 How Our Threadlockers Work

Our threadlockers are anaerobic adhesives that cure in the absence of oxygen, forming a strong bond between opposing threads. This prevents loosening due to vibration, thermal expansion, or other external forces. The curing process is initiated when the fasteners are tightened, ensuring a reliable and durable connection.

Our Best Results:
By implementing our Pre-applied Thread Lock process with our manufacturing client - the failure rate has dropped and STAYED  AT 0%!! For nearly Four years they have NOT HAD A SINGLE failure per their metrics. Of course results vary but we've gotten drastic results:

Too Expensive?
Normally, the use of a similar Threadlock / Thread Seal would be out of the question for this clients needs, due to both cost and being almost un-necessarily effective for what they need. In other words, the benefits of application wouldn't outweigh the typical price.

However, our mix of Industry experience and Technology connection allows us to solve their failure problems and also fulfill their inventory at a net positive on costs! They now pay more for the finished parts but save enough cost in warranties to make it a gain.

PLUS, gain a priceless amount of Trust in reputation. 

PLUS, they've NEVER run out of Inventory.

PLUS, we'll answer their emails / calls quickly and show respect for our partnership.

We work on a selective basis with strategic partnerships so we can offer the best service, give the most attention and bring the most value to our partners. We're here for security and reliability in Fastener Inventory Fulfillment.
