LOCTITE® 272™

Product catalog summary
Product Description: LOCTITE® 272™ is an acrylic-based, high-strength threadlocker designed for permanent locking and sealing of threaded fasteners. It cures anaerobically when confined between metal surfaces, preventing loosening and leakage due to shock and vibration. It is suitable for large bolts and studs (M25 and larger).
Uncured Material Properties: The product appears as a red-orange liquid with a specific gravity of 1.11 at 25°C and a viscosity range of 4,000 to 15,000 mPa·s.
Curing Performance: Cure speed varies with substrate, temperature, and the use of activators. The product achieves full strength over time, with faster curing at higher temperatures and with activators like SF 7471™ or SF 7649™.
Cured Material Properties: The cured product has a thermal expansion coefficient of 80×10-6 K-1 and a thermal conductivity of 0.1 W/(m·K). It exhibits high adhesive strength, with breakaway torque of 23 N·m on M10 steel nuts and bolts.
Environmental Resistance: The product maintains significant strength under various environmental conditions, including exposure to motor oil, gasoline, water, and toluene.
General Information: LOCTITE® 272™ is not recommended for use in pure oxygen or with strong oxidizing materials. It is also not suitable for plastics prone to stress cracking. Compatibility with cleaning solutions should be verified.
Directions for Use: Surfaces should be cleaned before application. For inactive metals or slow cure speeds, activators can be used. Application methods vary for thru holes, blind holes, and sealing applications. Disassembly requires heating to 250°C.
Storage: Store in a dry location at 8°C to 21°C. Avoid contamination by not returning used product to the original container.
Disclaimer: The information provided is based on current knowledge and experience. Users should conduct their own trials to confirm product suitability. Henkel disclaims liability for product suitability and any consequential damages.
