Reactive thread locking processes apply dry to the touch chemical adhesives to internally or externally threaded fasteners. During installation the encapsulated components mix, causing a chemical reaction which locks together and seals the mating parts. In specific formulations an expansion also occurs, filling the gaps between fastener threads.
Epoxy-Lock®
Epoxy-Lock is a powerful self-locking & self-sealing factory thread adhesive that can be applied to male or female threaded fasteners of all sizes and configurations.
Expand-A-Lock®
Expand-A-Lock is a unique microencapsulated expanding self-locking and self-sealing compound. Unlike other threadlockers, it increases in volume once installed which causes the adhesive to fill any gaps.
ND Microspheres®
Acrylic
ND Microspheres Acrylic Series of threadlocking products are microencapsulated, room temperature curing adhesives that can be applied to male or female threaded fasteners of virtually all sizes, configurations, materials and finishes.
ND Microspheres®
Epoxy
ND Microspheres are microencapsulated, room temperature curing adhesives that can be applied to male or female threaded fasteners of all sizes and configurations.
ND Microspheres®
TA
ND Microspheres TA Series are microencapsulated, room temperature curing threadlocking products that can be applied to male or female threaded fasteners of most sizes and finishes.
3M™
Fastener Adhesives
Microencapsulated, room temperature-curing adhesives that are designed to be coated on the fasteners and dried; they remain dormant until the shearing action of engaging the fastener into a nut or threaded cavity breaks the capsules and allows the adhesive to cure.
