Vibra-Tite® 131
Product Description
Vibra-Tite 131 is a high strength, anaerobic thread
locking compound. Vibra-Tite 131 is design for
permanent locking of threaded fasteners. The
product performs on aluminum, steel, plated,
stainless steel, and special alloy parts. Vibra-Tite
131 exhibits good temperature and solvent resistant.
Typical Applications
Vibra-Tite 131 will lock and seal large fasteners (up
to 1”). Vibra-Tite 131 is used in applications where
shock and vibration may cause the fastener to loosen.

Instructions for Use
Ensure parts are clean, dry and free from oil and
grease.
Compatible Primers
Primers such as Vibra-Tite Excel 611 (Primer N) or
Excel 612 (Primer T) can be used to speed the fixture
time of the adhesive. Fixture times can improve by as
much as 50%. The use of primers can result in lower
strength and performance should be tested after full
cure.

General Information
Storage
Product should be stored in a cool and dry location at
temperatures between 14°F (-10°C) to 86°F (30°C).
Shelf life is 2 years from date of manufacture when
stored at 72±8°F (22±4°C).
Note
Vibra-Tite 131 is color coded red and once cured,
seals and vibration proofs the assembly, giving
controlled break loose and prevailing torque. When
force is applied, the parts break loose (first
movement) but it will take several turns before the
cured film will stop resisting the turning action, thus
ensuring accidental component disassembly.
Not recommended for use with most plastics as stress
cracking can occur. Excellent environmental and
chemical resistance. Product conforms to MIL-S46163A , ASTM D-5363, NSF.
Health & Safety in use
IRRITANT: Contains Methacrylate Esters which
may irritate eyes, respiratory organs and skin. In case
of contact with the skin, wash immediately with
plenty of water.
