Thread Lock Adhesive – Adhesive that Leaves No Gaps
Many people in the industrial and manufacturing sectors are unhappy with conventional methods of fastening, namely mechanical fasteners. Thread lock adhesive was invented in order to provide stronger bonds, gapless grips, and to replace mechanical fasteners and locking devices, so that assemblies do not leak, to reduce rust and to prevent future loosening of fasteners. Mechanical locking devices have been used in almost every fastening application, such as motor mounts, screws, setscrews, and bolts and general product assemblies. However, mechanical fasteners were unable to alleviate fluid leakage or gaps entirely. Mechanical fasteners are also prone to rust and loosening in many assembly applications and in many environments and conditions. Thus, something was desperately needed to overcome the shortcomings of the conventional fastening methods and the time required to manufacture the devices.
Thread lock adhesive products are applied directly over mechanical locking devices or fasteners, in order provide durable, long-lasting bonds. Assembly applications use adhesives to fasten parts so that impacts or vibrations do not loosen mechanical fasteners. One of the most useful aspects of thread lock adhesives is giving mechanical locking tools increased grip strength; and some adhesives are removable, usually for maintenance purposes, with just added pressure from hand tools. However, a few sturdy thread lock compounds such as our green and red compounds need some heat for removal. The blue thread lock compounds are also quite good at gripping that is why they are used in the RC Series for pipe sealers or for gasketing sealants. Learn more about thread lock adhesive products.
Adhesive Systems’ thread lock adhesive products are used in a variety of applications including sealing pipes and for fastening parts where there is a substantial chance of vibration that could loosen mechanical fasteners. Make use of thread lock adhesive for pipes, tubing, frames, automotive applications, industrial assemblies, and other products that need long-term fastening. There are numerous types of thread lock adhesive currently available in the market. These adhesives are usually sold in three different strengths namely high, medium and low strength. In addition, these come in various types of viscosities such as liquid, semisolid and gel.
