| Permatex® Large Diameter Thread locker RED is a 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 1 inch or larger diameter nut and bolt assemblies where future disassembly is improbable. Excellent chemical resistance and temperature resistance range of -54°C to +149°C (-65°F to +300°F). Meets Military Specification Mil-S-46163A Type I, Grade L. The rate of cure will depend on the material used. Permatex® Large Diameter Threadlocker RED will react faster and stronger with Active Metals. However, Inactive Metals will require the use of an 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). Where cure speed is unacceptably long, or large gaps are present, applying an activator (Surface Prep) to the surface will improve cure speed. A 3/8-16 steel nut and bolt assembly will fixture in 5 minutes using an activator, while fixturing will strength developed with time using Permatex Surface Prep Activator.
