In the industrial sector, a leak does not usually start with a sealant failure. It starts much earlier: with poor thread preparation.
Machining oils, metal residues, grease, or microscopic particles can completely compromise sealing performance, even when using high-quality products like LOCTITE 55.
And here is the reality that any assembly professional knows: a good sealant will never compensate for a poorly prepared surface.
Therefore, if you are looking for reliable, durable, and professional thread sealing, you need to understand how to properly prepare a thread before applying the sealant.
In installations for:
Leak-tightness depends directly on the adhesion and compaction of the sealant on the threaded surface.
When contaminants are present, the product does not work at 100% of its capacity.

Threads usually contain:
The result can be:
In other words: avoidable costs.
Before applying any industrial sealant or adhesive, the surface must be completely clean and dry.
This is where LOCTITE SF 7063 comes into play, the technical cleaner specifically designed to prepare surfaces before assembly.
Fast evaporation: Leaves no residue and speeds up work times.
Effective removal of grease and oils: Ensures better sealant adhesion.
Improved sealing performance: Proper preparation increases connection reliability.
Compatible with industrial applications: Ideal for maintenance, industrial plumbing, and technical assembly.
Once the surface is prepared, the key moment arrives: sealing.
LOCTITE 55 is a high-performance thread sealant designed for metal and plastic threaded connections.
It has become one of the leading solutions for:
Instant sealing: Does not require curing time.
Allows readjustments: Can be readjusted up to 45° without compromising leak-tightness.
Does not crumble: Unlike traditional PTFE tape.
Compatible with multiple materials: Works on metal and plastic connections.
International certifications: Approved for gas, potable water, oxygen, and hydrogen.
Henkel has recently reformulated LOCTITE 55 by eliminating PFAS/PTFE substances, anticipating future European regulations.
This means that professionals can continue working with:
but with a formulation more aligned with new regulatory and environmental requirements.
A strategic move that positions LOCTITE as a technological reference within the industrial sealing sector.
