About Threadlockers and Retaining Compounds
Threadlockers and gasket sealants are used to secure fasteners and create a waterproof seal between two surfaces. These products are designed to keep parts from loosening due to vibration or corrosion, and can provide an additional layer of protection against leaks.
Types of Threadlockers and Gasket Sealants
Threadlockers come in various strengths, ranging from low-strength removable threadlockers that can be easily undone with hand tools, to high-strength permanent threadlockers that require heat for removal. Gasket sealants come in a variety of formulations such as non-hardening liquid sealant, semi-hardening paste sealant, and hardening anaerobic adhesives.
How Threadlockers and Gasket Sealants are Made
Threadlockers are typically made up of cyanoacrylate esters which form a strong bond when exposed to air. Gasket sealants contain polymers like silicone rubber or nitrile rubber which cure into a flexible rubber material when exposed to moisture.
