We have been blogging the last couple months about our new product line Vibra-tite.  Vibra-TITE is one of the world’s market leaders in anaerobics, cyanoacrylates, epoxies and ultra-violet technologies.  I am getting a lot of question from our loyal customers about Vibra-tite Threadlockers.  The most common question is “How do Threadlockers Work”?

Threadlockers are liquid polymers that you brush on the threads of a bolt of screw before you tighten the bolt or screw the fastener into place. The polymer seeps into gaps and microscopic holes and pits in the metal around the threads and thread paths. The polymer sets and hardens, sealing the threads into place and preventing vibration from loosening the fastener.  The polymer only cures in the absence of air, making cleaning up spills easy. The wet threadlocker on the threads also lubricates the fastener when it’s being screwed in. This makes torquing the bolt or screw easier and may even make it easier to set the screw.

Also I am asked, “Whey is the bottle only half full”?
ThreadLockers are Anaerobic Products, which means that they set up in the absence of air. The bottles must have maximum air space to prevent them from setting up.

For any more questions on thread lockers, please contact us at JD Industrial Supply.
