Permatex® Threadlockers Playing Important Role In Industrial Maintenance Marketplace
HARTFORD, CT – The complete Permatex® line of high performance liquid anaerobic threadlockers is providing maintenance professionals with a more cost effective alternative to other liquid threadlockers and to conventional fastening methods used in today's industrial equipment. The quality of Permatex threadlockers, combined with their application reliability and up to 15% cost savings compared to the market leader, have made them an attractive, high value item found in maintenance tool boxes across multiple industries.
Threadlockers are recognized as the most reliable way to lock and seal threaded fasteners of all shapes and sizes, either before or after assembly. They are superior to conventional lock washers, nylon inserts and other mechanical devices, because they secure the entire fastener assembly against loosening from shock and vibration. Threadlockers also prevent rust and corrosion, and are available in a variety of strengths and temperature ratings.
Permatex recently introduced one of the industry's more innovative threadlockers to its product line, Threadlocker Gel with the patented Gel Twist™ pinpoint applicator. The applicator makes it easy to apply the threadlocking gel precisely where you want it, eliminating drips and runs, reducing waste and allowing for easy use in vertical and hard to reach applications, including blind holes.
New Gel Twist is just one of a broad line of threadlockers offered by Permatex for use in virtually any fastening application throughout the industrial marketplace. The products now come in low, medium and high strength versions and cover a wide range of temperature environments. Low strength threadlockers, for example, are perfect for fasteners under ¼" (6mm). They allow for occasional fastener adjustment and make removal easy using simple hand tools. Medium strength threadlockers are ideal for all nut and bolt applications ¼" to ¾" (6mm to 20mm) and eliminate

the need to stock expensive lock nuts and lock washers. High strength threadlockers can be used for heavy-duty applications, as well as for creating a permanent lock for fasteners up to 1" and greater (25 mm+) prior to equipment assembly. The high strength line of threadlockers is excellent for use in extreme chemical and other harsh environments.
"Our success comes primarily from the instant recognition of the Permatex brand and what it stands for," says Jase Doane, Industrial Marketing Manager at Permatex. "Our threadlockers offer the highest level of dependability, reliability and performance, while at the same time providing the industrial marketplace an opportunity for much needed cost savings on their adhesive purchases."
Bolts, studs, set screws and other threaded fasteners are the simple, but often overlooked backbone of what keeps industrial equipment together and functioning properly. While those in charge of maintenance are often preoccupied with the more complicated and expensive components and assemblies that make up their machines, simple fasteners many times loosen up and become the leading cause of catastrophic failure in industrial equipment. Ensuring that they are secured using the right threadlocker saves time, money, resources and equipment downtime, and is recognized as an efficient and cost effective alternative to mechanical locking devices.
Since 1909, Permatex has provided the industry with a comprehensive line of reliable maintenance products for on-the-job solutions. It offers a wide range of highly versatile threadlocking, gasketing and sealing compounds, multi-purpose lubricants, time-saving cleaning compounds, fast-acting adhesives, waterless hand cleaners and specialty maintenance products under a variety of well-recognized brand names such as Permatex®, Permatex® Ultra Brand Silicones, Gel Twist™ Threadlockers, Form-A-Gasket®, Form-A-Seal®, the Right Stuff®, Fast Orange® and Trounce®.
