Threadlockers do exactly what their name says. It's made from plastic that cures and hardens over the joints, screws, and other mechanical attachments of your product, allowing it to provide exceptional support and rust protection.
Threadlockers were greatly efficient at their job that manufacturers looked into numerous use cases and introduced new threadlockers that solved specific problems, which might confuse those unfamiliar with it. To help you make your decision, here are four easy steps to choose the right threadlocker for your project.
Strength and Thread Diameter
Stronger threadlockers, such as red and blue, can handle the highest torque levels that allow them to carry up to 225lbs of push and pulling pressure. On the other hand, lighter threadlockers can handle half or a fourth of this strength.
Bigger thread diameters can work much more efficiently with red and blue threadlockers because of their strength, while smaller thread diameters work well with purple and green threadlockers.
Chemicals Involved
Threadlockers have high heat resistances that strengthen and prevent them from losing their grasp. Some threadlockers have heat resistances plus an immense resistance to oil and fuels (which make them excellent for vehicle improvement applications).
Heat Levels
High heat levels in engines can melt or loosen the grip of purple and green threadlockers. In contrast, both red and blue threadlockers have an excellent grip even in the highest heat levels in most engines and other similar heated environment applications.
The Correct Threadlocker Type
Red and blue threadlockers are the strongest adhesives in existence. Once you apply these two to joints and any surface, they will cure and remain in their final cured structure for decades or beyond. On the other hand, purple and green threadlockers are removable using specially manufactured products for threadlocker adhesive removal.
