Assembling cylindrical parts with adhesives requires the most sophisticated bonding technology. Loctite, the pioneer of anaerobic adhesives, has applied this technology to create retaining and securing compounds that increase the shear strength of cylindrical, metal assemblies. Loctite retaining products solve common problems of loose bearings on shafts, worn housings and fretting corrosion.

Applied as a liquid, they form a 100% contact between mating metal surfaces eliminating the need for expensive replacement parts, time consuming machining or the use of mechanical methods.
