PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
TAFTLOCK 22 is a low strength thixotropic anaerobic thread locking compound ideal for bonding and sealing threads, and retaining of cylindrical parts. TAFTLOCK 22 exhibits high resistance to heat, vibrations, water, gases, oils, hydrocarbons and many chemicals.
ADVANTAGES
- Ideal for thread locking small screws from loosening under vibration.
- Ideal for fasteners up to 6 mm diameters.
- Suitable for applications such as adjustment of set screws and small diameter fasteners where easy disassembly is required.

APPLICATION METHOD
Surfaces should be dry, clean, and free of any contamination. Thread locker should be applied to the bolt in sufficient quantity to fill threads. TAFTLOCK 22 performs the best in thin bond gaps. This thread locker is specifically formulated to give controlled friction and torque/tension ratio during assembly.
STORAGE
Anaerobic adhesives shall be ideally stored in a cool, dry place in unopened containers at room temperature between 8°C to 25°C. Please do not return any unused material to its original container.
Compliance and quality
Made under the ISO 9001 quality management system of Vitrochem Technology. RoHS declarations and Safety Data Sheets are available on request.
