Temperature effects anaerobic adhesives

These anaerobic adhesives fill all surface irregularities and tolerance gaps and effectively seal clearances up to 0.76 mm. They can be applied by high-speed applications in moving production lines. The cured film has excellent chemical resistance to most liquids and gases within an operating temperature range of -54°C to 232°C. 

Figure 2.19 Effect of temperature on the shear strength of conventional and highly cross-linked anaerobic adhesives. The poorer performance of the conventional version as measured on a standard collar and pin assembly (MoD specification DTD 5628) is quite marked.

Increasing the temperature of components assembled with an anaerobic adhesive has three different and quite distinct effects ...
