Breakaway torque on M10 bolts of 26 Nm. Fluoresces under UV light. Perfect for temperatures between -65°F - 360°F (-54°C - 182°C). LOCTITE® 271™ is designed for the permanent locking and sealing of threaded fasteners. The product cures when confined in the absence of air between close fitting metal surfaces and prevents loosening and leakage from shock and vibration.
