Anaerobic adhesives cure metal-to-metal in an oxygen-free environment, and are most commonly used in bolted joints. The adhesive fills small cavities and creates 100% metal-to-metal contact for optimal stress distribution and a durable connection. The cured adhesive seals against water, gas, oil, liquids and chemicals and is particularly useful in applications subject to high vibration or pressure.
To achieve the best results with anaerobic adhesives, there are several important factors to consider:
✓ Choosing the right type of glue
✓ Prepare the surface properly
✓ Apply the right amount
✓ Tightening, curing time
✓ Temperature and resistance
4 good choices of anaerobic Loxeal adhesives for thread sealing, thread locking, flange sealing or cylindrical fastening:
Loxeal 58-11 - Thread seal
medium strength for gas, oil & water
Suitable for sealing against gas, potable water, LPG, hydrocarbons, oils, CFCs and other chemicals. Developed to improve work performance and is not subject to labelling under current chemical product directives. Forms a solid, medium-strength seal that can be removed with standard tools. High resistance to shock, vibration and heat.
Loxeal 55-03 - Medium strength screw lock, removable
A medium strength anaerobic adhesive for screw locking and sealing of threads, bolts and nuts where disassembly is required. Suitable for use on oily surfaces. Good resistance to vibration, heat, corrosion, water, gas, oil and a wide range of chemicals. Gas and drinking water approved.
Loxeal 28-12 - Flange seal, elastic
Anaerobic adhesive designed to act as a mould-in-place gasket for rigid flange connections of pumps, gearboxes, motor housings and threaded joints. Designed to meet the highest standards of health and safety as it is non-labelling.
Loxeal 53-11 - Bearing assembly, demountable
Medium strength anaerobic adhesive for bearing assembly. High resistance to heat, corrosion, vibration, water, gas, oil and a wide range of chemicals.
