These adhesives remain liquid until isolated from oxygen in the presence of metal ion such as copper or iron. An accelerator is necessary if the subtrates are copper or iron free.
Anaerobically curing adhesives are thermosets and the resulting bonds hence high strength and high resistance to heat. Substrates joined by high strength anaerobically curing adhesives can only be detached at temperature between 300-400°C (572-752°F).
Typically used to augment the seal or hold force mechanically joined assembly, anaerobic adhesives are used as thread-lockers, thread sealants, retaining materials are flange sealants.
These adhesives reduce inventories of components, decrease total manufacturing cost, enhance equipment reliability and minimize aftermarket breakdown.
