What is Loctite 290 used for?

It is designed for locking and sealing pre-assembled metal threaded fasteners, as well as sealing porosities in welds and castings.

Do you need to disassemble fasteners before application?

No, its low viscosity allows the liquid to wick between engaged threads by capillary action without prior disassembly.

Which materials are compatible with this threadlocker?

Loctite 290 is engineered strictly for metal surfaces, including steel, stainless steel, and brass.

How do you disassemble parts secured with Loctite 290?

Due to its medium-to-high strength, disassembly requires standard hand tools after applying localized heat.

How does Loctite 290 cure?

It cures anaerobically in the absence of air between close-fitting metal surfaces.

Reliable locking with Loctite 290

Practical benefits

Fast post assembly penetration: Low viscosity allows the formula to wick between pre-assembled threads via capillary action without prior disassembly.
Strong vibration loosening resistance: You prevent threaded fasteners from backing out under heavy shock loads and constant operational vibrations.
Sealing weld and casting porosities: You seal microscopic pores and voids in welds or powdered metal components to prevent fluid leakage.

In a nutshell

The right choise for

With Loctite 290 threadlocker, you can reliably lock and seal metal threaded fasteners even after they are fully assembled. Thanks to its low viscosity, the liquid formula wicks directly between engaged threads via capillary action, eliminating the need for prior disassembly. This effectively prevents bolts, studs, and screws from backing out under heavy operational vibrations and mechanical shock. Additionally, it seals microscopic porosities in welds and metal castings against fluid leakage and moisture ingress. Supplied in a practical 250 ml bottle, it provides a dependable and efficient solution for demanding assembly and maintenance tasks.
