See the main Loctite 648 page for details.
What is a loctite 648 high temperature?
Loctite threadlockers, retaining compounds and flange sealants are anaerobic: they stay liquid in air and cure when trapped between metal parts. Threadlockers stop bolts loosening from vibration, retaining compounds fix bearings and bushes, and flange sealants replace cut gaskets.
Instant adhesives are cyanoacrylates that bond in seconds. Therefore, the right product depends on the job: lock, seal, retain or bond.
