Description / Abstract:
This specification covers the performance of ISO metric or SAE
J476a to allow use with male threaded fasteners with sealer
compound applied to the thread.
NOTE: Fasteners with a sealer compound applied
to the thread are not recommended for re-use after initial
assembly.
Chemical residues from subsequent wash procedures may adversely
affect the curing performance of the compound, and care should be
taken in the selection of any media employed.
NOTE: These materials may be specified on
fasteners that have multiple stage finishing processes. In some
cases it may be advantageous to apply the adhesive material prior
to the torque control lubricant. It is recommended that the
processing route be agreed between the fastener maker, surface
finisher and adhesive applicator to meet the Ford requirements.
