Using Loctite in deep sea environment with 316 fasteners?
Using Loctite in deep sea environment with 316 fasteners?
(OP)
Hi all,
I am having some trouble with 316SS 10-24 FH screws backing out of their 316SS housing during system deployment. Looking to implement some sort of thread locking, but unsure of Loctite's performance in an open marine environment, and also if it arises any corrosion concerns (he housing are zinced). I know there are many types offered, I'm spending the morning looking through Loctite's site, all feedback of appropriate #'d product lines is welcome.
Thanks,
--Adam

At any rate, once cured most grades of Loctite relatively impervious to sea water. There are differences amongst the grades, so check the TDS or talk to one of their application advisers, then check the TDS.
Use one of the primers on stainless.
