Loctite #603 Oil Tolerant Retaining Compound is a bearing and cylindrical-fit adhesive from Loctite, formulated to bond press-fit metal parts, such as pins, bushings, and bearings, even when a trace of residual oil is present on the surface. Most retaining compounds need a fully degreased surface to bond well, so an oil-tolerant formula saves a cleanup step on parts that are difficult to fully strip. It’s sized at 1.69 fl oz, a bench-top bottle for repeated small jobs rather than production-line volume.

Key Specifications
