The product is used to lock and seal threaded fasteners against loosening and leakage from shock and vibration. It is particularly suitable for set screws, small diameter or long engagement length fasteners, and can be disassembled with standard hand tools without shearing the screw.
LOCTITER 222 is thixotropic to reduce migration after application, fluoresces under UV light for inspection, has a typical viscosity (20 rpm) of 900–1,500 mPa·s and specific gravity 1.05 g/cm³, shows good resistance to motor oil, petrol, brake fluid, water/glycol, and can be accelerated with activators.
fasteners ≤6.35 mm (1/4") diameter; adjustment screws, countersunk screws, set screws; small screws in aluminum or brass; fasteners on vibrating assemblies such as pumps, gear boxes, presses; carburetors, relay locks, headlamps, throttle body assemblies, choke assemblies, fuel injection set screws, body panel mounting fasteners, etc.
