Vibra-Tite VC-3 Threadmate
$18.00 – $56.00
Vibra-Tite VC-3 Threadmate is one of the most versatile threadlockers available on the market. An alternative to traditional liquid lockers which cure to form a hard bond, VC-3 is a proprietary blend of thermoplastic elastomer resins designed to remain flexible and absorb vibration. The combination of inert/non-reactive amorphous resins creates a tough, semi solid layer inside the threads of a mated joint. VC-3 damps the vibrational energy transferred between the threads of a mated fastener, preventing fastener loosening and loss of clamp load. These unique differences make VC-3 coated fasteners truly adjustable, removable, and reusable.
- An acrylic polymer that damps and absorbs vibration
- Will not harden like anaerobic threadlockers
- Works with metal, wood, plastic (*see table) and more
- Fasteners are easily adjusted, removed and reused
- Works on fasteners of any shape or size, from tiny eyeglass screws to large construction bolts
- Works with internal or external threads
- Meets low out-gassing specifications (NASA SP-R-0022A, in accordance with ASTM E 595)
Shake well before each use. Apply VC-3 a length of 1 to 1 ½ times the fastener diameter, filling threads 30-50%. Although material will be dry to touch within minutes, allow VC-3 to dry for at least 30 minutes (the longer the better), depending on part size. Fasteners are then ready for assembly or to be stored for later use.
- From tiny eyeglass screws to huge construction bolts, Vibra-Tite VC-3 is ideal for use on fasteners of any size.
- Mounting ski / snowboard bindings, plates and inserts.
- RC models (Drones, Airplanes, Helicopters).
- Bolts on motorcycles.
Material technical properties
| Property | Data |
|---|---|
| Color | Red |
| Solvent | Methyl ethyl ketone |
| Cured form | Resilient plastic |
| Shelf life | Bottled: 5 Years from date of manufacture. Applied: Indefinite. |
| Chemical resistance | Offers resistance to most solvents (acts as a partial corrosion barrier) |
| Dries for use | 10-30 minutes+, depending on part size. |
| Drying method for bulk production | Best achieved using considerable airflow in addition to temperature not exceeding 130˚F |
| Operational temperature range | -65˚F to 165˚F (-54˚C to 74˚C) For other temperature applications, please contact us |
| Reusability | Using steady pressure and standard hand tools, parts coated with Vibra-Tite VC-3 can easily be adjusted, removed, and reused up to 5 times. |
| Minimizes Galling/Stripping | Since Vibra-Tite VC-3 remains a thick, resilient, viscous resin, its cold flow properties actually minimize galling or stripping of soft threads during reuse. |
| Engagement torque | Moderate |
| Breakaway torque | No distinct break; slow, fluid release as material cold flows |
| Standard coating length | 1 to 1 1/2 times diameter |
| Lead thread requirement | None |
| Thread Fill requirement | 30 – 50% of the thread root area |
| Also Known As | Vibra-Tite Formula 3 |
