This standard specifies an anaerobic polymedsable compound which polymerises upon the exclusion of oxygen and activation by a metal surface with a torque strength of 10 Nm and a viscosity of 125 mm2s 1.
The standard is one of a series where the compounds have been graded by consideration of their torque strength and viscosities,
General applications of these materials include locking and sealing threaded fasteners; other uses include assembling slip-fitted parts.
