the ability to withstand high joint-movement is required.
It withstands on line, low pressure tests carried out before
product begins to cure. The thixotropic nature of LOCTITE® SI 50
5900® reduces the migration of liquid product after application
to the substrate. LOCTITE® SI 5900® has an excellent
