Retaining Compound
September 2012
Product Description
VibraTITE 550 is anaerobic retaining compound
designed to be used on freeze, core, and cup plug
applications. 550 is thixotropic and lends itself well
to being dispensed on vertical surfaces.
Typical Applications
Vibra-TITE 550 will seal and retain non-thread
plugs. 550 is used to seal core plugs in upper and
lower manifolds and engine blocks. Typical
applications include core plugs, cup plugs installed
into engine blocks.
