Loctite 574 - Flange Sealant - 50ml

Loctite 574 – Detailed Description

Loctite 574 is a medium-strength anaerobic flange sealant designed primarily for sealing rigid metal flanges and close-fitting machined surfaces. It cures in the absence of air when confined between metal surfaces, forming a reliable seal that helps prevent leakage of fluids and gases.

It is particularly suitable for applications where traditional solid gaskets may not provide the desired sealing performance. Loctite 574 fills minor surface imperfections and helps create a uniform seal between mating metal surfaces.

Key Features

• Anaerobic flange sealant

• Designed for rigid metal-to-metal flanges

• Helps prevent leakage through mating surfaces

• Fills minor surface irregularities and machining marks

• Suitable for precision-machined flange assemblies

• Provides a flexible, reliable sealing layer

• Helps reduce the need for conventional paper or solid gaskets

• Suitable for industrial maintenance and assembly applications

Typical Applications

Loctite 574 is commonly used for sealing:

• Machined metal flanges

• Gearbox housings

• Engine and transmission components

• Pump and compressor housings

• Hydraulic and mechanical assemblies

• Flanges and mating surfaces

• Industrial machinery and equipment

How Loctite 574 Works

Loctite 574 remains liquid while exposed to air but cures when confined between closely fitting metal surfaces where oxygen is excluded. Once cured, it forms a solid sealing layer that helps prevent fluids or gases from passing through the joint.

For best results, mating surfaces should be clean, dry and free from oil, grease and other contaminants. The sealant should be applied as a continuous, even layer to one of the mating surfaces before assembly.

Advantages of Loctite 574

Loctite 574 can help improve flange sealing reliability while simplifying assembly and maintenance. Unlike conventional preformed gaskets, a liquid flange sealant can conform to small surface imperfections and provide consistent coverage across the mating area.
