What Loctite 567 is for
The general-purpose thread sealant for metal tapered threads and fittings, and the one to reach for on stainless steel. Its high lubricity prevents galling — the cold-welding of stainless threads that seizes a fitting solid — which is why it is specified across chemical processing, refining, pulp and paper, marine and gas distribution work.
Key features
- Prevents galling on stainless steel, aluminium and other metal threads
- Low strength — comes apart with hand tools
- Oil tolerant; cures on passive substrates including stainless and plated
- Certified to ANSI/NSF Standard 61 for potable water to 82°C (a regional approval)
- UL classified (MH8007) for petrol, petroleum oils, natural gas, butane and propane
- ULC classified to 13,790 kPa for natural gas, methane, petrol and petroleum oils
- Tested to GASTEC QA AR-214 for hydrogen service (a regional approval)
- Cold strength tested to −75°C
Typical applications
- Steam lines
- Hot water and gas

How to use it
- Clean all surfaces, external and internal, with a Loctite cleaning solvent and allow to dry.
- On inactive metals, or if the cure is too slow, spray with Loctite SF 7471 or SF 7649 activator and allow to dry.
- Apply a 360° bead to the leading threads of the male fitting, leaving the first thread free.
- Force the material into the thread roots to fill the voids. On larger threads, apply a 360° bead to the female threads as well.
- Assemble and wrench-tighten in line with the fitting manufacturer's recommendations.
- A properly tightened fitting seals instantly to moderate pressure; allow 24 hours for maximum pressure and solvent resistance.
Handling and storage
- Not recommended for pure oxygen or oxygen-rich systems.
- Not a sealant for chlorine or other strong oxidising materials.
- Not normally recommended on plastics — thermoplastics can stress-crack.
- Disassembly is with standard hand tools; over 1 in. diameter or long engagement may need localised heat to about 250°C.
- Store unopened and dry, ideally 8°C to 21°C; outside 8–28°C the properties can be affected.
- Do not return decanted product to the original container.
- For potable water work, wipe away excess uncured product with a lint-free cloth and Loctite SF 7063 or similar.
Loctite 567 or 577?
Both seal metal tapered threads. 567 is the low-strength, high-lubricity grade — it is the anti-galling choice on stainless and comes apart easily. 577 is medium strength with higher torque figures and a 0.25 mm gap capability, for joints that should stay put. For plastic threads or an immediately adjustable joint, use 55.
