Retaining compounds
Powerful low-viscosity retaining compound for close-fitting cylindrical parts
A 1-part, retaining compound designed for bonding cylindrical fitting parts, such as bearings, bushings, and shafts. Suitable for use where consistently clean surfaces can't be assured, such as parts lightly coated with cutting fluids or rust preventative oils.

- Description
- Technical specification
If you can’t be sure the surfaces of your cylindrical fitting parts will always be clean, try LOCTITE® 603 high-strength retaining compound. It is capable of cutting through light coatings of oil on parts, such as cutting fluids and rust preventative oils. Its low viscosity makes it ideal for augmenting press / interference fits, or slip-fitted assemblies with small clearances. The high-strength adhesive reliably prevents loosening and leakage from shock and vibration on cylindrical parts, such as roller bearings or oil impregnated bushings into housings.

FAQ
If the parts cannot be separated using mechanical methods alone, Henkel recommends applying localized heat to the components for several minutes before applying force. Long-term exposure to temperatures in excess of 260°C (500°F) will start to degrade the adhesive and can aid disassembly.
All necessary H&S measures and PPE (personal protection equipment) requirements can be found on the product material safety data sheet, all of which are available via our website.
