Thread lock (threadlock), also called a threadlocker, is a specialised adhesive formulated to create strong bonds between fasteners’ threads. These anaerobic adhesives are applied to a range of threaded fasteners to prevent them from loosening and vibrations by filling the small gaps between threads. A thread lock comes in different viscosities, strengths, colours, and chemical compositions, each suitable for particular application needs. Thread-locking fluids are easy to apply, flow deeply into threads’ grooves and efficiently dry and harden. Our popular thread lock brands include Loctite thread lock, Rocol thread lock, and Jelt thread lock available in various strengths and packages.
Why Buy Threadlocking Adhesives?
Purchasing threadlockers offers numerous advantages. They are crucial for increased equipment reliability, reduced maintenance costs associated with loose fasteners and fixings, and enhanced safety by preventing unexpected disassembly. Threadlock also benefits users in terms of easy application, versatility, resistance features, and availability in various forms.

We offer a range of threadlock products in the form of gels, liquid, wax, and pastes in different package sizes. Our products come in convenient 10ml bottles for small jobs to larger industrial capacities (1L) for high-volume users packed in tubes, tins, and cartridges. The colour of the thread locker fluid itself typically corresponds to its strength (purple for low, blue for medium, orange for medium-high, and red/green for high). Based on the strengths we offer:
- Low strength thread lock for smaller fasteners.
- Medium strength thread lock, a versatile solution option for most general-purpose fastening.
- Medium-high strength thread lock for stronger bonding.
- High strength thread lock for heavy-duty permanent or semi-permanent fastener assembly.
