Anaerobic threadsealing adhesives seal and lock threaded pipe joints & fittings against pressure of gas, air, water, oils, hydrocarbons and many chemicals.They replace PTFE tape and hemp and come in various grades to suit a wide range of industry applications.
Simply put, a Thread sealant prevents leakage of gases and liquids from pipe joints. Besides creating fluid-tight seals, a pipe thread sealant also lubricates the threads, making assembly quicker and easier.

Loxeal anaerobic thread sealant are high performing chemical-based thread and pipe joint compounds that cure to form a tough, non-soluble, thermoset seal between thread flanks regardless of torque applied. The seal formed by Loxeal anaerobic thread sealant work in both static and dynamic applications involving high levels of vibration and impact forces. Yet, they are easy to disassemble and seal up to burst pressure in most applications.
Being anaerobic, the Loxeal remain in liquid form until it is isolated from oxygen and metal ions. As soon as the Loxeal is applied on fitting (contact with metal is formed) and fitting is assembled (oxygen is excluded), product curing starts and seal strength starts developing.
Pipe joints are designed to be disassembled for service or maintenance. Due to this inherent design requirement every thread joint has a spiral gap at the joint interface of male and female which must be filled and packed by another suitable material to form a leak free joint.
Because Loxeal Thread Sealants are in liquid form, they fill these spiral gaps and the surface imperfections between the thread flanks perfectly to form a 100% true surface to surface contact thereby forming a barrier for fluid leak.
After curing Loxeal Thread Sealant converts itself into a tough, thermoset plastic that cannot be melted, softened or dissolved. This tough barrier or seal provides a life time of seal under both static and dynamic conditions. In today’s world leakage is not acceptable in any industrial or consumer setting and Loxeal Anaerobic Thread Sealants ensure that everytime.
A Loxeal Thread Sealant create 100% surface to surface contact between thread flanks and form a true barrier that operates under the most extreme of operating environments.
But if a picture speaks a thousand words, two pictures make it even better. Not only does Loxeal Thread Sealant form the most reliable seal, it enhances aesthetics and unitizes assembled joints.
In today’s fast paced working environment, water or oil leakage from machines or equipment can create serious production bottlenecks and safety issues. Every end user needs a trouble free system and that’s why Loxeal Thread Sealant are the top choice for most professionals. They offer many unmatched advantages over both traditional and other contemporary sealing methods. Some of them are:
Easy assembly: Due to high lubricating property, Loxeal Thread Sealants aid in easy assembly of pipes and fittings by reducing the friction.
High Quality Seal: Seal formed by Loxeal Thread Sealant are highly reliable even under the most extreme environments and maintain the seal up to the burst pressure of most piping system. Unlike a PTFE tape or yielding elastomer (O-ring) Loxeal Thread Sealant work in both Static and Dynamic applications.
Torque Independent: Seal formed by Loxeal anaerobic Thread Sealant are effective even if pipe fitting is not torqued properly.
Non Contamination: Loxeal Anaerobic Thread Sealant do not contaminate the fluid. Unlike PTFE tape that can clog or contaminate the system due to shredding or tear during assembly, Loxeal Anaerobic Thread Sealant are totally contamination free.
Pipe Positioning: Unlike PTFE tape and other conventional seals, Loxeal Anaerobic Thread Sealant allows the fittings to be positioned in any direction and angle. This eliminates excessive joint stress or loose fittings.
Controlled Strength: Loxeal Anaerobic Thread Sealant are available in various grades. They are formulated for easy disassembly with normal hand tools even after years of service. For permanent sealing, specific formulation is available too.
Cost: Loxeal Anaerobic Thread Sealant offers lowest application cost per joint over its lifetime Vs. any of the other pipe sealing methods.
Fluid Compatibility: Loxeal anaerobic Thread Sealant cure to form a thermoset plastic that resists most industrial fluids, gases and chemical compositions. Offers unmatched performance under aging.
Ease of application: Loxeal Anaerobic Thread Sealant are very easy to apply. One can apply manually on site or using an automatic dosing system in an online assembly setting. No special skill is needed to use Loxeal Anaerobic Thread Sealant.
Easy Clean up: Loxeal Anaerobic Thread Sealant do not cure outside the joint, hence the excess material is very easy to clean.
Wide operating Temperature: Loxeal anaerobic Thread Sealant operate successfully within the wide temperature range of (-50°C to 230°C)
In today’s world it is no longer acceptable for any machine or equipment to leak oil, water or gas. Hence, the selection of a thread sealant must be carefully done during the design stage, considering the many variable factors a pipe joint will undergo during its service life. Joints must remain leak free under the most extreme vibration, chemical attack, heat, and pressure.
