Revolutionising thread adhesives 14 October 2024

Tectorius® has introduced a groundbreaking solution that meets the needs of assembly and manufacturing – Tectorius's industrial grade, pre-applied threadlocker, Tec-Bond® 240-IN, is now available in a handheld bottle for small-scale, short-run, applications.

Tec-Bond® 240-IN is a water-based formula, a shift from traditional solvent-based adhesives, offering an environmentally friendly and effective solution. With its resistance to humidity and extended storage capabilities the solution is designed to integrate seamlessly into progressive, global manufacturing processes, Tec-Bond® 240-IN combines the reliability of epoxy chemistry with cutting edge, solvent-free technology. For precision assemblies, our Tec-Bond 240-PR is suitable when performance on titanium, stainless steel, special alloys, or plastics is needed.

As a water-based adhesive, Tec-Bond® 240-IN eliminates the need for solvents, making it a more sustainable choice. It meets REACH and RoHS compliance standards, reflecting Tectorius’ commitment to responsible manufacturing practices. The microencapsulated, room temperature curing formula ensures that the adhesive remains dormant until the fastener is installed. The shearing action of installation breaks the microcapsules, triggering the adhesive to bond securely. Tec-Bond® 240-IN is suitable for all types of threaded fasteners and performs well in temperatures ranging from -40°C to 175°C.

Tec-Bond® 240-IN is now available in a handy 16-ounce bottle, sold individually and in bulk. This new format is designed for ease of use and convenience, allowing users to apply the adhesive directly.
