Fastener Tightening Compound

VibraTite VC3 from ND Industries is designed for use on internal and external threads of virtually any material or finish. Fasteners with VC3 preapplied by ND Industries arrive dry to the touch and ready for installation. Unlike many other preapplied threadlockers, VC3 does not require heat for its application process, which reduces the chance of degradation of the fastener or its finish. The substance prevents fastener assemblies from loosening by acting as a shock absorber between the threads, dampening vibration and preventing the loss of clampload. The formulation allows fasteners to be adjusted with standard hand tools, yet still maintain antivibration abilities. For more information, visit www.ndindustries.com  .
