Loctite 2400 is fluorescent blue with a viscosity of 3000mPa·s and a shear strength on steel of 9N/mm². The high-strength Loctite 2700 is fluorescent green, has a viscosity of 500mPa·s and a shear strength of 18N/mm². Once cured, both products offer excellent resistance against vibration and most industrial chemicals. They achieve good thermal resistance, withstanding continuous operating temperatures up to 150°C.
