Over the years, we’ve heard from customers who are frustrated that they can’t find the problem areas that are affected by vibration or even tampering. We’ve been happy to suggest a solution with DYKEM® Cross Check torque mark. DYKEM Torque Seal® Tamper-Proof Indicator Paste provides a convenient, visible method for identifying nuts, bolts, fasteners and assemblies that have loosened.

With a quick application of DYKEM Cross Check, the user can easily make a highly visible mark and then very simply detect when the torque has changed. It has saved considerable money for customers by being a recommended solution in providing warranty protection against tampering. Why? The mark will be broken if parts are tampered with or become loose. It’s like a wax seal for critical holds and fastening.

The Cross Check™ Torque Seal® Tamper Proof Indicator Paste is available in 8 highly visible colors: orange, green, red, yellow, blue, white, pink, and gray. Please note: this DYKEM cross check torque mark product is sold in cases of 24. Its recommended use is for Aerospace and Government markets, on fasteners used in panels for military planes and helicopters.

Here’s a quick link to all of the color choices of the DYKEM Cross-Check products.
