Find out how much stronger Loctite red threadlocker is than Loctite blue threadlocker on fastened nuts. I tested and compared the strength of Loctite's permanent 271 red threadlocker and removable 242 blue threadlocker. Learn what I found out.

There is a slight flaw in your test -- if you are pulling vertical down on your scale, the actual lever arm length depends on the cosine of the angle. It would only be 1 ft when the wrench is horizontal. It gets shorter when the wrench is at an angle. If you were using the scale on the torque wrench (which is probably not super accurate but should be repeatable) angle won't matter.

@skie6282 Жыл бұрын

Your right, but the measurable difference is probably only around 1 ftlb, so to show a load difference between three sets of nuts while loosening them the same way, itll still show a difference. The numbers might be a little bit off but the fact of red vs blue vs no loctite having different stengths is shown.

Everyone likes to think the red loctite is "permanent-forever-welded-torches to get it off" but in reality it only requires a bit more torque to break it free. Rust will always cause more problems and realistically loctite prevents rust so it probably makes most bolts easier to remove over time in the North.

There’s loads of different loctite , that’s why they represented by a number. It has to do with application also . I’ve had specs to follow that you use 3 dots( when you squeeze the bottle a droplet falls ) up a thread to a line up ( you squeeze a line and it remains a line , not bladdered everywhere) the thread. One application we use a line on thread on a highly flex frame and a bolt under high stress . We torqued up to 30lb and breaking it is 90Lb-120lb . If we fit to less it’s comes free or seizes in place due to moisture , apply to much then the only way to crack it is using loads of heat ( not what you want on a highly flexible frame ) . The right application you can usually find in manufacturers assembly/service guides

Such is the reason Red Loctite Threadlocker is listed as "Permanent" by the manufacturer and less apt to vibrations, usable for gasoline and petroleum presence areas. Cure time is 5-15 minutes dependent on the material used; Steel, Brass, or Stainless Steel. The manufacture advertises a 3/8"-16 grade 5 bolt break-away at 6.25 to 18.75 ft. lbs. (in. lb. conversion) The use of "Primer" accelerates setting times; see manufacturer's specifications. In many cases, Loctite specifies the use of the red color, (dependent on product number for purpose of use) for larger gap areas. Please be aware that simply the color does not mean the application. In the automotive machine shop business, I use many Loctite products, always with the trust of proper function when using the proper "primer" before application. Thanks for your video posting.

@georgecurtis6463 Жыл бұрын

In most uses it's just to prevent backing off of nuts or bolts, etc. The blue is for the ability to hold but still be able to back it off without damage. The red is to hold in more adverse conditions and be much harder to loosen and back off. I have had situations were red has been used and did not back off this easily. And yes, at times it did require me to heat it up. To say that this is not required is foolishness. I never use red unless I plan on basically never needing the nut or bolt to ever be loosened. Otherwise it's always blue. And all that is with or without lockwashers and such. Just another safety step. Specially on fasteners that could cause serious damage or injury.

When ready to remove the studs, the only way to loosen them was with liberal use of a torch first and far more torque than referenced here. Note that I used spray brake cleaner to clean the bolts and holes first. As the tests in this video show, not cleaning the bolts can be nearly equivalent to not using Locktite.

The first nut didn't want to budge when using a ratchet so i grabbed a 36" breaker bar and i was able to get it loose. Second nut was tough with the breaker and i ended up turning breaking the bolt right off. For the rest of them, i gave them a light torching and that made the rest of them simple.

It hasn't come loose again in 40 years. I use blue on fasteners in my large model airplanes. Just don't get it on plastic. It will embrittle plastic like servo output shafts and cause them to break.
