Vibra-TITE® VC-3® Red Threadmate from SkyGeek is one of the most versatile threadelockers on the market, formulated to maintain flexibility and to easily absorb vibrational forces. While traditional liquid threadlockers cure to form a hard bond, Vibra-TITE® VC-3® Red Threadmate maintains its flexibility to allow for better vibration absorption. The secret to Vibra-TITE® VC-3® Red Threadmate's unique degree of flexibility is that it is made using a proprietary blend of thermoplastic elastomer resins. In this unique blend, inert and non-reactive amorphous resins come together to create a semi-solid layer that fills in the threads of a mated joint, absorbing vibrations and keeping fasteners firmly in place.
Prevent fastener loosening and prevent loss of clamp load by using Vibra-TITE® VC-3® Red Threadmate on all of your most important connections. Vibra-TITE® VC-3® Red Threadmate goes on easily and cures readily, forming a strong bond and a lasting hold. Because Vibra-TITE® VC-3® Red Threadmate maintains a degree of flexibility, threadlocker is adjustable, removable and reusable.
Excellent Shelf Life: Parts coated with Vibra-Tite VC-3 can be stored indefinitely before use. Versatile: Vibra-Tite VC-3 adheres to both ferrous and non-ferrous metals, most platings, wood, and plastic screws. Creates Reliable, Powerful Lock & Seal: With exceptional reliability, Vibra-Tite VC-3 holds parts in place even during extreme vibration and resists leakage by acting as a dam between mated threads. Offers Multiple Reuses: Using steady pressure and standard hand tools, parts coated with Vibra-Tite VC-3 can easily be adjusted, removed and reused. Minimizes Galling/Stripping: Since Vibra-Tite VC-3 remains thick, resilient, taffy-like "viscous resin," its cold flow properties actually minimize galling or stripping of soft threads during reuse. Low Cost: Vibra-Tite VC-3 is only a fraction of the cost of anaerobic adhesives.
