Description
The GH1200 Blue 242 Thread Locker 50ML offers a reliable, removable solution for locking metal fasteners in place. Designed for automotive, machinery, and home repair applications, this medium-strength anaerobic adhesive forms a vibration-resistant seal that prevents loosening due to thermal changes or mechanical stress. If your projects require strength but also serviceability, Blue 242 delivers the ideal balance.
Medium Strength Bond
This GH1200 threadlocker offers an ideal balance of strength and flexibility. It firmly secures bolts and screws in place under typical operational loads, ensuring that assemblies remain tight during vibration and thermal expansion. Yet, when servicing or repairs are needed, components can be easily disassembled using standard hand tools. This makes it perfect for applications where future access is necessary, such as valve covers, gearbox housings, and control panels.
Clean, Controlled Application
Forget messy glue jobs or wasteful spills. GH1200 Blue 242 is equipped with a precision nozzle that delivers a targeted, consistent stream of adhesive. Whether you’re working in tight engine compartments or delicate assembly lines, this applicator allows for clean and efficient use without over-applying. It helps maintain a tidy workspace while maximizing the lifespan of your threadlocker by preventing product waste.
Corrosion & Vibration Protection
Fasteners in engines, machinery, or outdoor equipment are vulnerable to both vibration and environmental factors. GH1200 Blue 242 creates a tight seal around threaded areas, blocking out moisture, dirt, and corrosive agents. It also absorbs vibration and prevents micro-movement between fastener threads, preserving torque settings and extending the reliability of your assemblies in high-stress environments.
Temperature Resilience
Whether you’re working in cold garages or under-the-hood heat, GH1200 Blue 242 holds firm. Its formulation is engineered to perform in a wide temperature range of 65°F to 300°F without degrading. This makes it suitable for various climates and machinery that go through repeated heating and cooling cycles, offering long-term performance across temperature extremes.
Versatile Compatibility
From heavy-duty steel bolts to aluminum-threaded housings, GH1200 Blue 242 works across a broad spectrum of metal materials. Its compatibility with fasteners from 1/4″ to 3/4″ makes it a universal choice for automotive repairs, industrial maintenance, and DIY projects. Whether you’re sealing engine bolts or assembling household hardware, this adhesive adapts to your needs.
