Application Tips – Retaining Compound
What is the recommended surface finish for optimum performance of a retaining compound?

A surface finish of 1.6 to 3.2Ra is recommended to achieve maximum strength.

What is the optimum gap to achieve maximum strength ?

Though retaining compounds can fill gap up to 0.25mm, the maximum performance is achieved at a diametrical gap of around 0.05mm

How to handle excess product squeezed out during assembly?

Extra product squeezed out does not cure hence does not interfere in any other operation, still sometimes this can travel to unwanted assembly parts and cure, hence it is recommended to clean them immediately after application

Is it necessary to clean the surface prior to retaining?

Yes. Surface cleanliness is extremely important and degreasing with a solvent based Loxeal Cleaner consistently provides maximum retaining strength

How doesLoxeal retaining compound help?

An interference joint assembly very often does not provide optimum result in terms of joint strength. This is because actual surface to surface contact in machinedparts is less than 30% thus reducing frictional joint strength. By introducing retaining compound between the interference joint, 100% contact is formed and strength is increased significantly.

How to apply the Loxeal retaining compound?

After the application of retaining compound assembly must be done while rotating the male component and ensuring100% surface wetting/spread has happened.

Can retaining compounds be heat cured?

Yes.A Loxeal retaining compound can be heat cured either to speed up the curing process or to increase the cross linking and strength.

Can Loxealretaining compound be used on inactive metals

Retaining compounds when used on inactive surfaces such as Stainless Steel,anodized aluminium, coated metals etc. tend to cure slowly. If faster cure is desired, use LoxealActivator-11.However prior testing is recommended because Activator-11 can reduce the final joint strength.
