LOCTITE®516™ is a high viscosity, non-toxic, thixotropic,preapplied, water-based thread sealant for automaticdispensing applications. When dried, it becomes a resilient,tight clinging, non-curing sealant for tapered or straight threads. LOCTITE®516™ provides positive sealing and resistence tovibrational loosening. The thread-filling ability and prevailingtorque characteristics of this product are effective for use onsealing applications, particularly where re-adjustments arerequired, e.g. rear axle filler plugs, bearing adjuster nuts,pressure gauges and sensors, brake fittings, pipe fittings, andcompressor pipe plugs. Other devices that this product isdesigned for includes; cable connectors, screws for plasticassemblies, adjustment screws, overhead fire sprinklers,shower heads, and door closure hardware. This product is typically used in applications with an operating range of -54 °C to +150 °C.TYPICAL PROPERTIES OF UNCURED MATERIALSpecific Gravity @ 25 °C 1.1 to 1.4LMSFlash Point - See MSDSViscosity, Brookfield - RVT, 25 °C, mPa·s (cP):Spindle 7, speed 20 rpm 20,000 to 40,000LMSSolids/Non-Volatile Content, % 35.5 to 47.3LMSOn Part Life, years 4TYPICAL PERFORMANCE OF CURED MATERIALAdhesive PropertiesInstant seal 12.7 mm NPT fittings to 830 kPaTorque StrengthSeating Torque, :3/8 x 16 nuts and bolts N·m 40.7(lb.in.)
