How to Choose the Right LOCTITE® Pre-Applied Coating for Your Application
Choosing the wrong Pre-Applied Coating can ruin a product. Here’s how to choose the right one.
Start With Your Application
For permanent assemblies where disassembly is not expected.
| Application | Recommended Products |
|---|---|
| Engine fasteners/transmissions | DRI 2250-W |
| Sensors/pipe fittings | DRI 503™, 516™, 513HV™ |
| High-heat assembly | DRI 201 ECO™, DRI 2045™ |
| Lightweight/removable | DRI 203 ECO™ |
Which LOCTITE® is best for my environment? From extreme heat to corrosive fluids, the right coating varies by industry and part spec.
Consider These Factors
- Temperature exposure.
- Need for future disassembly.
- Material type (stainless, plated, etc.).
- Vibration/sealing requirements.
Should I coat all threads or partial? Our engineers can advise based on joint design, preload requirements, and torque specs.
Pro Tip:
The right coating ensures better torque retention, less rework, and longer-lasting parts.
