Retaining Compounds for Metals
Available32 products
Retaining compounds fill the space between unthreaded metal parts to hold them in place and dampen vibration. They are anaerobic, which means they remain fluid until they fill the empty space between metal surfaces and then cure in the absence of air, allowing them to seep into small crevices before bonding. Retaining compounds help reduce friction between tight fitting parts to evenly distribute load, reduce wear, and prevent the production of small particles caused by abrasion. They are often used in automotive or heavy machinery applications to hold bearings inside their housing or mount gears and pulleys onto shafts.
Loose-Fitting Parts Retaining Compounds
These retaining compounds have a thick consistency for filling gaps in loose-fitting metal parts. They are often used to repair a press fit assembly or reinforce the seating of mechanical components, avoiding the need to remachine parts.

Close-Fitting Parts Retaining Compounds
These retaining compounds have a thin consistency for filling gaps in close-fitting metal parts. They are designed for bonding precision machined cylindrical components such as a rotor on a shaft.

High-Strength Retaining Compounds
These high-strength retaining compounds have high shear strength to prevent loosening in high-vibration applications. They bond rotors to shafts and increase the strength of slip fit assemblies.

Extended Working Time Retaining Compounds
The extended working time of these retaining compounds allows for more adjustments and precise positioning of parts. They cure at a slow rate and are useful for bonding machined cylindrical components with large diameters.

Easy-to-Disassemble Retaining Compounds
These easy-to-disassemble retaining compounds have a low bonding strength to support frequent dismantling of assemblies. They are useful in applications where regular servicing of components is needed such as inspecting and re-lubricating bearings.

No-Drip Retaining Compounds
No-drip retaining compounds spread evenly and are useful on parts where a fluid compound may drip, run off, or is difficult to apply. They are a semi-solid, wax-like stick in a twist-up tube that apply directly to metal components.
