PRECOTE® is a microencapsulated acrylate-based adhesive developed by Omnitechnik (Germany) that ensures reliable thread locking and sealing, activating only during assembly. It is ideal for screws, studs, nuts, and other fasteners, combining locking, sealing, and long-term durability.
CHARACTERISTICS
- Activation during assembly: the rupture of the microcapsules initiates locking and curing.
- Versatility: compatible with metals, plastics, and wood, as well as with different surface treatments.
- Locking and sealing: prevents loosening due to vibration and leakage of liquids, gases, or oils.
- High resistance: withstands extreme temperatures, pressure, and vibration.
- In-line adhesive replacement: eliminates the need to apply additional adhesives during assembly, optimizing industrial processes and reducing production time.
