LOCTITE 220 is designed for the locking and sealing of
threaded fasteners which require normal disassembly with
standard hand tools. The product cures when confined in the
absence of air between close fitting metal surfaces and
prevents loosening and leakage from shock and vibration.
Particularly suitable for applications such as adjustment of
set screws, small diameter or long engagement length
fasteners, where easy disassembly is required without
shearing the screw.

Mil-S-46163A

LOCTITE 220 is tested to the lot requirements of Military
Specification Mil-S-46163A. Note: This is a regional approval.
Please contact your local Technical Service Center for more
information and clarification.

ASTM D5363

Each lot of adhesive produced in North America is tested to
the general requirements defined in paragraphs 5.1.1 and
5.1.2 and to the Detail Requirements defined in section 5.2.
 

TYPICAL CURING PERFORMANCE

Cure Speed vs. Temperature
The rate of cure will depend on the temperature. Full cure is
attainable in 24 hours @ 22 °C, or 1 hour at 93 °C.

GENERAL INFORMATION

This product is not recommended for use in pure oxygen
and/or oxygen rich systems and should not be selected as
a sealant for chlorine or other strong oxidizing materials.
For safe handling information on this product, consult the
Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).
Where aqueous washing systems are used to clean the
surfaces before bonding, it is important to check for
compatibility of the washing solution with the adhesive. In
some cases these aqueous washes can affect the cure and
performance of the adhesive.
This product is not normally recommended for use on plastics
(particularly thermoplastic materials where stress cracking of
the plastic could result). Users are recommended to confirm
compatibility of the product with such substrates.

Directions for use:
For Pre-assembled Threaded Parts with Thru Holes

1. Prior to assembly, clean all threads (bolt and hole) with a
   LOCTITE®
   cleaning solvent and allow to dry
2. For Thru Holes, apply several drops of product at screw
   and body juncture
3. Avoid touching the bottle tip to the metal surface
4. This product is not recommended for pre-assembled
   threads in a blind hole.

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.
