Thread Compounds
By filling the space between threaded metal parts, Thread Sealants cure to a pliable seal to prevent leakage caused by vibration loosening, tape shredding, solvent evaporation, damaged threads, and temperature cycling. Designed for low and high pressure applications, Thread Sealants seal instantly for on-line low pressure testing. When fully cured, they seal to the burst strength of most piping systems. The high lubricating properties ease assembly and prevent galling of the threads. For system repairs, parts may be disassembled with basic hand tools.
Threadlocker Gels, in a GEL TWIST™ and GEL SQUEEZE™ applicators, provides “liquid quality” reliability without the drips, globs, mess or waste.
Permatex Threadlocker gels come in high strength red threadlocker and medium strength blue threadlocker.
Threadlocker liquid or gel is superior to conventional lock washers, nylon inserts, and other mechanical devices because a threadlocker will secure the entire fastener assembly against loosening from shock and vibration. The threadlocker compound fills the space between threaded metal parts, curing to form a tough, adhesive bond and seal. This also means that the threads are protected against leakage, preventing rust and corrosion of the parts.
