SOPRIFIX SO21B

What is SOPRIFIX SO21B? A blue thread locker 

SO21B is a pre-applied adhesive product for locking and sealing applications on threads. The SO21B product is applied in our factory, and remains inert until final assembly. Once assembled in the mating part, the pre- applied film cures to lock and seal the assembly.

Properties of assembled fasteners

Screw-in torque (Cfv) Breakaway torque (Cdec) Prevailing off-torque (Cfd) Temperature range Cure time at 23°C Coefficient of friction
0.55 N.m 30 N.m 22 N.m -54°C / +150°C 72 hours (100%) 0,14 Zinc organic
