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.
