FAQ
All adhesives are compatible with metal substrates although bond strength and durability will vary depending on the technology selected. Anaerobic adhesives may cause stress-cracking in some sensitive polymers and therefore should generally be avoided on plastic parts. Consult Henkel technical teams for further advice as needed.
Care must be taken when using adhesives to seal against pure oxygen systems. LOCTITE® 577 and LOCTITE® 55 have BAM approval and can be considered for such applications.
The standard continuous operating temperature range for LOCTITE® anaerobic adhesives is -55˚C to +150˚C.
Depending on the specific application requirements, high-performance grades are also available offering increased temperature resistance. Please consult with the Henkel technical team for availability and grade selection.
Yes, Henkel's anaerobic adhesives become highly resistant thermoset polymers once cured, making them suitable for a vast number of applications. Many of our silicone adhesives offer excellent resistance to standard media like water/glycol, amongst other solutions. Consult Henkel's online product resources or contact our technical teams for further information.
Henkel has a number of products available with varying levels of NSF® or WRAS® approval, amongst others. Please contact the Henkel sales or technical teams with your requirements.
All necessary H&S measures and PPE (personal protection equipment) requirements can be found on the product material safety data sheet, all of which are available via our website.
