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