LOCTITE 7063 Industrial Cleaner and Degreaser for Surface Preparation Before Bonding
Key Benefits of LOCTITE 7063 Industrial Cleaner
LOCTITE 7063 Industrial Cleaner provides a simple one-component cleaning process for production teams, repair workshops, and maintenance departments. The non-CFC solvent formulation evaporates rapidly, helping users move from cleaning to bonding with minimal delay. Because it leaves no residue when used correctly, the product supports a clean surface for the subsequent application of LOCTITE adhesives, threadlockers, retaining compounds, gasketing materials, and other industrial assembly products.
The low-viscosity liquid can be sprayed directly onto a component or applied with a solvent-resistant paper towel. It suits flat bonding areas, threads, flanges, shafts, gears, housings, fasteners, bearings, and tools. It supports production and maintenance tasks.
LOCTITE 7063 Industrial Cleaner Applications
This cleaner is designed for pre-assembly cleaning and degreasing of surfaces before bonding. It can also be used to clean machine components during maintenance operations. Common applications include removing machining oil from metal parts, cleaning assemblies before inspection, preparing flanges before gasketing, degreasing threaded fasteners before threadlocking, and cleaning shafts or hubs before applying retaining compounds.
LOCTITE 7063 Industrial Cleaner is widely suited to industrial manufacturing, transportation equipment, heavy machinery, metalworking, repair facilities, and general mechanical assembly. Surface compatibility should be checked before full application, especially on plastics, painted substrates, elastomers, coatings, or other solvent-sensitive materials. Test a small area first to confirm compatibility.
Typical Properties of LOCTITE 7063 Industrial Cleaner
The formulation is based on an isoparaffin, dimethoxymethane, and ethanol blend. Typical uncured properties include a specific gravity of approximately 0.74 at 25°C and a viscosity of about 2 mPa·s at 20°C. Under the stated test conditions, the drying time is no more than 60 seconds at 20°C. Actual evaporation time may vary according to airflow, temperature, application quantity, component geometry, and the amount of contamination present.
How to Use LOCTITE 7063 Industrial Cleaner
Spray the cleaner onto the surface or wipe the area with a solvent-soaked paper towel. While the surface remains wet, remove heavy contamination using a clean cloth. Spray again when necessary so loosened dirt can run off the component. Repeat the cleaning process until the surface is visibly clean, then allow the solvent to evaporate completely before applying adhesive.
Apply the selected LOCTITE adhesive promptly after drying and assemble the parts according to the adhesive instructions. Complete evaporation is important because trapped solvent may interfere with the bond joint. Always provide suitable workplace ventilation, keep the product away from ignition sources, wear appropriate personal protective equipment, and review the current Safety Data Sheet before handling or storage.
Why Buy LOCTITE 7063 Industrial Cleaner?
LOCTITE 7063 Industrial Cleaner combines fast evaporation, residue-free cleaning, broad industrial usefulness, and easy integration into existing assembly processes. It helps purchasing teams standardize surface preparation and gives operators a convenient solution for removing common contaminants before bonding, maintenance, or inspection.
Packaging availability may vary by market, with aerosol and larger container options offered in selected regions. Store unopened containers in a dry location, with Henkel identifying 8°C to 21°C as the optimal storage range.
