Reliable sealing for hydraulic fittings
- Proven Loctite 542 formula: You achieve an immediate, secure seal on fine-threaded metal pipes within hydraulic and pneumatic systems.
- Resistant to vibrations: You prevent threaded metal connections from loosening under heavy operational shocks and continuous vibration.
- Excellent chemical resistance: You protect joints against degradation from hydraulic fluids, oils, fuels, and industrial coolants.
With Loctite 542 hydraulic thread sealant, you reliably prevent leaks and pressure drops across hydraulic and pneumatic systems. This liquid sealant is specifically formulated for fine-threaded metal pipes and fittings. Curing anaerobically in the absence of air between metal surfaces, it locks connections securely against continuous vibrations, operational shocks, and pressure spikes. Because the formula contains no particulate fillers, it will not foul or clog sensitive valves and filtration systems. It delivers excellent resistance to hydraulic fluids, oils, fuels, and temperatures ranging from -55 °C to +150 °C. Thanks to its medium strength, joints can easily be disassembled with standard hand tools whenever maintenance is required.
Product description:
- LOCTITE 542 - Thread Sealant - Henkel
- LOCTITE 542 is designed for the locking and sealing of metal pipes and fittings as well as other cylindrical metal assemblies.
- The product cures when confined in the absence of air between close-fitting metal surfaces and prevents loosening and leakage due to shock and vibration.
- The thixotropic nature of LOCTITE 542 reduces the migration of liquid product after application to the part.
