Precote 80 Thread Lock Specifications.
Precote 80 is a sophisticated thread-locking adhesive, uniquely designed with microencapsulated acrylates. These microcapsules are a critical component; upon tightening the bolt, they break, releasing the adhesive. This process allows the adhesive to cure only in the presence of metal and absence of oxygen, ensuring a secure and targeted bond.
Designed to operate effectively in extreme temperatures, ranging from -50°C to 170°C, Precote 80 offers reliability in diverse environments. It is a single-use product, maintaining its properties for up to four years at room temperature. This non-reusable nature underscores its commitment to providing a long-lasting, vibration-resistant lock.
Compliance with numerous industry standards such as DIN 267-27, Ford WX 200 WSS M11 P45-A1, and MIL-S-46163, among others, testifies to its versatility and suitability across a broad range of applications. To understand more about thread lock in general, our article "What Is Thread Lock?" provides an in depth look at how these compounds can impact performance in preventing thread loosening.
