Eliminates Shredding and Customer Complaints

A leading Indian OEM of electrical switchgear manufactures used PTFE tapes to seal the drain valve and plug threaded joints in their single-phase and three-phase electrical distribution transformers. However they received field complaints of leakage, shredding of PTFE tape & clogging.

Reduces Wastages and Improves Process

Maya Appliances is manufacturer of domestic food processors in India. In their processor jar assembly they used a 2-k epoxy to seal screw that was used to secure the drive coupling. Using a 2-k epoxy involved mixing both parts and was time consuming. The mixed epoxy also had limitations on pot life and resulted in wastages of mixed epoxy

Outperforms PTFE Tapes & Copper Washer
A leading manufacturer of CNC machines used PTFE tapes to seal the threaded joints at the oil filter inlet and outlet manifold. But the PTFE tapes shredded while assembling, some of these shreds get into the system and the customer was receiving field complaints of oil filter being blocked with shreds of PTFE tapes. Loctite 542 anaerobic thread sealant designed to seal fine threads was recommended for this application. It gave 100% sealing of threads - filling the thread imperfections and gaps and creating a leak proof joint thus creating additional savings in costs.
