BSI IC-LOC Blue Medium Strength Thread Locker
SKU: ECA-BSI-171
BSI IC-LOC™ Blue Medium Strength Thread Locker
Keep threaded components secure without making them permanent with BSI IC-LOC™ Blue Thread Locker. This medium-strength thread-locking compound helps prevent screws, nuts, and other threaded fasteners from loosening due to normal use, movement, and vibration, making it an excellent choice for pen making, woodworking jigs, shop equipment, and other small mechanical assemblies.
For pen turners, Blue is especially useful because it provides a dependable hold while still allowing components to be disassembled later with standard hand tools when needed.
Features & Highlights
- Medium-strength removable thread locker
- Helps prevent threaded fasteners from loosening due to vibration
- Ideal for pen making and small threaded components
- Fasteners can still be removed using standard hand tools
- Helps seal threads and protect against rust
- Medium viscosity helps provide controlled application
- Sets in approximately 10 minutes
- Reaches full cure within 24 hours
- Anaerobic formula cures when confined between assembled metal threads
- Temperature range after cure: -60°F to 300°F (-51°C to 149°C)
Why Blue Thread Locker for Pen Making?
Many pen kits and other turning projects contain small threaded components that can gradually work loose during use. IC-LOC™ Blue adds extra security to these threaded connections without creating a permanent bond.
This makes it useful anywhere you want a component to stay securely threaded during normal use but still want the option of taking the assembly apart later.
How to Use
- Make sure threaded surfaces are clean and dry.
- Shake well before use.
- Apply a small amount of IC-LOC™ Blue directly to the threads.
- Assemble and tighten the components normally.
- Allow approximately 10 minutes to set.
- Allow up to 24 hours for a full cure.
Important
IC-LOC™ Blue is an anaerobic thread locker, meaning it cures when air is excluded after you assemble the threaded metal components. It is intended for non-plastic threaded components.
Specifications
