Loctite 262 Threadlocker Red 250 ml Bottle — High-Strength, Vibration-Resistant Thread Sealant

Loctite 262 is a high-strength red anaerobic threadlocker in a 250 ml bottle designed to lock and seal metal fasteners where permanent bonding is required.

Engineered for metal-to-metal assemblies, this medium-viscosity liquid cures without air to form a tough, vibration-resistant adhesive. It reaches handling strength in about 24 hours and delivers robust shear and tensile performance across a wide temperature range, making it suitable for demanding mechanical applications where resistance to shock and loosening is essential.

How quickly does Loctite 262 cure and set up for use?

Cure occurs anaerobically—meaning the product hardens in the absence of air—so cure speed depends on the gap between metal parts and the substrate. Expect functional cure behavior over roughly 24 hours under normal conditions, though confined, metal-to-metal joints cure faster than wide gaps.

• Typical cure time to handling strength: ~24 hours
• Faster cure in close-fitting metal threads
• Room temperature curing; warmer environments accelerate set

What mechanical and temperature performance can I expect?

Loctite 262 provides high shear strength and solid tensile resistance for permanent fastener locking. It performs over an extensive service temperature span, so it withstands both low-temperature exposure and elevated operating heat common to engines and heavy machinery.

• Shear strength: 1450 psi for resisting lateral loads
• Tensile strength: 189 psi for axial load resistance
• Operating temperature range: -65°F to +300°F (-54°C to +149°C)

Which materials and applications suit this threadlocker?

This formulation is intended primarily for metal assemblies where permanent or semi-permanent fastening is required. It bonds best on steel, stainless steel and other metals, making it a reliable choice for automotive, industrial and heavy equipment fasteners.

• Optimized for metal fasteners and components
• Common uses: engines, gearboxes, pumps, heavy machinery
• Not formulated for plastics or dissimilar substrates without testing

How is the product supplied and what handling should I follow?

The product comes in a 250 ml liquid bottle intended for workshop or production use; packaging is sold per bottle, with ten bottles per case available. Store the bottle in a dry area and follow standard safety procedures for adhesives—keep away from open flames and follow manufacturer handling guidance.

• Package size: 250 ml bottle; sale unit: BOTTLE
• Viscosity class: medium (1800/5000 cPs), easy to dispense
• Storage: keep in a dry place; hazardous shipping: not regulated

Who is this for: Loctite 262 is targeted at technicians, maintenance crews, and production engineers who need a dependable, high-strength threadlocker for metal fasteners. Choose this product when you require a permanent, vibration-resistant bond across a broad temperature range—especially in automotive, industrial, and heavy-duty equipment contexts where long-term fastener security matters.
