Document covers the shortcomings of traditional gasketing methods including tapes, o-rings, sealing compounds, and cut paper gaskets.

These top causes of downtime can be prevented using Loctite® products in any manufacturing environment.

With controlled tolerances, there is no shimming effect and no need for re-torquing. Product fills all voids, reducing the need for a fine surface finish of flanges, and resists high pressure when fully cured.  Parts can be disassembled easily, even after extended service.

These top causes of downtime can be prevented using Loctite® products in any manufacturing environment.

Products bond non-threaded cylindrical metal assemblies and reduce the need for close tolerances. High and moderate strength products can carry high loads and eliminate fretting; 100% contact means that load and stress are distributed evenly over the joint. Products fill all voids to prevent corrosion.
