Retaining compounds have found wide acceptance as a standard method for assembling press- and slip-fitted parts. Retaining compounds, an anaerobic adhesive, fills the “inner space” between components and cures to form a strong precision assembly. Other anaerobic products offered by Henkel include gasket sealants / flange sealants, thread sealants and threadlockers.

Find the right Retaining Compound to meet your application needs:

       General Purpose, Medium Strength Retaining Compounds
       High Temperature Retaining Compounds
       Retaining Compounds for Close-Fitting Parts
       Retaining Compounds for Loose-Fitting Parts
       Retaining Compounds for Machinery Repair

Retaining Compound Benefits

• Loctite retaining compounds provide a 100% seal, preventing any fretting corrosion from shock and vibration once the joint is sealed.
• The hardened retaining compound eliminates the costly risk of fatigue cracking, which can lead to machinery downtime.
• The easier assembly of slip fits reduces the number of rejects due to distortion and galling, saving money while improving assembly performance.
• Since assembly-induced stresses are absent from slip fit designs, the retaining compound improves fatigue life and reduces field failures.
• Increase the sheer strength of cylindrical, non-threaded assemblies.
• An industry standard for assembling press-and-slip fitted parts.
• Fill the "inner space" between components and cure to form a strong precision assembly.
• Formulated in a variety of viscosoties, gap fills, flexibility and strength characteristics.
• Can be applied with automated process equipment or dispensed manually.

Typical Applications for Retaining Compounds

Typical applications include locating pins in radiator assemblies, sleeves into pump housings and bearings in auto transmissions.
