Vibra-Tite 541 Technical Data
Technical Data Sheet
Vibra-Tite® 541
Product Description
Vibra-TITE 541 High Strength Retaining Compound
is a single part, medium viscosity, high strength
anaerobic resin used for bonding rigid assemblies of
all types. This material can be used effectively to
increase the strength of most mechanical assemblies.
Typical Applications
Vibra-TITE 541 can be used in a broad variety of
applications such as:
• Locks keys and splines
• Eliminates backlash in worn assemblies
• Locks bearings in place, preventing spin out
• Bonds rotor to shaft in low horsepower
motors
• Locks bushings and sleeves in housings and
on shafts
• Restores the fit to worn assemblies or outof-tolerance parts
This high viscosity product is not recommended for
extremely close or interference fits. For large gaps,
use of Vibra-TITE primer to ensure a fast, full cure is
advisable.
Instructions for Use
Ensure parts are clean, dry and free from oil and
grease.
Procedure for Application
Product is normally hand applied from the bottle onto
parts.
Compatible Primers
Vibra-TITE 612 (Primer T) can be used. The use of
primers can cause loss of strength and performance
should be tested.
