Adhesive CX80 WT-22 anaerobic low-strength threadlocker for adjustment screws

CX80 WT-22 anaerobic low-strength threadlocker for adjustment screws is formulated to secure small threaded parts while allowing future disassembly. The solvent-free adhesive cures between metal surfaces in the absence of air to prevent vibration-induced loosening of set screws and adjustment screws used in precision assemblies. Its low-strength formulation provides controlled retention for tiny fasteners without risking damage to threads during maintenance or calibration.

Advantages

This low-strength threadlocker offers reliable prevention of loosening on small-diameter and fine-pitch screws while remaining removable with standard hand tools. The anaerobic chemistry ensures rapid cure where metal-to-metal contact excludes air, forming a secure bond that resists vibration and shock. The product is suitable for delicate assemblies due to its low fixture force and minimal risk of over-torque or seizure, supporting repeat adjustments and servicing.

Suitable for

• Adjustment and set screws in precision machinery
• Small fasteners in instruments and measurement devices
• Electronic assemblies with fine threaded components
• Calibration points and serviceable mechanical fittings

Key specifications

• Type: anaerobic, low-strength threadlocking adhesive
• Intended use: small and fine-thread screws, adjustment screws
• Curing mechanism: polymerises in absence of air between mating metal surfaces
• Removal: designed to allow disassembly with standard hand tools
• Formulation: solvent-free anaerobic chemistry suitable for precision applications

How to use

Ensure mating threads are clean, dry and free from oil, grease or loose debris prior to application. Apply a small drop of the threadlocker directly onto the male threads or into the tapped hole, then assemble the parts and tighten to the required torque. Allow the adhesive to cure in the absence of air at the joint; full handling strength typically develops as per anaerobic curing characteristics. For removal, use appropriate hand tools and standard disassembly procedures.

Usage recommendations

Use sparingly on tiny fasteners to avoid excess squeeze-out. For best performance, avoid application on painted or non-metallic surfaces where anaerobic cure may not occur. When servicing, back off and re-tighten using normal torque values; if threadlocker remains, clean contact surfaces before reapplication.
