LOCTITE® 290 is a green, medium-high strength thread locker designed for the locking and sealing of threaded fasteners. Because of its low viscosity, the product wicks between engaged threads by caplillary action and eliminates the need for disassembly prior to application. The anaerobic adhesive cures when confined in the absence of air between close-fitting metal surfaces and prevents loosening and leakage due to shock and vibration. Because of its flowable properties, the product is also suitable for sealing porosities in welds, castings and powdered metal parts.
- Prevents fastener loosening on vibrating assemblies, e.g., pumps, gear boxes, or presses
- Ideal for locking preassembled fasteners, e.g. instrumentation fasteners, electrical connectors and set screws
- Seals porosities in welds, castings and powdered metal parts
- Requires heat for disassembly
- Meets Mil-S-46163A Type III Grade R

Features and Benefits
- Prevents loosening and leakage from shock & vibration: It wicks into the grooves between the mating threads and cures into a hard thermoset plastic that strengthens the assembly against shocks and seals the threads.
- Ideal for preventive maintenance as this is a wicking grade product which eliminates the need for disassembling prior to application.
- Ideal for locking preassembled fasteners, e.g. instrumentation fasteners, electrical connectors and set screws.
- Low viscosity product: The low viscosity of this product makes it ideal for occupying the tiniest of gaps between the threads so that proper clamp load in maintained.
- Fluorescent: It has a characteristic green colour that fluoresces under UV light. This helps during service to detect as to whether or not the product had been applied.
