      The front cover of the whitepaper

      Transport of fluid media is an important part in many aspects of our lives and is an essential part in many technologies and industrial processes. Whether it is drinking water or natural gas travelling to our homes, power transmission from hydraulic/pneumatic systems or in heat transfer systems, many pipe or hose connections are made. Moving these fluids from one place to another effectively passing through connections without leaks has always presented a challenge to the system designer.

      This paper reviews the traditional sealing methods and describes the general advantages of anaerobic adhesives.  Data is presented showing the performance of anaerobic sealants in high pressure systems (>10,000psi) and describes recent developments to improve the reliability on oily surfaces and thermal cycling at elevated temperatures.

      Key insights
      • Thread types and traditional sealing methods
      • Use of anaerobic thread sealants
      • Advancements in performance of thread sealants
