Industrial Maintenance and Repair

Loosen fasteners

Tighten your operation. Eliminate loosening.

Threadlockers lock and seal your threaded assemblies, protecting against vibration, corrosion and galling. But depending on your need, you have to choose the right Threadlocker and consider strength, form and removability. Which one will you need? LOCTITE^® makes your choice easy.

Cylindrical components

Retaining compounds secure bearings, keyways and cylindrical parts into housings or onto shafts, forming strong assemblies. LOCTITE^® retaining compounds offer an effective and economical method to eliminate challenges like loosening, corrosion, backlash and wearing by unitizing the assembly and providing uniform stress distribution.

Seizure of parts

Anti-seize lubricants are used in harsh environments to keep assemblies from seizing. They also protect against rust, corrosion and galling even in extreme temperature conditions. LOCTITE^® anti-seize lubricants are designed to protect your equipment from a wide range of temperatures, which allows for a wide range of applications. To choose the right anti-seize lubricant, choose the conditions in which your equipment operates, from -20°F to 2400°F. LOCTITE^® METAL-FREE FORMULATIONS – A growing concern for all types of industries is the dispersal of “heavy” metals like lead, nickel, zinc and others, into the environment. Metal-free formulations offer the same performance as traditional products without heavy metals.

Fittings

Leaks cause downtime. Liquid thread sealants prevent them.

Thread sealants fill the space between threaded parts and provide an instant, low pressure seal that prevents fluid and gas leaks which can cause costly downtime. LOCTITE^® has a variety of thread sealants, and the one you need will depend on your system material and thread type.

Flanges

To provide a leak-free seal over a long period of time, gaskets must fill voids and be resistant to liquids and/or gases, while withstanding the operating temperatures and pressures to which they are subjected. With liquid gaskets: When assembled, all surface imperfections are filled, adding structural stiffness and eliminating micromovement and slipping. They do not shrink, crack or suffer from relaxation. LOCTITE^® offers a range of gasketing products designed for any flange type, gap size or material.

Rebuild & Extend equipment life (corrosion, abrasion, worn parts)

Without wear coatings, abrasion and corrosion can damage components.

Wear prevention solutions provide a sacrificial coating on new or worn surfaces, to provide wear and impact resistance and extend the life of parts. LOCTITE^® offers a range of wear prevention solutions for a range of applications.

Repair shafts and other steel, aluminum or rubber components.

Without rebuilding: Damaged components reduce process efficiency, add excess stress to equipment, increase safety hazards and most importantly, add costs. With rebuilding: Equipment is repaired quickly on-site, component integrity and seals are restored, process efficiencies are enhanced, and costs are minimized through part and component salvage. Choose a rebuild product based on substrate type and form of solution desired. LOCTITE^® offers a range of rebuilding solutions from kneadable to flowable.

Cleaners & primers

Clean parts, hands and mechanical equipment.

LOCTITE^® cleaners and degreasers provide highly effective water- and solvent-based cleaning of components, worktops, floors, parts and hands. The major factors to consider are drying time, residue, odor and substrate Compatibility.
