Product Description
Permatex High Strength Threadlocker Red Formula is ideal for heavy-duty applications 10mm to 25mm and is especially well-suited for permanently locking studs and press fits. This high strength threadlocker adds 3,000 PSI holding power on slip and press fit assemblies and replaces set screws and snap rings. It also locks against vibration loosening. May require heat or special tools for removal. Applied as a liquid or gel, threadlockers are superior to conventional lock washers, nylon inserts, and other mechanical devices because they secure the entire fastener assembly against loosening from shock and vibration by filling the space between threaded metal parts, curing to form a tough, adhesive bond and seal. They also seal the threads against leakage, preventing rust and corrosion.

- Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2025Size: 10 mlStyle: Liquid - High TemperatureVerified PurchaseI love the Permatex 27200 High Temperature Threadlocker in red! It's perfect for preventing loosening and leakage in high heat conditions...
- Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2024Size: 10 mlStyle: Liquid - High TemperatureVerified PurchaseI bought a cast iron knight fireplace set on Amazon. I read a review and the person said that the nuts and the bolts to hold the utensils together would come loose so he recommended using Permatex Threadlocker Red. I bought this on Amazon and it did the trick. The heat of the fireplace does not affect the glue at all.

- Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2024Size: 6 mlStyle: Liquid - High StrengthVerified PurchaseI have worked on cars and trucks for most of my adult life ; you cannot do proper repairs
to engine parts or rebuilds/ repairs without using a product like threadlocker to make
sure your bolts and nuts are secured and not vibrate or loosen over time. It make you feel
more sure your repairs will stay secured.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2024Size: 10 mlStyle: Liquid - High TemperatureVerified PurchaseIt worked perfect, except it didnt seem to have a whole lot in it, don't know if it had dried up a little in shipping or storage, but it did work for the job that payed for it, just wish I would of had more to use on other jobs.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2024Size: 6 mlStyle: Liquid - High StrengthVerified PurchaseI needed a threadlock for a couple of small set screws going into aluminum on a mower cylinder head.
This went one easily and dried well. I did not try to remove the small set screw after it dried because it is something that will never need to be removed,, so I cannot say how tightly it locked the set screw in place.
A little bit goes a long way, so the small tube will last me pretty much forever.
