General Practice
No smoking in the presence of primer, activator or accelerator, as these products are
highly flammable. Never mix primer or activator and adhesive directly as liquids. For
additional safe handling procedures refer to the product material safety data sheets
(MSDS) and technical data sheets (TDS) available from www.Loctite.com.

All parts must be free from oil and or grease. Do not use paint thinners for cleaning. Use solvent or
degreaser such as methylated spirits, trichlorethylene or acetone.

All painted bores must be fully cured before the application of Loctite.

Fixing and full cure times for all Loctite will be increased at reduced temperatures.

To prevent the product from clogging in the nozzle, do not allow the tip to touch metal surfaces during
application.

In general, nuts that secure anodes use Loctite 243 and a spring washer. Anodes in internal water
passages use nyloc nuts, external anodes use plain nuts.
Primers, Activators and Accelerators
Primers are used when the surfaces to be threadlocked are not active enough to cause curing, or when the
cure is required to be accelerated.

Primers, activators or accelerators are not required on 'active surfaces', such as bronze, brass and mild
steel.

For 'inactive surfaces' (including stainless steel or aluminium) primers, activators or accelerators are
optional for threadlocking and are required for retaining.

Primers, activators or accelerators are not to be applied to any painted surface.

Allow sufficient time for primers, activators or accelerators, where applied, to dry.
