Palm Labs Adhesives Turbo-Lock Threadlockers
Threadlockers are a single component anaerobic adhesive and are available as resins, gels, and pastes. They cure to a durable solid when exposed to metal ions in the absence of air, for example between a nut and bolt. Once the anaerobic adhesive is sealed between a nut and bolt and exposed to the metal ions, anaerobics rapidly polymerize to form a thermoset plastic which adheres to the metal components.
