ND Microspheres® TA

ND Microspheres TA Series are microencapsulated, room temperature curing threadlocking products that can be applied to male or female threaded fasteners of most sizes and finishes.


Description:

  • ND Microspheres TA Series remain inert until the coated fastener is assembled to its mating part. The forces of engagement crush the microscopic capsules and release the activator that creates a strong chemical bond between the parts.
  • Within minutes of assembly, ND Microspheres TA Series forms a substantial bond between the mating surfaces. Curing continues normally for up to 24 hours.

Features:

    Low Prevailing On Torque: Assembles easily with common hand tools.

    Fast Fixture Time: Under typical conditions, fixture is achieved within 5 minutes.

    Versatile: ND Microspheres TA Series are compatible with most sizes, configurations, materials and finishes.

    Long Shelf Life: Once applied and stored in a cool, dry environment, ND Microspheres TA Series remains inert until a cure is activated by engagement with a mating part.

    Unaffected By Foreign Substances: Oil, gasoline, salt spray, acids, solvents, and water have virtually no effect on ND Microspheres TA Series after a final cure is achieved.

    Saves Money: ND Microspheres TA Series brand pre-applied threadlocker is less expensive than applying bottled threadlocking compounds at the point of assembly.

    Three Specifically Designed Formulas: ND Microspheres TA Series offers three formulas that address differing needs.

    TA300 is a low strength material.

    TA800 is a high strength/high temperature material.

    TA850 is a high strength, high temperature material with minimal torque tension deviation.
