CAP. 12 - NON-PERMANENT JUNCTIONS
Here below some instructions on the use of Loctite® 577 on the thread of some non-permanent
j
unctions in the pneumatic circuit of the CLIMA stations.
The product polymerizes when air is absent and when in contact with metal; its aim is preventing
slackening caused by impacts and vibrations. Yet, after application and fixing onto the
junction/thread, you must tighten and then wait several hours, in relation to the type of coupling
between metals, before the product can get its maximum performance in terms of
hold/resistance.
For one’s own and other people’s safety, the operator/user of the Loctite® 577 product must
consider that it must be employed in well-ventilated premises and that protecting eyes and hands
with suitable PPE (personal protective equipment) is required. For compulsory safety provisions to
be followed when using the product, the user shall refer to the safety data sheet of Loctite® 577
manufacturer.
For further details on the product characteristics/performance and application instructions, please
refer to the technical data sheet of Loctite® 577 manufacturer.
