Technical data sheet for Loctite 270 anaerobic threadlocking material, detailing properties, curing performance, and usage instructions.
About this manual
Loctite 270 is a single‑component anaerobic threadlocking material that cures when confined between close‑fitting metal surfaces, providing high strength for heavy‑duty applications such as studs in motor housings and pump fasteners. The sheet describes typical applications, uncured material properties, and curing performance under various conditions.
Key specifications include specific gravity, viscosity, flash point, and mechanical strength values for both uncured and cured states. Environmental resistance, storage recommendations, and handling precautions are also provided, along with general usage directions and safety notes.
