LOCTITE 2701
June-2004
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION LOCTITE 2701 provides the following product characteristics: Technology Acrylic Chemical Type Dimethacrylate ester Appearance (uncured) Green liquidLMS Fluorescence Positive under UV lightLMS Components One component - requires no mixing Viscosity Low Cure Anaerobic Secondary Cure Activator Application Threadlocking Strength High LOCTITE 2701 is designed for the permanent locking and sealing of threaded fasteners. The product cures when confined in the absence of air between close fitting metal surfaces and prevents loosening and leakage from shock and vibration. This product is particularly suited for use on inactive substrates and/or where maximum resistance to hot oil is required. TYPICAL PROPERTIES OF UNCURED MATERIAL

TDS LOCTITE 2701, June-2004 GENERAL INFORMATION This product is not recommended for use in pure oxygen and/or oxygen rich systems and should not be selected as a sealant for chlorine or other strong oxidizing materials. For safe handling information on this product, consult the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). Where aqueous washing systems are used to clean the surfaces before bonding, it is important to check for compatibility of the washing solution with the adhesive. In some cases these aqueous washes can affect the cure and performance of the adhesive. This product is not normally recommended for use on plastics (particularly thermoplastic materials where stress cracking of the plastic could result). Users are recommended to confirm compatibility of the product with such substrates. Directions for use For Assembly 1. For best results, clean all surfaces (external and internal) with a Loctite cleaning solvent and allow to dry. 2. If the material is an inactive metal or the cure speed is to slow, spray all threads with Activator 7471 or 7649 and allow to dry. 3. To prevent the product from clogging in the nozzle, do not allow the tip to touch metal surfaces during application. 4. For Thru Holes, apply several drops of the product onto the bolt at the nut engagement area. 5. For Blind Holes, apply several drops of the product down the internal threads to the bottom of the hole. 6. For Sealing Applications, apply a 360 bead of product to the leading threads of the male fitting, leaving the first thread free. Force the material into the threads to thouroughly fill the voids. For bigger threads and voids, adjust product amount accordingly and apply a 360 bead of product on the female threads also. 7. Assemble and tighten as required. For Disassembly 1. Apply localized heat to nut or bolt to approximately 250 C. Disassemble while hot. For Cleanup 1. Cured product can be removed with a combination of soaking in a Loctite solvent and mechanical abrasion such as a wire brush. Loctite Material SpecificationLMS LMS dated February-27, 1998. Test reports for each batch are available for the indicated properties. LMS test reports include selected QC test parameters considered appropriate to specifications for customer use. Additionally, comprehensive controls are in place to assure product quality and consistency. Special customer specification requirements may be coordinated through Henkel Loctite Quality. Storage Store product in the unopened container in a dry location. Storage information may be indicated on the product container labeling. Optimal Storage: 8 C to 21 C. Storage below 8 C or greater than 28 C can adversely affect product properties. Material removed from containers may be contaminated during use. Do not return product to the original container.
