Threadlocking
Threadlocking
In order to secure nuts, bolts, and screws in order and prevent loosening brought on by stress and
vibration, threadlockers act as glue. They take the place of conventional mechanical fasteners and
washers. Chemicals used in anaerobic curing create a solid layer between the threads of the
connection, sealing it in place. There are various versions of threadlockers with varying curing
durations, maximum strengths, and temperature ranges.
Characteristics of Threadlocker
They should display the following characteristics:
●Room temperature speeds up the curing process.
●Good consistency for application.
●Compatibility with acids, alkali, and solvents chemically.
●Resistance to vibration
Selection Advice
When choosing a threadlocker for your application, take the following factors into account:
1. Media: The media and threadlocker should have good chemical compatibility.
2. Curing time: Based on the kind and strength of the threadlocker, the operating cure time can range
from 1.5 to 30 minutes, while the threadlocker’s full curing time typically takes between 24 and 36
hours.
3. Approvals: Threadlockers have a variety of permissions that can be used in a variety of
applications. With gas application approval, low-strength and high-strength threadlocker are both
accessible. Drinking water and food-grade applications are covered by ANSI/NSF approvals.
4. Temperature: The effectiveness of the threadlocker might be impacted by temperature. For high–
temperature applications, high-temperature threadlockers are offered.
5. Torque: Based on the application, the threadlocker comes in low, medium, and high strengths. If it
might require to be disassembled later, use a medium-strength threadlocker. Hig- strength
threadlockers are appropriate for applications where the seal doesn’t need to be broken in the
