MXLOC® retainers give the strength you need

MXLOC® Retainers

Cartell threadlockers are marketed under the MXLOC® brand.  The range is presented in a wide varety of viscosities and strengths to suit all applications.  Cartell capabilities in formulating led to the development of bonding products for retaining applications once reserved for mechanical joining methods such as keyways, interference fits, or shrink fits.   The have been specifically designed for to increased contact areas enabling greater load carrying capacity - upto greater than 5 times that of traditional mechanical joining techniques.  

MXLOC® retaining compounds are used in the assembly of all coaxial components such as bearings, gears, shafts, bushes, pulleys, cylinder liners and rotors. They increase the load bearing characteristics of cylindrical joints, reducing assembly stresses, assembly costs and prevent corrosion.  The products have been formulated with the end user in mind.  The entire range makes use of the most advanced surface insensitive technology to allow for the use on the widest variety of substrates without the use of activators. 

The MXLOC® range of retainers are single component, solvent-free products that cure in the absense of air.  The products are designed for high performance applications and capable of withstanding high temperatures and are resistant to most of the widely used engineering fluids.  The table below detail the front line range although other more specilisted grades are available ON REQUEST.
