EMS FORCE® TL-43 is general purpose, medium-high strength thixotropic anaerobic threadlocker. The product cures when confined in the absence of air between closefitting metal surfaces. Formulated to lock all metric and imperial nuts and bolts, preventing vibration loosening and leakage through the threads. TL-43 is slightly oil tolerant, so it will bond some ‘as received’ parts, but best results are obtained with clean substrates. The thixotropic nature of the product prevents run off, dripping and migration after assembly. TL-43 is typically used on mounting bolts, housing screws, etc. TL-43 prevents corrosion of assembled parts.
