Loxeal 55-14 Thread Sealant Anaerobic Adhesive 50ml

For best performance, pair with these Loxeal products: Loxeal Cleaner 10 Degreaser: clean and degrease the threads first for maximum bond strength. Loxeal Activator 11: speeds curing on stainless steel, plated and other passive metals, in cold conditions, or across larger gaps. Loxeal 55-14 Thread Sealant Anaerobic Adhesive 50ml Loxeal 55-14 is a medium strength anaerobic thread sealant for hydraulic and pneumatic threaded connectors up to 1-1/2″. It replaces PTFE tape and hemp for sealing against gases, water, LPG, hydrocarbons, oils and many other chemicals. A medium thixotropic consistency stops the sealant migrating out of the thread before or during cure, and the cured joint is highly resistant to heat, corrosion, shocks and vibration across a service range of -55°C to +150°C. Why choose Loxeal 55-14? General purpose sealer for hydraulic and pneumatic fittings up to 1-1/2″ Replaces PTFE tape and hemp – no shredding, no re-taping, no clogged valves Medium strength – joints can still be dismantled with normal tools Thixotropic formula stays on the thread instead of dripping or migrating Seals against gases, water, LPG, oils, hydrocarbons and many chemicals Resists shock, vibration and corrosion from -55°C to +150°C Typical applications Sealing threaded connectors on hydraulic and pneumatic systems Pipework carrying water, compressed air, LPG, oils and industrial fluids General plumbing and maintenance sealing of metal pipe threads How to use Clean and degrease both threads with Loxeal Cleaner 10 and allow to dry. Apply a bead of sealant around the male thread so the gap is completely filled. Assemble and tighten the connection. Allow to cure before pressurising. On passive surfaces or in cold conditions, pre-treat with Loxeal Activator 11 to speed the cure. Cure times at +25°C Handling strength: 10-20 minutes Functional strength: 1-3 hours Full cure: 5-10 hours (maximum properties develop over 24-36 hours) Specifications Chemistry Anaerobic methacrylate Colour Red (fluorescent under blue light) Viscosity (+25°C) 2,500-12,000 mPa·s, thixotropic Specific gravity (+25°C) 1.05 Max thread size / gap fill M56 / 2″ / 0.30 mm Shear strength (ISO 10123) 8-12 N/mm2 Breakaway torque (ISO 10964) 12-18 N·m Prevailing torque (ISO 10964) 20-30 N·m Service temperature -55°C to +150°C Shelf life 1 year in original unopened packaging at up to +25°C Important notes Formulated for metal threads only – contact a technical service before use on other materials. The liquid sealant can damage coatings, some plastics and elastomers, and may cause stress cracking in some thermoplastics. To disassemble, use normal tools; if needed, heat parts to +150°C/+250°C, remove cured residue mechanically and clean with acetone. Store in a cool, dry place at no more than +25°C and do not return used product to the container. Safety Consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) before use. For professional and industrial use.
