New product from permatex Orange threadlocker

I don't know how long it's been out, but I just saw it locally so not very long, and tried it. It falls between RED and Blue threadlocker. According to the accompanying data sheet its 3x stronger than blue, but unlike red can be loosened with hand tools. I tried it and so far I really like it. I have a few connections on the cat that blue just doesn't do the job (it did help just not as much as I wanted) and red would exceed the shear strength of the fastener. So another tool in the tool box.

I use BLUE on most stuff, but I could see the need for ORANGE on high vibration machines.
