Loctite 272 Threadlocker for Automotive: High-Strength, High-Temperature, Anaerobic, Heavy-Duty Applications
Category: loctite threadlocker
LOCTITE Threadlocker 272 is a high-strength, red threadlocker formulated for heavy-duty applications that can withstand temperatures up to 450°F. This exclusive formulation is designed for newer engines and high-performance applications where extreme temperature resistance is required. It prevents bolts up to 1-1/2" (38mm) from loosening due to shock, severe vibration, and heat stress.
LOCTITE 272 is a red, medium viscosity, methacrylate-based threadlocking adhesive with high strength. It has a fixture time of 10 minutes on steel, 5 minutes on brass, and 15 minutes on stainless steel, making it ideal for applications where any migration of the adhesive must be prevented. It can tolerate slight contaminations of industrial oils and is suitable for all metal fasteners. With a breakaway torque of 23 Nm on M10 bolts, LOCTITE 272 is perfect for temperatures between -65°F and 450°F (-54°C and 232°C).
LOCTITE automotive aftermarket products are not just OEM-specified, but also designed by auto manufacturers and lab-tested. Engines of nearly every professional race car are assembled and maintained with LOCTITE brand adhesives, sealants, gasket makers, and coatings. Whether gasoline or diesel, from bolts and gaskets to cooling lines and core plugs, Henkel products are used to seal, secure, and repair vehicle components.
LOCTITE is trusted by professionals wherever engines are being built or repaired. Our LOCTITE automotive aftermarket products are OEM-specified and designed by auto manufacturers, ensuring reliable adhesion on all metals, including passive substrates (e.g., stainless steel, aluminum, plated surfaces) with improved oil tolerance.
The removable nature of LOCTITE 272 with heat and hand tools makes it ideal for securing parts that must withstand heavy shock, vibration, or extreme chemical or environmental conditions. It can be used for a wide range of multi-purpose applications, such as camshaft sprocket bolts, crankshaft bolts, idler bearings, press-fit filler tubes, transmission input and output shaft threads, ring gear, and shock bolts. It is suitable for as-received fasteners up to 1-1/2" (38 mm) in size.
LOCTITE 272 sets in just 1 hour and is fully cured in 24 hours, providing a convenient curing process. With its high-temperature/high-strength formulation, exclusive design for newer engines and high-performance applications, and reliable adhesion, LOCTITE 272 is the trusted choice for professionals who demand the best in their automotive repairs and maintenance.
