Thread Compounds
Applied as a liquid or gel, Threadlockers are superior to conventional lock washers, nylon inserts, and other mechanical devices because they secure the entire fastener assembly against loosening from shock and vibration by filling the space between threaded metal parts, curing to form a tough, adhesive bond and seal. They also seal the threads against leakage, preventing rust and corrosion.
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.
Permatex Threadlocker Gels come in high strength red threadlocker and medium strength blue threadlocker. Supplied in the GEL TWIST™ and GEL SQUEEZE™ Applicators these products provide “liquid quality” reliability without the mess, globs, drips or waste.
