VC-3 Tape Instant Threadlocker
VC-3 Tape is a unique patent pending anti-vibration compound designed to prevent fastener loosening. Stretch and wrap VC-3 Tape around the threads of a fastener. VC-3 Tape is ready for immediate use with no drying or curing time required. After installation, a fastener wrapped with VC-3 Tape can be adjusted, removed, and re-used up to 3 times. (For small, fine thread fasteners, use liquid VC-3 Threadmate.)

Step 2
Stretch and tightly wrap VC-3 Tape around the fastener 1.5 to 2 revolutions at the area of engagement.
Step 3
Install into mating part. Ready for immediate use.
VC-3 Tape v. Traditional Anaerobics
Liquid anaerobics cure to a hard, rigid thermoset material that can crack under vibration, be difficult to remove, and damage plastics. VC-3 Tape is compatible with all plastics and metals. It exhibits a continuous resistance to movement, allowing for easy adjustment and removal.
VC-3 Tape v. PTFE Tape
PTFE tape does not prevent loosening. VC-3 Tape provides an excellent seal on threaded piping systems for natural gas and non-potable water, while preventing the piping from loosening.
