Permatex® 27005 Gel Squeeze™ High Strength Threadlocker RED Gel, 5 gra

PERMATEX® High Strength Threadlocker RED Gel is a high strength anaerobic threadlocking gel conveniently packaged in a new Gel Squeeze™ applicator. The product, like its liquid counterpart, is a single component, anaerobic gel that cures when confined in the absence of air between close fitting metal surfaces, ideal for all 3/8" to 1" (10 mm to 25 mm) and greater diameter threaded assemblies. Excellent chemical resistance and temperature resistance range of -65 degree Fahrenheit to +300 degree Fahrenheit (-54 degree Celsius to +149 degree Celsius). The assembly may require the use of heat to remove bolts. NSF Nonfood Components Program Listed (P1) (135870).

• Size: 5 gram
• OEM specified
• Gel formula provides "liquid-reliability" without drips, globs, mess or waste
• High strength threadlocker for heavy-duty applications 3/8" to 1" (10 mm to 25 mm)
• Especially well-suited for permanently locking studs and press fits
• Adds 3,000 PSI holding power on slip and press fit assemblies
• Replaces set screws and snap rings
• Locks against vibration loosening
• May require heat or special tools for removal
• Conforms to ASTM D5363 AN0221 (Mil-S-46163A, Type I, Grade K).

Suggested Applications:

Automotive

• Cylinder block and rocker arm studs, ring gear bolts, frame bolts, shock absorber bolts.

Heavy Duty

• Cap screws and mounting studs on differentials.

Benefits:

• Improved Reliability
• Eliminates vibration issues
• Seals against leakage
• Prevents rusting of threads
• Designed for use on vertical or hard-to-reach applications
• Cures without cracking or shrinking
• Adjusts or disassembles with hand tools.

Easy Application:

• No mess Gel Twist™ or Gel Squeeze™ applicator
• Gel-type product does not drip when applied
• Single component
• No curing outside of joint
• Thixotropic: resists dripping from threads during assembly
• No torque compensation required during assembly.

Typical Applications:

Prevents loosening and leakage of threaded fasteners. Particularly suitable for applications such as:

• Transmission shaft bolts
• Cylinder block
• Rocker arm studs
• Ring gear bolts
• Fan hub bolts
• Shock absorber bolts
• Frame brackets
• Frame bolts
• Hydraulic press studs
• Suspension fasteners
• Large studs
• Heavy equipment bolts
• Gear bolts
• Railroad assemblies
• Construction equipment.

Directions For Use:

For Assembly

• Clean all threads (bolt and hole) with a cleaning solvent such as Permatex® Brake and Parts Cleaner and allow to dry.
• Remove the translucent protective cap by pulling off at an angle.
• Remove cap and squeeze 1/8" to 1/4" (3 mm to 6 mm) of material beyond tip.
• Apply threadlocker to the engagement area of the male fitting (usually the leading 5 to 6 threads).
• Assemble parts and tighten to recommended torque.
• If unused gel contacts metal threads, do not retract threadlocker back into the tube. Wipe off with a clean towel.
• Replace protective cap.

For Cleanup

• Residual liquid films and/or fillets outside the joint are readily soluble in Permatex® Brake and Parts Cleaner.
• Cured product can be removed with a combination of soaking in Permatex® Gasket Remover and mechanical abrasion such as a wire brush.

For Disassembly

• Apply localized heat to nut or bolt to approximately 500 degree Fahrenheit (260 degree Celsius). Disassemble while hot.

For Reassembly

• Remove loose product from nut and bolt following cleanup procedure above.
• Apply Surface Prep™ activator to all threads, regardless of metal type and allow to dry.
• Apply threadlocker gel as above.
• Assemble and tighten as usual.
