Threadlockers
Threadlocker sealants secure threaded fasteners and prevent loosening caused by vibration and corrosion in extreme aerospace environments. We offer a variety of threadlocker types, strengths, and viscosities--high, medium, and low-strength threadlocker sealants are available in liquid and paste formulations. Shop top-brands like Henkel Loctite and CRC Industries to find the right threadlocker formula for your application needs.Frequently Asked Questions
What is threadlocker used for?
Threadlocker sealant is used in aviation to secure gaps between threads on bolts, screws, and other threaded fasteners to lock them in place and prevent loosening caused by vibrations. Another benefit of the threadlocker sealant is that it provides corrosion protection, which serves to prolong the lifespan of critical aircraft components and equipment that are exposed to extreme aerospace environments.
How to use threadlocker?
The application of threadlocker sealant is simple—the liquid or paste formula is applied directly to clean, grease-free threaded components. Threadlockers typically have a rapid cure time, meaning that within minutes, the sealant hardens to create a strong, reliable seal.
What are some of the threadlocker types?
Threadlocker is available in a variety of strengths. High-strength threadlockers can be used to create permanent bonds. Low-strength threadlocker sealants can be used in applications where fasteners need to be easily disassembled with standard hand tools for regular servicing tasks.
