Product Description

LINQBOND T243 is medium strength, general purpose, removable threadlocker with improved oil resistance for fasteners bettween 1/4" and 3/4" (6 to 20 mm) diameters. 

LINQBOND T243 is a medium viscosity anaerobic adhesive with medium to high strength threadlocking adhesives for ferrous and non-ferrous threaded fasteners. Cured performance is consistent with other industrial fastener finishes such as black oxide and zinc plated steel. LINQBOND T243 has good solvent resistance against most industrial solvents. It can be used with most industrial lubricants, oils, and cleaners with minimal pre-cleaning. It works on most metal surfaces including oily steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and zinc-plated metals. It is also formulated to provide a consistent torque-tension relationship across the recommended torque range for grade 5 fasteners. 

LINQBOND T243 is stronger and cures faster than LINQBOND T242.

Specific Gravity
Specific Gravity
Specific gravity (SG) is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance; equivalently, it is the ratio of the mass of a substance to the mass of a reference substance for the same given volume.

For liquids, the reference substance is almost always water (1), while for gases, it is air (1.18) at room temperature. Specific gravity is unitless.

Physical Properties
Viscosity
Viscosity
Viscosity is a measurement of a fluid’s resistance to flow.

Viscosity is commonly measured in centiPoise (cP). One cP is defined as
the viscosity of water and all other viscosities are derived from this base. MPa is another common unit with a 1:1 conversion to cP.

A product like honey would have a much higher viscosity -around 10,000 cPs-
compared to water. As a result, honey would flow much slower out of a tipped glass than
water would.

The viscosity of a material can be decreased with an increase in temperature in
order to better suit an application

Curing Conditions
Curing Schedule
Curing Schedule
Curing schedule is the time and temperature required for a mixed material to fully cure. While this applies to materials that cure with heat, there are also other materials that can be cured with UV.

Even though some materials can cure on ambient temperatures, others will require elevated temperature conditions to properly cure.

There are various curing schedules depending on the material type and application. For heat curing, the most common ones are Snap cure, Low temperature cure, Step cure and Staged cure.

Recommended cure type, schedule, time and temperature can always be found on the Technical data sheets.
Full Cure Time 4-24 hours

Directions for Use

  1. Apply adhesive to the male thread. The area does not need to be fully covered with the adhesive to achieve good locking torque.
  2. Assemble the male and female threads together. Tighten to the desired torque within 5 minutes of assembly.

Curing Information

  • Fixture Time: 15-20 mins on zinc. 5-8 minutes on steel and black oxide finishes
  • Full strength: 24 hours
