Vibra-TITE Threadlocker 122 Oil-Tolerant Removable Anaerobic Threadlocker — 50 ml Blue, Medium Strength, Vibration Resistant

This single-component, thixotropic adhesive cures without air between closely fitted metal threads to prevent loosening from vibration, shock and leakage. Formulated to perform on plated or slightly oily surfaces, it replaces mechanical locking devices such as lock washers and plastic inserts in many maintenance and assembly applications. The product is supplied in a 50 ml bottle and is blue to indicate removable strength.

How quickly will Vibra-TITE 122 set on oily or plated parts?

Vibra-TITE 122 cures rapidly even on inactive or oil-contaminated metal finishes. Typical fixture times at room temperature are within minutes, and full cure develops over hours, depending on part size and environmental conditions.

• Fixture speed without primer: approximately 5–10 minutes at 77°F (25°C)
• Full cure: up to 24 hours at 68°F (20°C)
• Shelf life varies with storage temperature; keep cool for maximum longevity

What sizes and joint gaps can this threadlocker accommodate?

The formulation is suitable for a broad range of bolt diameters and fills small thread clearances effectively. It seals and secures fasteners from 1/4" to 3/4" (6–20 mm) while accommodating narrow thread gaps.

• Recommended fastener range: 1/4"–3/4" (6–20 mm)
• Maximum gap fill: 0.015 inches (approx. 0.38 mm)
• Effective for common assembly sizes found in gearboxes, conveyors and hydraulic fittings

What strength and resistance properties should I expect?

Vibra-TITE 122 offers controlled medium strength that secures components under vibration but still permits removal with conventional tools. The cured adhesive resists water and many nonpolar solvents and shows good temperature tolerance within typical industrial ranges.

• Typical breakaway torque for 3/8" phos-oil: 100–130 lbs·in
• Typical prevailing torque for 3/8" phos-oil: 40–60 lbs·in
• Specific gravity: 1.08; provides reliable thread coverage and sealing

How should I store and apply this product for best results?

Store Vibra-TITE 122 under controlled temperatures to preserve shelf life and performance. Application is straightforward from the bottle, but preparing parts by removing heavy oils and debris improves cure consistency.

• Optimal storage: 25 ± 2°C; refrigerated storage recommended between 0°C and 35°C
• Shelf life: 12 months at 20°C (68°F); up to 18 months when stored at 25 ± 2°C from manufacture
• Application: hand-apply to threads; ensure surfaces are clean and dry for best bond

Who is this for? Vibra-TITE 122 is aimed at maintenance technicians, mechanical assemblers and engineers who need a removable threadlocker that works on plated or slightly oily components. It fits applications such as gearbox and drive-shaft bolts, bearing cap screws, conveyor rollers and hydraulic hardware where vibration resistance, sealing and eventual disassembly are required. Choose this product when you want a reliable medium-strength anaerobic adhesive that replaces mechanical locking devices while resisting water and many solvents.
