Upon researching, I learned that Permatex actually makes 4 different "RED" Threadlockers.
Permatex "High Strength" #27110: https://www.permatex.com/products/t...ermatex-high-strength-threadlocker-red-10-ml/
Permatex "Permanent Strength" #26210: https://www.permatex.com/products/t...ex-permanent-strength-threadlocker-red-10-ml/
Permatex "High Temperature" #27240: https://www.permatex.com/products/t...atex-high-temperature-threadlocker-red-36-ml/
Permatex "Large Diameter" #27740: https://www.permatex.com/products/t...rmatex-large-diameter-threadlocker-red-36-ml/
I'm guessing that some of these are relabeled Loctite products, but I was surprised to find that there are 4 different "RED" threadlockers with slightly different uses. So, whenever someone says to use "RED" threadlocker, it might be good to confirm which type is needed.
EDIT: This thread goes into some detail on the differences:
