Main features
- Medium-Strength Hand-Tool Removal
- 8 N m Breakaway Torque
- Controlled One-Part Application
Product Description
LOCTITE GRD CV Medium-Strength Threadlocker is a one-part blue anaerobic liquid for locking and sealing fine-threaded nuts, bolts, and studs. Its 100 to 250 mPa s viscosity supports controlled placement on threaded metal assemblies, while the medium-strength cured bond allows removal with standard hand tools. The material requires no mixing and cures after assembly when confined between close-fitting metal surfaces. After 24 hours at 22 deg C, it develops 8 N m breakaway torque on 3/8 x 24 grade 2 steel fasteners under ISO 10964 testing. Applications include fine-thread fasteners that need secure retention with planned service access.
Key features
- 8 N m Breakaway Torque: Typical breakaway torque is measured after 24 hours at 22 deg C on grade 2 steel fasteners.
- Medium-Strength Serviceability: The cured assembly can be removed with standard hand tools.
- Controlled One-Part Viscosity: The 100 to 250 mPa s liquid requires no mixing before application.
Applications / Suitable for
- Fine-threaded nuts, bolts, and studs
- Threaded assemblies requiring hand-tool removal
- Metal fastener locking and sealing
