LOCTITE® 221™ – Threadlocker – Threaded Fastener Locking & Sealing

  • Item Name: LOCTITE® 221™
  • Manufacturer: Henkel
  • Technologies: Acrylic, Dimethacrylate ester
  • Color: Purple
  • Cure Type: Anaerobic, Secondary Cure with Activator
  • Package Size: Contact to Techniq VN for details.
  • Shelf Life: Contact to Techniq VN for details.

1. Product Overview

LOCTITE® 221™ is a low-strength, anaerobic threadlocker designed for locking and sealing threaded fasteners that require disassembly with standard hand tools. It cures in the absence of air between close-fitting metal surfaces, preventing loosening and leakage due to shock or vibration. It is particularly suited for applications like set screws, small diameter, or long engagement length fasteners.

  • Technology: Acrylic
  • Chemical Type: Dimethacrylate ester
  • Appearance: Purple liquid
  • Fluorescence: Positive under UV light
  • Viscosity: Low
  • Cure Method: Anaerobic (with optional activator)
  • Strength: Low

2. Applications

  • Locking and sealing threaded fasteners
  • Suitable for set screws and small-diameter fasteners
  • Ideal where disassembly is required without damaging screws
