Anaerobic gasket offers higher vibration tolerance

ThreeBond has announced the general release of its TB1133E next generation anaerobic gasket. Building on the benefit of anaerobics to be dispensed and then permit component placement at leisure, TB1133E offers enhanced vibration tolerance and user-friendly characteristics. This enables greater confidence in established applications such as gearboxes and cam covers, while opening up uses in sealing of complex areas. In particular, it is screen printable and so offers significant time savings against robotic dispensing on intricate 2D shapes proving especially valuable where elimination of potential oil gallery blockage is paramount.
