Lesson 3: The Research
The Research
Break vs. Prevail
| Threadlocker | Break (ft.lbs) |
Prevail (Unthreaded) (ft.lbs) |
| Blue | 115 | 53 |
| Orange | 139 | 193 |
| Red | 230 | 225 |
Orange Threadlockers’ higher breakaway and prevailing torque provides more than 3X stronger holding power in comparison to Threadlocker BLUE, but allows for easy fastener disassembly vs Threadlocker RED.
Torque Strength Retained After a High Vibration Test
Red Threadlockers traditionally are ideal for a strong permanent hold but may cause complications for mechanics who need to quickly remove fasteners.
The High Vibration Study tests the torque strength retained from Blue, Orange and Red Threadlockers. Orange Threadlocker surpassed 100% torque strength similar to a Red Threadlocker, making it the ideal hybrid solution.
