Loctite® 640 is a high-strength, low-viscosity anaerobic retaining compound designed for bonding cylindrical fitting parts. Its slow cure time makes it ideal for applications requiring longer positioning times, such as large diameter components or assemblies involving active metals like brass.
Loctite® 640 is formulated to provide robust bonding for cylindrical assemblies, including keys, splines, bearings, and bushings. It cures in the absence of air between close-fitting metal surfaces, forming a durable bond that resists shock and vibration. The product’s extended cure time allows for precise alignment during assembly, making it suitable for components that require careful positioning. With a fixture time of approximately 2 hours and a service temperature range of -55°C to +175°C, it delivers reliable performance in demanding applications.
