precote 30
Middle-Strength Coating for Sealing with Controlled Friction
Description
precote 30, precote 30-3 and precote 30-8 are varnish-like, solvent-free coating systems based on microencapsulated acrylates for sealing and locking of threaded parts. The dried film is tack-free and non-sticky.
The microcapsules are destroyed by compressive and shear stress during assembly, and the released components mix and harden.
Application
All versions of precote 30 are middle strength thread locking coatings with a high sealing effect. They can be used on all types of external and internal threads.

The physical data and chemical resistance of precote 30-3 and precote 30-8 match with the data of the standard version precote 30 after complete curing.
The coating can be used in all kind of assembly procedures, particularly for serial production.
Areas of application are electronics, two wheel and automotive industry, household appliances, office machines, computer industry, electric motors, e-mobility, etc.
Properties
- precote 30 and precote 30-8 meet the required values of DIN 267-27 after 6 hours curing at RT. Fast curing precote 30-3 meets these values after 30 minutes
- Constant assembly properties
- Temperature range up to +150°C (+300°F)
- Low, controlled friction
- Good thermal and chemical resistance
- Forms a dry and tack free film
- Captive part of the thread
- No post-curing even after repeated temperature exposure
- Prevents corrosion in the threaded connection

Note
As we do not know the specimen, dimensions, materials, combinations, surface conditions etc. of the threads in question, it is absolutely essential to run quality tests prior to general use to make sure about the required performance under field conditions. Our guarantee is confined to supplying precote® in proper quality. In view of the fact that processing of precote by the coating partner and the application of precote® coated parts are beyond our control we cannot guarantee for the quality of parts coated with precote® and assemblies made thereof. We accept liability for the fitness of our products for particular purposes and liability for particular qualities of our products only in the event that we have accepted such liability in writing in the individual case. In any event any justified warranty claims shall be limited to the delivery of replacement goods which are free from defect or, in the event that such subsequent improvement fails, to reimbursement of the purchase price. Any and all further claims, in particular but without limitation any liability for consequential damage, shall be excluded.
