What do the different Loctite threadlocker colors mean?

Red Threadlocker - High Strength

Red threadlocker is a high-strength adhesive designed for applications that require a permanent bond and maximum resistance to vibrations, shocks, and extreme conditions. It is the strongest and most secure type of threadlocker available. Red threadlocker is typically used in situations where the fasteners need to be secured permanently and any possibility of loosening or disassembly is undesirable.

Red threadlocker is commonly used in automotive and mechanical systems where critical components, such as engine mounts, bearing caps, and suspension bolts, need to be securely fastened. It prevents loosening caused by engine vibrations, road shocks, or constant use. Red threadlocker is utilized in heavy machinery, manufacturing equipment, and industrial installations. It ensures that critical fasteners remain in place despite constant vibrations, heavy loads, or exposure to harsh operating conditions. 

In construction projects, a red threadlocker is employed for securing structural components, such as anchor bolts, steel connections, and bridge elements. It enhances the structural integrity by preventing movement or loosening caused by wind, seismic activity, or heavy usage. When performing repairs or maintenance on equipment or machinery, red threadlocker can be used to ensure the long-term stability of the reassembled parts. It provides an added level of security, especially for components subjected to high stress or continuous movement.

It is worth noting that due to its permanent nature, disassembling parts secured with red threadlocker may require the application of heat or specialized tools to break the bond. Therefore, it is crucial to carefully consider the need for future disassembly before applying red threadlocker.

Blue Threadlocker - Medium Strength

Blue threadlocker creates a medium strength bond on the fastener to which it’s applied, and It provides a reliable locking action that helps maintain the integrity of assembled parts in applications where some disassembly may be required in the future. Blue threadlocker is designed to allow for easy disassembly with standard hand tools. It provides a secure hold but can be removed when necessary without excessive force or the need for specialized equipment.

This strength is ideal for automotive, machinery, equipment assembly, and other industries where periodic maintenance or adjustments are necessary. Although blue threadlocker provides a secure bond, it is not as strong as high-strength or permanent threadlockers. It offers sufficient resistance to vibrations and loosening while still allowing for disassembly without excessive effort. Usually, blue threadlocker can be removed with hand tools, but may require some intense heat.

Green Threadlocker - Medium-High Strength

Green threadlocker, also known as medium-strength threadlocker, is typically used for applications where a secure bond is needed, but disassembly may be required in the future. It provides a reliable locking effect on threaded fasteners while still allowing them to be removed with hand tools when necessary.

Green threadlocker is commonly used in various industries to secure bolts, screws, and nuts in machinery and equipment. It helps prevent loosening caused by vibrations and ensures the long-term reliability of the assembled components. It is used in the automotive industry to secure bolts and screws in engine components, suspension systems, brake systems, and other critical parts. The medium-strength bond ensures a secure connection while allowing for future repairs or maintenance. Green threadlocker is also handy for various do-it-yourself (DIY) projects, such as woodworking, furniture assembly, or home appliance repairs. It helps ensure the longevity of assembled parts and prevents them from coming loose over time.

It's worth noting that while green threadlocker offers a stronger bond than low-strength threadlockers, it may still require some force or the use of hand tools to disassemble the fasteners. If you anticipate frequent disassembly or need a temporary bond, a low-strength threadlocker might be more appropriate. Always refer to the product instructions and choose the appropriate threadlocker strength for your specific application.

Purple Threadlocker - Low Strength

Purple threadlocker is typically used for applications that require a low-strength bond. It is also known as low-strength threadlocker or removable threadlocker. The most common product in this category is Loctite 222, which is often referred to as "Purple Loctite."

This type of threadlocker is commonly used in applications where periodic maintenance, adjustments, or disassembly may be required, such as machinery, equipment, and instruments. It provides a reliable locking effect, reducing the risk of fastener failure due to loosening, while still allowing for convenient removal or adjustment without the need for excessive force or specialized tools.

When using purple threadlocker, it is important to carefully follow the manufacturer's instructions for application, curing time, and handling. This ensures optimal performance and the ability to disassemble the fasteners when needed.
