Vibra-Tite® VC-6
Threadlocker
July 2016
Product Description
Vibra-Tite VC-6 is a powerful locking and sealing
coating for threaded fasteners that works on the
principle of “friction through viscosity.” It utilizes a
blend of acrylic resins to prevent fasteners from
loosening — even under extreme vibration. Designed
for use on external and internal threads of virtually
any material or finish, Vibra-Tite VC-6 dries to the
touch within seconds of application and coated parts
are ready for assembly in just a few minutes. Precleaning of parts is not required except for wiping off
any visible oil, grease, or dirt for optimal
performance.
Typical Applications
From tiny eyeglass screws to huge construction bolts,
Vibra-Tite VC-6 is ideal for use on fasteners of any
size. Vibra-Tite VC-6 adheres to ferrous and nonferrous metals, most platings, wood, and plastic
screws.
Instructions for Use
Be sure material is well mixed before applying.
Apply Vibra-Tite VC-6, with standard coating length
1.5 times the diameter of the part and to achieve 30%
to 50% thread fill. While Vibra-Tite VC-6 dries to
the touch within seconds, the part should be given at
least 30 minutes to dry before assembly.
