Customer Saves on Warranty Claims

Essar Equipment is a manufacturer of air compressors in India. They were using competitive anaerobic threadlocker to lock and seal the threads of brass and Zinc coated MS end plugs in the tank assembly. The female threads had oil traces and the competition threadlocker didn’t perform consistently in presence of these traces. Customer also used ptfe tapes in addition to the threadlocker as a back-up. They still received sealing failures and did not get consistent performance. Additionally, the threadlocker spilled on to the joint area during assembly and peeled the pain just outsidethe joint – affecting the aesthetics. Many a time, the threadlocker was too strong to disassemble and while opening the plug the aliminium non-return valve (NRV) was damaged - needing replacement.

LTM India is a leading manufacturer of tyre processing machines in India. They used nylock nuts to lock the heavy M16 bolts on the pci machines. However, the ylock nuts loosened due to heavy vibrations and thermal cycling that the tyre machines are subjected to. The bolts at the bottom plates f the machine were not easily accessible for retorquing or inspection and once they lost clamp load hey easily loosened. LTM was receiving frequent customer complaints on this.
