Technical Data Sheet
Vibra-Tite® 566
Retaining Compound
September 2012
Product Description
Vibra-Tite 566 is a high 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 566
exhibits good temperature and solvent resistant.
Vibra-Tite566 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-of-
tolerance parts
Properties of Uncured Material
Chemical Type: Anaerobic
Appearance: Grey Paste
Toxicity: Low
Solids: 100%
Specific Gravity: 1.04
Performance of Cured Material
Typical Values
Full Cure Time: 24 hrs @ 72oF
Temperature Range: -60oF to 350oF (-51oC to 200 oC)
Shear Strength
Cold rolled steel: >2400 psi
Static shear strength was measured on cylindrical
parts with a 0.002” diametrical clearance.
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.
Presentation
Bottles…...2ml, 10ml, 50ml, 250ml and liter
