Delrin and Thread lock?

[CALI68]

Will Blue Threadlocker work with Delrin? Does it stick?

Thank You!

Um... just curious now, what are you doing?

I'd tell but I'd have to....

No seriously the latch on my Helious 9 can is tweeked (it came that way) it doesn't close "true." I called Halcyon and they said that I could
A) Send it in so they could replace it for me or

B) They can send me a latch and I can do it myself. It's a no brainer. The Halcyon Guy expressed some concern that maybe the threads will be a bit compromised when unscrewed and rescrewed in the delrin so he suggested some thread lock. Neither of us knew if it would "stick" so I turn to this area of the board.

Here is a link to Loctite with their suggestions for how to work with Delrin

See sheets 12-13 of their bonding plastics adhesives guide
http://www.loctite.us/int_henkel/loctite_us/binarydata/pdf/lt2197_PlasticsBondGguide.pdf

I found other data also such as:

Suggested Guidelines for Adhesion of Delrin

http://www.polygoncompany.com/Guidelines_for_Adhesion_of_Delrin_to_AeroSlide.pdf
-----------------------------------------------------
The Loctite data sheets in the link show that the use of a primer followed by Loctite 411 cyanoacrylate will give a satisfactory bond on acetal (Delrin).

Loctite will usually supply samples of their products if you call the Loctite sales offices.

Hope that helps

Thread lock, and most loctite products are cyanacrolates or anarobics.
They don't like water!
