About Structural Adhesives

Gasket Maker Sealants

These gasket makers come in a tube.

Gasket Maker Sealants in Cartridges

Use cartridges with a standard caulk gun for quick and easy dispensing.

Gasket Maker Sealants in Syringes

Push the plunger to precisely dispense small amounts.

Gasket Maker Sealant Sticks

All the benefits of a gasket maker in a no-drip form.

Flexible Gasket Maker Sealants

These gasket makers come in a tube.

Flexible Gasket Maker Sealants in Cartridges

Use cartridges with a standard caulk gun for quick and easy dispensing.

Gasketing Adhesive Sticks

All the benefits of gasketing adhesive in a no-drip form.

Thread Sealants

These sealants come in bottles, cans, and tubes so you can choose the quantity that covers your application.

Thread Sealants with PTFE

These sealants come in bottles, cans, and tubes so you can choose the quantity that covers your application.

Drip-Free Thread Sealants with PTFE

Apply this thread sealant stick without a mess.

Thread Sealants for Hydraulic
and Compressed Air Systems

Formulated for high lubricity, these sealants allow easy assembly of finely threaded hydraulic and compressed air system components. They're also free of fillers that could contaminate system media.

Thread Sealants for Refrigeration Systems

For use in refrigeration systems and applications exposed to strong chemicals, these sealants have excellent solvent resistance.

Threadlockers

High-Temperature Threadlockers

Keep threaded fasteners from loosening at temperatures up to 450° F.

Quick-Set Threadlockers

These threadlockers develop usable strength within one hour. Because they harden quickly on most metals, they don't require a primer.

Threadlockers

Prevent threaded fasteners from loosening due to shock and vibration.

Threadlockers for Drinking Water

These threadlockers meet NSF/ANSI 61 for drinking water.

Adjustable Threadlockers

Use these threadlockers on fasteners that require occasional fine-tuning, such as set screws.

Extreme-Temperature Threadlockers

Secure threaded fasteners at temperature extremes—from -300° F to 2100° F.

Heavy Duty Threadlockers

Withstand demanding, high-vibration applications such as motor and pump housings with these threadlockers.

Lubricating Threadlockers

These low-friction threadlockers harden slowly, allowing ample time to smoothly adjust multiple large bolts for even clamping.

Threadlockers for Plastic Fasteners

Specially formulated for plastics, these threadlockers secure nylon, PTFE, and other plastic threaded fasteners.

Reusable Threadlockers

These threadlockers hold securely but stay flexible, so fasteners can be adjusted, removed, or reused.

Threadlocker Tape

Wrap this no-mess tape around threaded fasteners up to 30 days before installation.

High-Temperature Threadlocker Paste

This thick paste withstands temperatures up to 650 °F.

Threadlocker Paste

Paste threadlockers are easy to apply and won't drip, even from overhead fasteners.

Threadlocker Gel

This gel clings to fasteners to prevent drips.

Wicking Threadlockers

Apply these threadlockers on fasteners that are already installed—their thin consistency allows them to flow into small gaps.

Adjustable Wicking Threadlockers

Use these threadlockers for threaded fasteners that require occasional fine-tuning, such as set screws.

High-Temperature Wicking Threadlockers

These threadlockers withstand temperatures up to 450° F.

Retaining Compounds

Retaining Compounds for Oily Close-Fitting Parts

Even on oily surfaces, these retaining compounds keep their hold.

Retaining Compounds for Close-Fitting Parts

Fill gaps up to 0.01" to secure unthreaded cylindrical metal parts such as shafts, bearings, and press-fit assemblies.

Retaining Compounds for Oily Loose-Fitting Parts

Even on oily surfaces, these retaining compounds keep their hold.

Retaining Compounds for Loose-Fitting Parts

Fill gaps up to 0.02" to secure worn unthreaded cylindrical metal parts such as shafts, bearings, and press-fit assemblies.
