Vibra-TITE 122 Oil-Tolerant Removable Threadlocker — 50 ml Blue, Medium-Strength Anaerobic, Vibration-Resistant

This threadlocker is designed for industrial and maintenance use where vibration, shock or marginal surface cleanliness would otherwise loosen fasteners. Its thixotropic, medium-viscosity formula cures anaerobically (without air) between metal threads and develops reliable breakaway and prevailing torque values. Vibra-TITE 122 is oil-tolerant, so it performs acceptably on slightly oily or plated parts where other adhesives fail, and it replaces mechanical locking methods like lock washers and plastic inserts.

How quickly does Vibra-TITE 122 set and reach full strength?

Initial fixture occurs in minutes on active metal at room temperature, with full cure developing over 24 hours. Warmth and close-fitting threads speed curing; cooler temperatures and air exposure slow it.

• Fixture speed without primer: about 5–10 minutes at 77°F (25°C).
• Typical full cure: 24 hours at 68°F (20°C).
• Optimal storage: 25 ±2°C for extended shelf life.

Which fastener sizes and gaps can this product handle?

Vibra-TITE 122 is suited for small to medium fasteners commonly used in machinery and hydraulic systems. It fills fine thread clearances but is not intended for large gaps.

• Recommended fastener diameter range: 1/4" to 3/4" (6–20 mm).
• Maximum gap fill: 0.015 inches.
• Suitable for bolts, studs, countersunk screws, and similar threaded parts.

What mechanical performance and resistance can I expect?

The cured polymer gives controlled medium strength sufficient to resist vibration and moderate solvents while still permitting removal with hand tools. It improves against rust-lock and prevents leakage in jointed assemblies.

• Typical breakaway torque on 3/8" phos-oil sample: 100–130 lbs·in.
• Typical prevailing torque on 3/8" phos-oil sample: 40–60 lbs·in.
• Good resistance to water and nonpolar solvents; performs under temperature and solvent exposure better than many mechanical locking devices.

How should I apply and store the threadlocker for best results?

Apply directly from the 50 ml squeeze bottle onto cleaned threads, then assemble. For optimal longevity, control storage temperature and follow handling recommendations to maintain shelf life and performance.

• Clean parts: remove heavy oils, dirt, and grease for best cure and strength.
• Application: hand-apply from bottle to mating threads before assembly.
• Storage: refrigerate at 0–35°C if needed; ideal storage 25 ±2°C extends shelf life to 18 months from manufacture.

Who is this for? Technicians, maintenance crews, and equipment assemblers who need a dependable, removable locking solution for machinery, gearboxes, hydraulic fittings, conveyor components, and construction equipment will benefit from Vibra-TITE 122. It is especially useful where vibration is present or where plated or slightly oily parts make primerless adhesion attractive. Choose this product when you require medium-strength locking that seals against leakage and eases later disassembly with standard tools.
