LOCTITE® 6482 is a green, low-viscosity retaining compound designed for cylindrical parts. It is optimised for high-temperature performance, low halogen and sulphur content, and offers strong adhesion with UV fluorescence for inspection.
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.
