A large number of methods for securing screw connections are used in industrial fields. These safeguards prevent loss of clamping force and preload force so that the connections don’t loosen involuntarily. Traditional mechanical procedures include securing using lock washers or self-locking nuts. An alternative to this procedure is anaerobic adhesives, which are used to secure connections.
They are used for all screw thread sizes, they are easy and clean to dispense and apply. Using anaerobic adhesives decreases product weight, since the adhesive is lighter than mechanical fastenings and seals. Furthermore, the use of adhesives reduces costs as these products are usually less expensive than mechanical options.
Anaerobic adhesives and sealants have long been an established means for securing screws. They are used in many industrial fields, like aircraft construction, the automotive industry and smartphone production. Today’s modern products would be inconceivable without anaerobic adhesives. Among other things, these adhesives enable lighter and more stable construction.
In addition to securing screw connections, anaerobic products can also be used in many other areas of application.
Stud bolts, bearings, bushes and other assembly parts can be fastened using anaerobic adhesives and sealants. They are suitable for sealing pipes as well as fine or rough threads. In addition, they have a wide application range for surface sealing.
Thanks to the versatility of anaerobic adhesives and sealants, these products are now used regularly in virtually all modern lifestyle product areas.
