LOCTITE® 6482 is formulated to bond shafts, bushings, bearings and gears into housings and onto shafts, even in challenging environments. It cures anaerobically within tight metal fits, delivering high shear strength of at least 18 N/mm² after 24 hours. The acrylic ester chemistry provides service reliability up to 175 °C and its low sulphur and halogen formulation makes it suitable for sensitive metals such as titanium—ideal for nuclear, aerospace and power generation sectors where component integrity and material compatibility are critical.

Primary Chemistry:
Urethane methacrylate acrylic ester
Prevents fretting and loosening in high-temperature rotating assemblies
Enables retention of precision shafts and gears without mechanical fasteners
Protects titanium and plated surfaces from aggressive additives
Provides rapid quality inspection using UV fluorescence
Reduces assembly complexity thanks to one-part anaerobic cure
Use LOCTITE® 6482 for press fit, slip fit or shrink fit assemblies of bearings, sprockets, rotors and gears on shafts
Clean surfaces thoroughly and apply activator for inactive substrates like stainless or titanium
Apply coating to male and female parts, assemble with rotation to distribute and allow 24 hours for full cure
For disassembly, heat locally to ~250 °C
Fluorescence allows quick inspection of full coverage under UV light
