Withstands High Temperature, Eliminates Use of PTFE Tapes

Elgi Equipment is the largest manufacturer of industrial air compressors in India. They were using competitive anaerobic thread sealant to lock and seal the blackened steel threads to cast iron housing in the top block assembly. The competition thread sealant didn’t last high temperature operation conditions and failed. Customer also used ptfe tapes in addition to the sealant as a back-up. They still received inconsistent performance and complaints.

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.
