Viscosity
Viscosity is a product property associated with all Loctite®
adhesive / sealants. Viscosity is defined as a measure of the
resistance of a fluid to flow (usually through a specific
orifice). A measure of this fluid “thickness” is expressed in
centipoise values. The higher the number, the thicker the
product. Thicker products are less flowable, and in most
cases, will fill a larger gap if necessary. The following chart
relates viscosity to some products we are all familiar with:
Some products are considered thixotropic. This describes
materials that are gel-like at rest but fluid when agitated.
Ketchup is a good example that exhibits this property.
Loctite® products include Loctite® 262™ Threadlocker and
Loctite® 509™ Flange Sealant.

Shelf Life
What is the Henkel shelf life policy for Loctite
The shelf life period for Loctite® products is one year from
date of shipment from Henkel facilities or as indicated by
package labeling. For optimal storage, maintain product at a
temperature between 8°C (46°F) to 21°C (70°F). Storage
below 8°C (46°F) or greater than 28°C (82°F) can adversely
affect product properties. Cyanoacrylate products must be
stored under refrigerated conditions at 2°C (36°F) to 8°C
(46°F). Storage below 2°C (36°F) or greater than 8°C (46°F)
can adversely affect product properties. Products requiring
storage at conditions other than those specified here are
labeled accordingly. Material removed from containers may
be contaminated during use. Do not return product to
original containers. Henkel cannot assume responsibility for
product that has been contaminated or stored under
conditions other than as recommended. This policy
supersedes all previous policies regarding shelf life and
storage of Loctite® products.
Do the 9 character batch codes on containers signify the
date of shipment?
How do you read this 9 character batch code?
Once a product reaches its “1 year from date of shipment”
date, does this mean it can no longer be used?
example:
No...
Certified shelf life is based on this code only if date of
shipment cannot be determined. This is generally two
years from date of manufacturing for most products.
No...
Contact Customer Service (800 -243- 4874) for details.
