Overview

EN 4492:2013 is a CEN European Standard in the Aerospace series that specifies requirements for anaerobic polymerisable threadlocking compounds used in aerospace applications. The standard covers non‑metallic adhesive materials formulated to give a torque strength of 19 Nm, and defines composition, delivery condition, processing, quality and environmental performance criteria for use on safety‑critical threaded assemblies.

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Material type: One‑part, anaerobic polymerisable threadlocking compound (acrylic ester of a polyhydroxy compound).
  • Performance targets:
    • Torque strength: > 19 Nm (characteristic 3.315).
    • Static shear strength: > 17 MPa (characteristic 3.310).
  • Delivery and processing:
    • Form: Liquid; processing condition: at least 24 h at (23 ± 2) °C.
    • Cure rate: > 4 minutes; reactivity with zinc: < 30 minutes; gel time stability at 100 °C: > 10 minutes.
    • Viscosity grades: multiple grades specified (examples: <50 mm2/s; 125±25; 500±250 for Grades 01–03; Grade 04: defined mPa·s values and thixotropic index).
  • Storage and safety:
    • Storage: < 25 °C, out of direct sunlight, in presence of oxygen.
    • Shelf life: not less than 12 months under storage conditions.
    • Flashpoint: > 100 °C.
  • Environmental testing and retention:
    • Dry heat and water immersion protocols with retention criteria: e.g., static shear and torque strength retention percentages after exposures (examples include >95% or >70% depending on condition and duration).
  • Quality and designation: Quality assurance and designation reference EN 3792 and the Aerospace series organisation guidance (EN 4385). The standard is classed as a level 3 material standard.

Applications and users

  • Typical uses: Locking and securing threaded fasteners and bolted assemblies in aircraft structures, engines, and avionic installations where predictable torque retention and resistance to vibration and thermal cycling are critical.
  • Who uses EN 4492: Aerospace material specifiers, adhesive manufacturers and suppliers, OEM procurement, aerospace materials engineers, maintenance/repair organizations, and quality assurance personnel responsible for qualifying threadlocking compounds for flight hardware.
