PRODUCT DESCRIPTION S.I.N.: 834-300
Permatex
®
High Temperature Threadlocker RED is a high
temperature, high strength anaerobic threadlocking material
that cures between engaged threads to form a unitized
assembly that resists virtually all leakage, shock and vibration.
The product is a single component, anaerobic liquid
wthatcures when confined in the absence of air between close
fitting metal surfaces. Ideal for all 3/8 inch to 1 inch diameter
nut and bolt assemblies. Excellent chemical resistance with a
temperature resistance range of -175°C to 232°C (-65°F to
450°F). OEM Specified.
PRODUCT BENEFITS
Improved Reliability
• Eliminates vibration issues
• Seals against leakage
• Prevents rusting of threads
• Cures without cracking or shrinking
• Thixotropic: resists dripping from threads during assembly
• Performs at elevated temperatures
Easy Application
• No mixing
• No curing outside of joint
• No on-torque adjustments needed
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Prevents loosening and leakage of threaded fasteners.
Particularly suitable for applications such as:
• Camshaft sprocket bolts
• Crankshaft attaching bolts
• Idler Bearings
• Press fit filler tubes
• Transmission input & output shaft threads
• Ring gear bolts
• Axle support studs
• Studs in wheel hub
• Flywheel bolts
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
For assembly
1. Clean all threads (Bolt and Hole) with a cleaning solvent
such as Permatex

Brake and Parts Cleaner and allow to
dry.
2. Determine if the threads to be bonded are Active or
Inactive Metals (Ref: Cure Speed vs. Substrate on the
second page). If material is an Inactive Metal, spray all
threads with Permatex Surface Prep (24163) and allow 30
seconds to dry. Priming is not required if the material is
an Active Metal. If unknown, its always best to use the
primer.
3. Shake the product thoroughly before use.
4. To prevent the product from clogging in the nozzle, do not
allow the tip to touch metal surfaces during application.
5. For Thru Holes, apply several drops of product onto the
bolt at the nut engagement area.
For Blind Holes, apply several drops down the female
threads into the bottom of the hole. As threads are
engaged, compressed air forces the product upwards into
the threads.
6. Assemble and tighten as usual. When tightening to
established torque values, torque compensation is not
required.
For Cleanup
1. Residual liquid films and/or fillets outside the joint are
readily soluble in Permatex

Brake and Parts Cleaner.
2. Cured product can be removed with a combination of
soaking in Permatex

Gasket Remover and mechanical
abrasion such as a wire brush.
For Disassembly
1. Apply localized heat to nut or bolt to approximately 260°C
(500°F). Disassemble while hot.
