Low strength, removable purple threadlocker for small fasteners in aviation and industrial maintenance—secure under vibration, yet serviceable with hand tools.
Low-strength, removable: ideal for ≤ 1/4" screws and set screws
Purple for inspection: easy visual confirmation of application
Fast fixture: handling strength typically within 15–20 minutes
Full cure in 24 hours: robust locking once fully cured
Vibration & fluid resistant: performs in harsh shop environments
Available sizes: 10 mL, 50 mL, 250 mL, and 1 L bottles
Detailed Description Vibra-Tite 111 is a low-strength, anaerobic threadlocker designed to prevent loosening from vibration and thermal cycling while allowing routine disassembly. Its purple color aids quality checks during assembly, and the removable formulation is perfect for small fasteners, set screws, and components that require periodic adjustment. Commonly used in aircraft maintenance, avionics mounting, control linkage hardware, and shop fixtures, the adhesive cures in the absence of air between close-fitting metal surfaces to create a reliable, uniform seal. Typical fixture time is 15–20 minutes at room temperature with full cure in 24 hours, delivering dependable retention without risking fastener damage during service. Vibra-Tite 111 offers strong performance across common metals and plated fasteners, helping technicians maintain torque values, reduce rework, and keep assemblies flight-ready.
