Loctite 638 High Strength Adhesive is a single-component, fast, room temperature curing adhesive that provides high shear strength. Typically used to retain cylindrical components, such as bearings on shafts or in housings, Loctite 638 is also ideal for thread sealing and/or threadlocking applications that operate in high pressures and other extreme environments.
The anaerobic adhesive cures when confined in the absence of air between close-fitting metal surfaces and prevents loosening and leakage caused by shock and vibration. It cures on most metals without an activator or primer. The product offers high-temperature performance and good oil tolerance and tolerates minor surface contaminants.
