Vibra-Tite VC-3 Threadmate is one of the most versatile threadlockers available on the market. An alternative to traditional liquid lockers which cure to form a hard bond, VC-3 is a proprietary blend of thermoplastic elastomer resins designed to remain flexible and absorb vibration.
The combination of inert/non-reactive amorphous resins creates a tough, semi solid layer inside the threads of a mated joint. VC-3 damps the vibrational energy transferred between the threads of a mated fastener, preventing fastener loosening and loss of clamp load. These unique differences make VC-3 coated fasteners truly adjustable, removable, and reusable.
Shake well before each use. Apply VC-3 a length of 1 to 1 ½ times the fastener diameter, filling threads 30-50%. Although material will be dry to touch within minutes, allow VC-3 to dry for at least 30 minutes (the longer the better), depending on part size. Fasteners are then ready for assembly or to be stored for later use.
Excellent shelf life Parts coated with Vibra-Tite VC-3 can be stored indefinitely before use.
Versatile Adheres to both ferrous and non-ferrous metals, most platings, wood, and plastic (see table) screws.
Reliable, powerful lock With exceptional reliability, VC-3 holds parts in place even during extreme vibration and shock.
Multiple reuses Using steady pressure and standard hand tools, parts coated with VC-3 can be easily adjusted, removed, and reused.
Minimizes galling / stripping Since Vibra-Tite VC-3 remains a thick, resilient, viscous resin, its cold flow properties actually minimize the galling or stripping of soft threads during reuse.
Underwater installation Unlike anaerobic thread lockers, VC-3 can be air-dried and then installed into a mating part under both fresh and saltwater.
From tiny eyeglass screws to huge construction bolts, Vibra-Tite VC-3 is ideal for use on fasteners of any size.
Mounting ski/snowboard bindings, plates and inserts.
