Vibra-Tite - 213 VC-3 Threadmate

Vibra-Tite VC-3 Threadmate is one of the most versatile thread lockers available. An alternative to traditional liquid lockers, which cure to form a complex bond, VC-3 is a proprietary blend of thermoplastic elastomer resins designed to remain flexible and absorb vibration. The combination of inert/non-reactive amorphous resins creates a tough, semi-solid layer inside the threads of a mated joint. VC-3 damps the vibrational energy transferred between the threads of a mated fastener, preventing fastener loosening and loss of clamp load. These unique differences make VC-3 coated fasteners adjustable, removable, and reusable.

• An acrylic polymer that damps and absorbs vibration
• Will not harden like anaerobic thread lockers
• Works with metal, wood, plastic (*see table), and more
• Fasteners are easily adjusted, removed and reused
• Works on fasteners of any shape or size, from tiny eyeglass screws to large construction bolts
• Works with internal or external threads
• Meets low out-gassing specifications (NASA SP-R-0022A, per ASTM E 595)
• Compatible with: ECTFE, EPDM, FEP, Nylon 6/6, PE, PEEK, PET, PFA, PP, PPS, PTFE, TFE, UHMW plastics.

Shake well before each use. Apply VC-3, a length of 1 to 1 ½ times the fastener diameter, filling threads 30-50%. Although material will be dry to touch within minutes, allow VC-3 to dry for at least 30 minutes (the longer, the better), depending on part size. Fasteners are then ready for assembly or to be stored for later use.

• From tiny eyeglass screws to huge construction bolts, Vibra-Tite VC-3 is ideal for fasteners of any size.
• Mounting ski / snowboard bindings, plates and inserts.
• RC models (Drones, Airplanes, Helicopters).
• Bolts on motorcycles.
