Locking agents

ThreeBond 1400 Series is a range of solvent-based thread locking agentsdesigned to prevent screws and threaded fasteners from loosening, leaking and corroding. Unlike anaerobic threadlockers, these products can be safely used on plastic components and remain ideal for small screws, precision assemblies and applications requiring easy disassembly.

Based on vinyl acetate resin technology, the 1400 Series combines excellent penetration, reliable locking performance and easy application. It is widely used in automotive, electronics, industrial equipment and general manufacturing where vibration resistance and tamper indication are required.

F.A.Q

01. What is the ThreeBond 1400 Series?

The ThreeBond 1400 Series is a range of solvent-based thread locking agents designed to prevent threaded fasteners from loosening due to vibration while also helping to reduce leakage and corrosion. The products are particularly suitable for small screws and plastic components.

02. What are thread locking agents used for?

Thread locking agents are applied to threaded fasteners to:

Prevent screw loosening
Reduce vibration-related failures
Help prevent leakage
Protect against corrosion
Provide tamper indication on assembled parts

03. What is the difference between the 1400 Series and anaerobic threadlockers?

Unlike anaerobic threadlockers, the 1400 Series uses a solvent-based vinyl acetate resin. It is especially suitable for plastic components and small screws, and can be applied after tightening thanks to its penetrating properties. Some grades can also replace low-strength anaerobic threadlockers in appropriate applications.

04. Can the 1400 Series be used on plastic components?

Yes. One of the main advantages of the ThreeBond 1400 Series is its compatibility with many plastic components, making it an excellent choice for electronic devices and precision assemblies.

05. Can the product be applied after tightening?

Yes. The low-viscosity formulation allows the adhesive to penetrate into the threads after assembly before the solvent evaporates and the locking film forms.

06. Are different viscosities available?

Yes. The range includes low, standard and high-viscosity grades, allowing users to select the most appropriate product according to the screw size and application.
