A brief summary of the main products are listed below, however, thread locking or sealing products are available for most applications.

Pre-Applied Technologies Ltd has the facility for the automatic application of
PATlok Nylon 11 patch and Loctite Dri-Loc® and Loctite Dri-Seal® products.

How does it work?

The most effective way of stopping connections from coming loose is to prevent movement in all directions. It is also better to use a thread locking system added before assembly when account has to be taken of other requirements such as reduced costs, improved production, improved quality and functionality. The thread locking system is activated during assembly and fills the space between the threads, thus combating movement in the thread.
