Thread locking compound, outgassing
Thread locking compound, outgassing
(OP)
Hi everyone,
on the topic of fasteners, I'm looking for something like a Precote compound that has a verifiable or manufacturer's claimed outgassing performance AND crucially can be applied to a thread as small as M2 x 0.4.
Anyone with any such experience out there I wonder?
Thanks all round

It is better to have enough ideas for some of them to be wrong, than to be always right by having no ideas at all.
RE: Thread locking compound, outgassing
For small threads, omni has versions of the their thread adhesives that are suited for small threads (< M6), e.g. Precote 85-8.
RE: Thread locking compound, outgassing
Aerospace fasteners, externally threaded, with self-locking feature typically DO NOT rely on a pre-cured compound applied to the threads: they use a patch-locking element embedded in the threads.
MIL-DTL-18240 FASTENER ELEMENT, SELF-LOCKING, THREADED FASTENER, 250F MAXIMUM
MIL-F-8961 FASTENER ELEMENT. SELF-LOCKING, EXTERNALLY THREADED, 450F AND 1,200F
