ADHESIVE

Anabond

Anabond is one of India's leading manufacturers of engineering adhesives and sealants, widely used in industrial maintenance, automotive assembly, and pneumatic systems. They specialize in anaerobic adhesives (similar to Loctite) and RTV silicone sealants.

1. Anabond Anaerobic Threadlockers

These are used to lock and seal threaded fasteners, preventing loosening due to vibration and leakage through the threads.

Product	Color	Strength	Technical Specifications	Primary Use
Anabond 111	Purple	Low	Viscosity: 800–1200 cP; Temp: -50°C to 150°C	Small fasteners, adjustment screws.
Anabond 112	Blue	Medium	Breakaway Torque: 12–25 Nm; Temp: up to 150°C	General machine bolts, removable.
Anabond 113	Red	High	Breakaway Torque: 25–40 Nm; Permanent bond	Heavy-duty studs, engine mounts.

2. Anabond RTV Silicone Sealants (Gasket Makers)

"RTV" stands for Room Temperature Vulcanizing. These silicones are highly effective for sealing flanges and valve housings.

Anabond 666 (Clear/White/Black): * Type: Acetoxy cure.
- Temp Resistance: -50°C to 200°C.
- Specs: Tensile strength of 2.0 MPa; Elongation ~400%.
- Use: General purpose sealing in non-corrosive environments.
Anabond 673 (Red):
- Type: High-Temperature resistant.
- Temp Resistance: Up to 300°C (intermittent).
- Use: Ideal for high-heat industrial machinery and steam pipe insulation.

3. Anabond Pipe Sealants

Specifically designed for threaded pipe joints in pneumatic and hydraulic systems.

Anabond 411: A medium-strength pipe sealant with PTFE.
- Technical Specs: Instant seal up to 5 bar; Full seal up to 350 bar (after 24 hours).
- Advantage: It does not shred like Teflon tape, preventing the clogging of sensitive pneumatic solenoid valves.

4. Technical Performance Characteristics

Cure Speed: Anaerobic products (Threadlockers) achieve fixture strength in 15–30 minutes on steel but require longer for plated or inactive metals (like Stainless Steel).
Gap Filling: Capable of filling gaps from 0.05 mm to 0.50 mm depending on the viscosity of the specific grade.
Chemical Resistance: Once cured, Anabond products are highly resistant to water, industrial oils, glycol, and various gases used in pneumatic lines.

Maintenance Tip for Your Work:

When using Anabond on Stainless Steel (SS) pipes or fittings, the cure time will be slower than on Mild Steel (MS). Using an Anabond Activator can speed up the bonding process in these cases.
