Description Popular Uses, Popular Applications Need Datasheets?

LOCTITE® 222 is a purple, low-strength anaerobic threadlocker for small metal fasteners up to 6.35 mm (1/4 in.) in diameter. It helps prevent loosening and leakage caused by shock and vibration while allowing routine disassembly with standard hand tools.

Best for

  • Adjustment screws, countersunk screws, and set screws
  • Small-diameter or long-engagement fasteners
  • Low-strength metals such as aluminum and brass
  • Vibrating assemblies including pumps, gearboxes, and presses
  • Chassis, HVAC, fastener, and powertrain applications

Key features

  • Low-strength, removable formula
  • One-component; no mixing required
  • Anaerobic cure on close-fitting metal surfaces
  • Thixotropic liquid helps reduce migration after application
  • Fluorescent for inspection
  • Works with active and passive metals
  • NSF P1 registration 123002 (regional approval for Europe)

Directions

  1. Clean external and internal threads with a suitable LOCTITE® cleaning solvent and allow them to dry.
  2. Shake thoroughly. For inactive metals or slow cure conditions, use LOCTITE® Activator SF 7471 or SF 7649 and allow it to dry.
  3. Apply several drops at the nut engagement area for through holes, or into the bottom of blind holes. For sealing, apply a full bead around the male threads while leaving the first thread free.
  4. Assemble and tighten as required.
  5. For removal, use standard hand tools. If excessive engagement prevents removal, heat the nut or bolt locally to approximately 250°C and disassemble while hot.

Storage

Keep the unopened container dry. Optimal storage temperature is 8°C to 21°C (46°F to 70°F); temperatures below 8°C or above 28°C may affect product properties.
