Threadlockers are anaerobic adhesives specifically designed to seal and lock threaded components in a mechanical assembly. Most threadlockers take at least 10 minutes to gain handling strength and approximately 24 hours to harden into a thermoset plastic and provide full strength (this process is called curing). However, the time may differ depending on the type and strength of the thread locker. Read on to know more about the cure time of different thread lockers and how you can reduce it.
