Technical Data Sheet
Permatex Low Strength
Threadlocker PURPLE
AAM Revised 08/04

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
S.I.N.: 834-300
PERMATEX® Low Strength Threadlocker PURPLE is a low
strength anaerobic threadlocking material that cures between
engaged threads to form a unitized assembly that resists
virtually all leakage, shock and vibration. The product is a
single component, anaerobic liquid that cures when confined
in the absence of air between close fitting metal surfaces.
Ideal for all nut and bolt fasteners under 1/4 inch. Excellent
chemical resistance with a temperature resistance range of 175°C to 150°C (-65°F to 300°F). Easily removable with hand
tools for servicing requirements. OEM Specified. NSF White
Book registered.

Shake the product thoroughly before use.
To prevent the product from clogging in the nozzle, do not
allow the tip to touch metal surfaces during application.
For Thru Holes, apply several drops of product onto the
bolt at the nut engagement area.

6.

For Blind Holes, apply several drops down the female
threads into the bottom of the hole. As threads are
engaged, compressed air forces the product upwards into
the threads.

7.

Assemble and tighten as usual. When tightening to
established torque values, torque compensation is not
required.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
For assembly
1. Clean all threads (Bolt and Hole) with a cleaning solvent
such as Permatex Brake and Parts Cleaner and allow to
dry.
2. Determine if the threads to be bonded are Active or
Inactive Metals (Ref: Cure Speed vs. Substrate on the
second page). If material is an Inactive Metal, spray all
threads with Permatex Surface Prep and allow 30 seconds
to dry. Priming is not required if the material is an Active
Metal. If unknown, it is always best to use the primer.

For Cleanup
1. Residual liquid films and/or fillets outside the joint are
readily soluble in Permatex Brake and Parts Cleaner.
2. Cured product can be removed with a combination of
soaking in Permatex Gasket Remover and mechanical
abrasion such as a wire brush.
For Disassembly
1. Remove with standard hand tools.
2. In the rare instance where hand tools do not work, because
of excessive engagement length, apply localized heat to nut
or bolt to approximately 232°C (450°F). Disassemble while
hot.
