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 contact for optimal stress distribution and a durable bond. 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 adhesive for thread sealing, thread locking, flange sealing or cylindrical fastening:
Loxeal 58-11 – Thread Sealant
medium strength for gas, oil & water
Suitable for sealing against gas, drinking water, LPG, hydrocarbons, oils, CFCs and other chemicals. Developed to improve performance and is not required to be labelled according to the current directives for chemical products. Forms a solid, medium-strength seal that can be dismantled with standard tools. High resistance to shock, vibration and heat.
Loxeal 55-03 – Screw locking medium strength, 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 variety of chemicals. Gas and drinking water approved.
Loxeal 28-12 – Flange seal, elastic
Anaerobic adhesive designed to act as a form-in-place gasket for rigid flange connections of pumps, gearboxes, motor housings and threaded joints. Designed to meet the highest standards for health and safety as it is non-marking.
Loxeal 53-11 – Bearing assembly, removable
Medium strength anaerobic adhesive for mounting bearings. High resistance to heat, corrosion, vibration, water, gas, oil and a variety of chemicals.
