Vibra-TITE VC-3 Original is a powerful locking and sealing coating for threaded fasteners, now available in a convenient 5ml tube. It works on the principle of "friction through viscosity," using a special blend of acrylic resins to prevent fasteners from loosening—even under prolonged and extreme shock and vibration.
Vibra-TITE VC-3 Original offers several advantages for fastener maintenance and assembly:
