LOCTITE SF 7063 Industrial Cleaner and Degreaser for Surface Preparation Before Bonding
Key Benefits of LOCTITE SF 7063 Industrial Cleaner
This general-purpose industrial cleaner supports reliable surface preparation without adding a curing step. The non-CFC solvent formulation evaporates rapidly and leaves no residue when correctly applied. Because the liquid has low viscosity, it can reach narrow areas, threaded features, corners, and complex component surfaces that are difficult to clean with thicker products.
LOCTITE SF 7063 Industrial Cleaner is especially valuable before using LOCTITE adhesives, threadlockers, retaining compounds, gasketing products, and other bonding systems. A properly cleaned surface helps remove contaminants that may interfere with adhesive wetting, curing, or final bond performance. The cleaner itself does not accelerate or reduce adhesive cure; its purpose is to create a clean and dependable bonding surface.
LOCTITE SF 7063 Industrial Cleaner Applications
Recommended applications include cleaning metal housings, bearings, gears, flanges, fasteners, shafts, brackets, tools, machine parts, and assembly components. It is suited to production lines, automotive maintenance, industrial equipment servicing, metalworking facilities, mechanical workshops, and general manufacturing environments.
The cleaner can remove grease, oil, lubrication fluids, metal cuttings, fines, and handling contamination before bonding or reassembly. It may be used during preventive maintenance to clean components before inspection. Compatibility should always be checked before use because the solvent may affect certain plastics, painted surfaces, elastomers, or sensitive coatings.
Typical Properties of LOCTITE SF 7063 Industrial Cleaner
The product is supplied as a clear, colorless solvent cleaner based on an isoparaffin, dimethoxymethane, and ethanol blend. Typical technical values include a specific gravity of approximately 0.74 at 25°C, viscosity of about 2 mPa·s at 20°C, and drying time of no more than 60 seconds at 20°C under the stated test conditions. Actual drying performance may vary with temperature, airflow, quantity applied, surface geometry, and contamination level.
How to Use LOCTITE SF 7063 Industrial Cleaner
Spray the cleaner directly onto the surface or apply it using a clean, solvent-resistant paper towel. While the area remains wet, wipe away heavy contamination with a clean cloth. Repeat the process when necessary and use additional cleaner to flush loosened residue away from the component.
Allow the solvent to evaporate completely before applying adhesive. This step helps prevent solvent entrapment inside the bond line. Once the surface is dry, apply the selected LOCTITE adhesive promptly and assemble the parts according to the relevant product instructions. Always review the current Safety Data Sheet and follow local rules for ventilation, storage, fire prevention, and personal protection.
Why Buy LOCTITE SF 7063 Industrial Cleaner?
For purchasing teams and maintenance professionals, this product offers recognized LOCTITE quality, simple one-component use, rapid evaporation, broad industrial cleaning capability, and convenient integration into existing bonding workflows. Available packaging may vary by market, including aerosol and bulk container formats, allowing buyers to select a size suitable for maintenance benches, field service, or regular production use.
Store unopened containers in a dry location, away from ignition sources, oxidizing agents, and combustible materials. Henkel lists an optimal storage range of 8°C to 21°C; temperatures below 8°C or above 28°C may affect product properties.
