Vibra-Tite VC-3 Threadmate is one of the most versatile threadlockers available on the market. An alternative to traditional liquid lockers which cure to form a hard bond, VC-3 is a proprietary blend of thermoplastic elastomer resins designed to remain flexible and absorb vibration. The combination of inert/non-reactive amorphous resins creates a tough, semi solid layer inside the threads of a mated joint. VC-3 damps the vibrational energy transferred between the threads of a mated fastener, preventing fastener loosening and loss of clamp load. These unique differences make VC-3 coated fasteners truly adjustable, removable, and reusable.
FEATURES:
- An acrylic polymer that damps and absorbs vibration
- Will not harden like anaerobic threadlockers
- Works with metal, wood, plastic and more
- Fasteners are easily adjusted, removed and reused
- Works on fasteners of any shape or size, from tiny eyeglass screws to large construction bolts
- Works with internal or external threads
- Meets low out-gassing specifications (NASA SP-R-0022A, in accordance with ASTM E 595)
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE:
Be sure material is well mixed before applying. Apply Vibra-Tite VC-3, with standard coating length 1.5 times the diameter of the part and to achieve 30% to 50% thread fill. While Vibra-Tite VC-3 dries to the touch within minutes, the part should be given at least 30 minutes to dry before assembly.
