LOCTITE® 592 is an opaque, off-white, thick acrylic dimethacrylate ester lubricating thread sealant paste which prevents galling on pipe threads and fittings. It provides immediate low pressure sealing and allows the readjustment of fittings shortly after assembly. The joint seals against pipe burst pressure after 72 hours. Suits applications up to +399 °F (+204 °C). Unsuitable for plastic piping.

• Prevents galling on pipe threads and fittings
• Provides immediate low pressure sealing and allows the readjustment of fittings shortly after assembly
• High viscosity
• Anaerobic cure

Directions for use:

For Assembly

1.  For best results, clean all surfaces (external and internal)
   with a LOCTITE®
   cleaning solvent and allow to dry.
2. If the material is an inactive metal or the cure speed is too
   slow, spray with LOCTITE®Primer NF™ and allow to dry.
3. Apply a 360° bead of product to the leading threads of the
   male fitting, leaving the first thread free. Force the
   material into the threads to thoroughly fill the voids. For
   bigger threads and voids, adjust product amount
   accordingly and apply a 360° bead of product on the female threads also.
4. Using compliant practices, assemble and wrench tighten
   fittings in accordance with manufacturers
   recommendations.
5. Properly tightened fittings will seal instantly to moderate
   pressures. For maximum pressure resistance and solvent
   resistance allow the product to cure a minimum of 24
   hours.

For Disassembly

1. Remove with standard hand tools.
2. Where hand tools do not work because of excessive
   engagement length or large diameters (over 1"), apply
   localized heat to approximately 250 °C. Disassemble
   while hot.

For Cleanup

1. Cured product can be removed with a combination of
   soaking in a Loctite solvent and mechanical abrasion
   such as a wire brush.
