1. Product Overview

LOCTITE® 572 is a medium-strength, anaerobic thread sealant designed for metal pipes and fittings. It cures in the absence of air when confined between metal surfaces, preventing loosening and leakage caused by shock and vibration. Its thixotropic nature minimizes migration after application.

Key Features:

  • Technology: Acrylic (Dimethacrylate ester)
  • Appearance: White to off-white paste
  • Viscosity: High, thixotropic
  • Cure Type: Anaerobic, with an optional activator
  • Application: Thread sealing
  • Strength: Medium

2. Applications

  • Sealing and locking metal pipes and fittings
  • Preventing leaks and loosening due to vibration and shock
  • Ideal for hydraulic and pneumatic fittings
  • Suitable for industrial machinery, automotive, and plumbing systems
