Retaining Compounds
For nonthreaded metal cylindrical parts such as shafts, hubs, bearings, bushings, splines, and pulleys. They prevent corrosion and fluid leakage between surfaces, resist most chemicals, allow reuse of slightly worn parts, and provide better strength than shrink-fit and press-fit assemblies. Come in bottles.
603™— High strength and contaminant resistant. Fills spaces up to 0.005" dia.
609™— High strength and low viscosity (125 cp). Fills spaces up to 0.005" dia.
620™— High strength, high viscosity (8500 cp), and high temperature. Fills spaces up to 0.015" dia.
638™— Maximum strength. Fills spaces up to 0.015" dia.
648™— High strength. Fills spaces up to 0.006" dia.
