Follow the guide to select the correct Sonlok anaerobic adhesive.

The adhesives are broken down into four groups.

1 RETAINER Used for parts that slip together such as bearings in housings or on shafts.

2 THREADLOCK Used to prevent the loosening of threaded parts such as bolts and screws

3 GASKETING Used to seal between flat metal faces or to suplement existing gaskets

4 PIPE SEALING Used to lock and seal all forms of threaded pipes.

RETAINER : To select the correct grade you need to know:

1) The gap you are trying to fill

2 If the parts will need to be disassembled

3 The working tempertaure of the parts.

Gap	Permanent	Temperature	Garde to choose
Large gap up to 0.5mm	Yes	up to 150 deg C	3660 (Plus activator for faster cure)
Small gap <0.25mm	No	up to 150 deg C	3641
Small gap <0.25mm	Yes	up to 150 deg C	3638
Small <0.25mm	Yes	up to 175 deg C	3648
Very small gap <0.1mm	Yes	up to 150 deg C	3603

THREADLOCK : To select the correct grade you need to know:
1 How strong the joint should be
2 What size are the threads.

Thread size	Strength	Temperature	Grade to choose
Up to M12	Medium/High 10Nm	up to 150 deg C	3290 apply to preassembled parts
Up to M36	Low 6 Nm	up to 150 deg C	3222
Up to M36	Medium 20 Nm	up to 150 deg C	3243
Up to M 20	High 38 Nm	up to 150 deg C	3270

GASKETING: To select the correct grade you need to know:
1 The gap between the flanges
2 If an exisitng gasket is also to be used
3 The material of the flanges.

Gap	Existing gasket	Material	Grade to choose
Small	Yes	Any metal	3518
Up to 0.5mm	No	Any metal	3518
Up to 0.5mm	No	Cast iron and rigid steel	3574

PIPE SEALING : To select the correct grade you need to know:
1 The thread size.

Note: For use on metal threads only.

Thread size	Grade to choose
Fine (up to 17mm)	3542
Medium (Up to 50mm)	3564
Coarse (Up to 75mm)	3577
Coarse (Up to 75mm) Slow cure to allow adjustment	3572
