Technical
For best results, ensure that the threads are clean, free from oil, and contaminants. Although Forch K121 can harden on unclean surfaces, cleaning will enhance bonding strength. Apply a few drops of the product onto the fastener thread and tighten as required. The product will start to set within minutes and achieve full functional strength within 1-3 hours and full cure within 5-10 hours. Special tools or heating to +300 °C are required to disassemble.
Benefits
Prevents loosening from vibrations and impacts; High temperature resistance; Ideal for use on bolts, screws, and nuts for a long-lasting hold; Provides secure fitting for safety-critical applications; Hardened connections can be disassembled with special tools or heat.
Install
1. Clean the threads of all dirt and oil. 2. Apply a few drops of the thread locker to the fasteners. 3. Assemble the parts and tighten as required. 4. Allow the product to set for 10-20 minutes before handling. 5. The bond will achieve functional strength in 1-3 hours and full cure in 5-10 hours.
Fitment
Ideal for automotive, industrial, and heavy machinery applications. Suitable for bolts, screws, and nuts up to M20 thread size.
