Vibra-Tite® 530
Retaining Compound
September 2012
Product Description
VIBRA-TITE 530 is a low viscosity, general
purpose, anaerobic retaining compound used for
press-fit and tight-clearance, and slip-fit metal
applications. The product performs on aluminum,
steel, plated, stainless steel, and special alloy parts.
VIBRA-TITE 530 exhibits good temperature and
solvent resistant. VIBRA-TITE 530 can be used
where lubricity is needed to press fit parts or to create
an air-tight seal on cylindrical assemblies. This
product cures rapidly on all metal surfaces.
Typical Applications
●Locks keys & splines
●Locks bearings in place preventing spin-out
●Bonds rotor to shaft in low horsepower motors
●Augments press fits
●Locks bushings & sleeves in housings & on shafts
●Restores the fit to worn assemblies or out-oftolerance parts

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.
