A Different type of Threadlocker – perfect for motorcycle builds, repair, and general safety!

It holds like red 262, removable like blue 242, adjustable like no other and reusable up to 5X.

Vibra-Tite’s VC-3 was formulated in the late 60’s and was later TACOM approved to be used on the Abrams tank. They needed a threadlocker that could absorb the shock and impact of the recoil from the main armament. So, what does this have in common with your bike? Well, quite simply, if it can withstand the recoil vibration of a tank gun, it’ll definitely handle the vibration of a big V-Twin. But, the second most important feature of VC-3 is the fact that it provides a permanent-like hold that is removable, adjustable and reusable, up to 5x before you need to reapply it.

So, if you’re planning a bike build, repairing your current bike, battling a bolt that keeps coming loose, adding on accessories or preparing for the riding season, add VC-3 to the threads and keep ’em locked down.

VC-3 FOR MOTORCYCLE ENTHUSIASTS

WHAT IT DOES

Acts like a shock absorber, isolating the screw from the insert while dampening vibration caused by your motorcycle and the road.
Prevents the screw from rotating loose, yet always remains flexible allowing it to be adjusted, removed, and reused.

WHY IT WORKS

Vibra-Tite VC-3 Threadmate is one of the most versatile threadlockers available on the market. Unlike traditional liquid lockers which cure to form a hard bond, VC-3 is a blend of resins designed to remain flexible and absorb vibration. This unique difference makes VC-3 coated fasteners truly adjustable, removable, and reusable.

WHAT TO KNOW

An acrylic polymer that dampens and absorbs vibration
Will not harden like anaerobic threadlockers
Works with metal, wood, plastic* (Nylon, PPE, PP) and more
Fasteners are easily adjusted, removed and reused
Works on fasteners of any shape or size; From tiny eyeglass screws to large construction bolts and on internal or external threads
If your bike fasteners came with a threadlocker pre-applied, we also manufacture and process fasteners for many manufacturers around the world. To learn more about this process visit our ND Industries website.

*Allow the VC-3 to thoroughly dry before coming into contact with plastic.

HOW TO USE

Shake well before each use.

	Apply VC-3 a length of 1 to 1 ½ times the fastener diameter, filling threads 50-100%.
	Although material will be dry to touch within minutes, allow VC-3 to dry for 10-30 minutes (the longer the better), depending on part size.
	Bike screws are then ready to be installed or stored for later use. Once your parts are setup and adjusted, you’re ready to hit the road.
