Rapid cure Vibration resistant Lubricates threads for easier assembly Provides corrosion protection WRAS listed for contact with wholesome (potable) water Description Permabond® A1042 is a rapid curing adhesive designed to lock and seal metal parts that subsequently may need to be dismantled for maintenance. The high vibration resistance makes Permabond A1042 particularly suited to replacing lock washers, split pins and other mechanical locking devices. The well proven chemical resistance of Permabond A1042 will reduce the effects of corrosion and make it suitable for sealing small hydraulic and pneumatic fittings. Surface Preparation Though the anaerobic adhesives will tolerate a slight degree of surface contamination, best results are obtained on clean, dry and grease free surfaces. The use of a suitable solvent-based cleaner (such as acetone or isopropanol) is recommended. In general, roughened surfaces (~25μm) give higher bond strengths than polished or ground surfaces. To reduce the curing time, especially on inactive surfaces (such as zinc, aluminium and stainless steel), the use of Permabond A905 or ASC10 can be considered. Directions for Use 1) Prevent the tip from touching metal surfaces during application. 2) When working with through holes, dispense a bead of material across the contact length of the threads. 3) When working with blind holes, apply several drops down the threads to the bottom of the hole. 4) Assemble and torque the parts as necessary. 5) Replace lid to bottle to avoid contamination of remaining liquid adhesive
