will improve minutes without an activator. Full cure in 24 hours for both procedures.
