To stop loosening, leakage, and corrosion, thread-locking fluid, also known as threadlocker, is a single-component glue that is applied to the threads of fasteners like screws and bolts.
The electrochemical activity of a metal substrate is used in the majority of thread-locking formulae, which are methacrylate-based and rely on the fluid polymerizing as a result. Because it is thixotropic, thread-locking fluid can flow smoothly over time and still withstand shocks and vibrations.
It may be irremovable or permanent; in the latter case, it may be taken off using heat, for instance. Brands are frequently color-coded to show their strength and whether heat is needed to remove them or not.
Methacrylate-based thread-locking solutions often cure anaerobically. Thixotropic fluids, like thread-locking fluid, display a time-dependent reduction in viscosity under shear force to enable squeezing into place but prevent too rapid flow on their own.
Typically, thread-locking fluid is sold in little bottles with sizes ranging from 5 millilitres (approximately one teaspoon) to 250 millilitres (8.5 US fl oz). Similar to teflon tape, Threadlocker is also offered for purchase in stick and tape form.
Global automotive threadlocker market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
Henkel has added a ground-breaking solution to its extensive line of automotive pre-applied threadlocker coatings that combines the flowability of a flowable product with the environmental benefits of a water-based substance.
The medium to high strength pre-applied threadlocker Loctite DRI 2250-W is the first water-based flowable pre-applied threadlocker ever made. It was developed to meet automotive specification needs.
"Traditional materials fail to retain room temperature (RT) breakaway strength and can often lose around 50% - and in some cases even more - of their strength at 150oC," says Loctite DRI 2250-W. It also has good chemical resistance. DRI 2250-W, in comparison, can typically maintain RT strength up to 200oC while maintaining RT strength over 150oC.
Low friction is a feature of Loctite DRI 2250-W. The material retains a coefficient of friction between 0.10 and 0.16 when tested on various plating surfaces. Additionally, it exhibits enhanced lubricity and excellent performance on all plating types, including the more recent zinc-flake coating.
Until assembly, the threadlocker maintains an inert covering that is dry to the touch. The coating's microcapsules are broken down during assembly, releasing an active component that starts the anaerobic curing process.
Loctite DRI 2250-W serves as both a threadlocker and a thread sealer once it has dried. During manual or automatic assembly, it does not require the use of liquid sealants, adhesives, or any other mechanical locking or sealing device, and it can be flow coated for greater output speeds.
