Description:

Bostik Born2BondTM Threadlocking anaerobic adhesives provide single-component, one-stop solutions for all threadlocking requirements, including preventive maintenance. Eliminating the cost and inconvenience of holding extensive inventory, these liquid adhesives fill and seal all voids to achieve a cohesive connection of metal parts that remains fixed even when subjected to extreme vibrations, temperatures or chemical substances.

TA-43 is a general purpose medium strength anaerobic adhesive designed to lock and seal threaded fasteners which require normal disassembly with standard hand tools. Once cured the product prevents leakage and/or loosening of parts from vibration and shock.

This product is acceptable as a thread locking compound in and around food processing areas according to NSF S6 (Registration No.163871).
