LOCTITE® 573 seals close-fitting joints between rigid metal faces and flanges. The product cures when confined in the absence of air between close-fitting metal surfaces. Typically used as a form-in-place gasket on rigid flanged connections, e.g. transmission and motor casings, etc. It is the ideal product for part assembly jobs extending over several hours. The nature of LOCTITE 573 reduces the migration of liquid product after application to the part.

• Typically used as a form-in-place gasket on rigid flanged connections
• Ideal for sealing large, rigid metal flanges or flanges where assembly may take up to several hours

Directions for use:

1. For best performance bond surfaces should be clean and
   free from grease.
2. The product is designed for close fitting flanged parts with
   gaps up to 0.25 mm.
3. Apply manually as a continuous bead or by screen
   printing to one surface of the flanges.
4. Low pressures (<0.5 MPa) may be used when testing to
   confirm a complete seal immediately after assembly and
   before curing.
5. Flanges should be tightened as soon as possible after
   assembly to avoid shimming.
