Vibra-TITE 122 Oil-Tolerant Removable Threadlocker, 50 ml Bottle — Blue, Medium Strength, Vibration-Resistant

Vibra-TITE 12250 is a blue, medium-strength anaerobic threadlocker formulated to lock and seal metal fasteners even on oily or plated surfaces while remaining removable with standard hand tools.

This 50 ml bottle of Vibra-TITE 122 Oil-Tolerant Removable Anaerobic Threadlocker offers a reliable way to secure bolts and nuts exposed to vibration, oil, or inactive metal finishes. It cures without air between metal surfaces to form a polymer that prevents fastener loosening and leakage while allowing later disassembly. The formulation is thixotropic—thicker when at rest and flowable under shear—so it stays where applied but penetrates threads when tightened.

How quickly will this threadlocker set on oily or plated fasteners?

Vibra-TITE 122 cures rapidly even on oily or plated metals, giving a workable fixture within minutes under normal room temperature conditions. Full cure develops over 24 hours, delivering the product's rated strength and solvent resistance.

• Fixture speed without primer: approximately 5–10 minutes at 25°C (77°F)
• Full cure time: 24 hours at 20–25°C
• Performs on plated, oiled, or otherwise inactive metal surfaces

What sizes and gap tolerances does it accommodate?

This threadlocker is suited for common fastener diameters and small gaps typical of threaded assemblies. It fills fine thread clearances and is engineered to seal and lock a wide range of bolt sizes while permitting later removal.

• Recommended fastener diameter range: 1/4" to 3/4" (6–20 mm)
• Maximum gap fill: 0.015 inches (≈0.38 mm)
• Seals threads to help prevent leakage and rust-lock in assemblies

How strong is the bond and can the joint be disassembled?

Vibra-TITE 122 delivers controlled medium strength that resists vibration and shock but allows disassembly using standard tools. Breakaway and prevailing torque values show it holds fast under load while permitting serviceability when required.

• Typical breakaway: ~100–130 in·lbs on 3/8" phos-oil fasteners
• Typical prevailing: ~40–60 in·lbs on 3/8" phos-oil fasteners
• Designed to replace mechanical locking devices like lock washers and nylon inserts

What storage and handling steps extend shelf life and performance?

Proper storage keeps the adhesive ready for reliable use. Refrigeration and moderate temperatures are recommended, and surfaces should be free of heavy oils and contaminants for best adhesion.

• Store refrigerated between 0°C and 35°C; ideal around 25°C ±2°C
• Shelf life: typically 12–18 months depending on storage temperature
• Apply to clean, dry threads; normally hand-applied from the bottle

Who is this for? Vibra-TITE 12250 suits maintenance technicians, assembly operators, and equipment owners who need a removable yet dependable locking solution for metal fasteners exposed to oil, vibration, or inactive finishes. It’s appropriate for machinery, gearboxes, conveyors, hydraulic fittings, and general industrial or construction hardware where corrosion prevention, leak resistance, and later disassembly matter. Use it when you want a stronger, cleaner alternative to mechanical locking devices while keeping serviceability in mind.
