TYPICAL CURING PERFORMANCE
Cure speed vs. substrate
The rate of cure will depend on the material used. Permatex
®
Hi-Temp/Hi Strength Threadlocker RED will react faster and
stronger with Active Metals. However, Inactive Metals will
require the use of a primer (Surface Prep) to obtain maximum
strength and cure speed at room temperature.

Soft Steel Iron Bright Platings
Copper Anodized Surfaces

Nickel Stainless Steel
Aluminum Alloy Cadmium
Cure speed vs. temperature
The rate of cure will depend on the ambient temperature. Full
cure is attainable in 24 hours at room temperature, 22°C
(72°F), or 1 hour at 93°C (200°F).
Cure speed vs. primer
To shorten cure time or if an inactive surface is present,
applying a primer (Surface Prep) to the surface will improve
cure speed. A 3/8-16 steel nut and bolt assembly will fixture in
5 minutes using a primer, while fixturing will occur in 20
minutes without a primer. Full cure in 24 hours for both
procedures.

Where Breakaway Torque is the force required to initiate the fastener
movement and Prevail Torque is the force required to disassemble the
fastener once Breakaway Torque has occurred.
TYPICAL ENVIRONMENTAL RESISTANCE
Temperature Resistance
Product temperature range from -175°C to 232°C (-65°F to
450°F). The Breakaway and Prevailing Torque values
decrease as temperature increases, however the assembly
remains effective against vibration and leakage.
Chemical / Solvent Resistance
The product retains effective properties in contact with
automotive fluids, such as motor oil, gasoline, brake fluids,
transmission fluids, alcohol and antifreeze solutions.
