Retaining Compound Anaerobic Adhesives

RT09 • RT20G • RT38 • RT41 • RT48

Handling

Information

Directions for Use:

recommended for use on most plastics due to potential cracking of plastic parts.

Also, they are not recommended for use in piping systems that contain pure

oxygen or an oxygen-rich environment, chlorine, or strong oxidizing substances.

For Assembly:

1. Ensure parts are clean, dry and free from oil, grease and dirt. For best

Activator. (Activator can also be used on inactive surfaces or to accelerate

the cure on active surfaces.)

Activator may reduce bond strength depending on substrates and gap.

Testing is recommended to evaluate the effect.

2. If not sure of surface type, always use activator. Refer to Material surface

Activity and Cure Speed section for more information.

3. Avoid touching the metal surfaces with the bottle tip since the metal ions

may react with the adhesive upon contact and eventually may clog the

bottle tip

4. Apply a bead of adhesive onto the shaft and inside the collar where the

contact area will finally be assembled. For larger parts use more adhesive.

Assemble parts and rotate to spread adhesive evenly around contact area

Handling

Information

For Assembly:

5. Allow assemblies to set for sufficient time so that handling strength or full

cure will occur before further processing or testing.

For Disassembly:

disassemble while parts are still hot. Use extreme caution when working

with heat sources (e.g. heat gun, flame, etc.)
