Description
xLock, seal, and protect threaded connections
Loctite Threadlocker Blue 242 is a medium-strength threadlocker designed to lock and seal threaded fasteners, helping to prevent loosening caused by vibration. It is well-suited for small to medium fasteners ranging from 6 to 20 mm, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of home and workshop projects.
The formula is a blue, viscous compound that forms a durable bond while remaining removable with hand tools. It offers protection against leaks and can help reduce rust and corrosion on threads over time. A single 6 ml bottle can serve multiple fasteners, especially when purchased in a 12-pack for ongoing maintenance.
