Adhesives
Cyanoacrylate & anaerobic
Fast cyanoacrylates fixture small close-fitting parts, while anaerobics cure between metal surfaces without air.
In simple terms
Fast cyanoacrylates fixture small close-fitting parts, while anaerobics cure between metal surfaces without air.
Best for
Rapid fixturing, small components, thread locking and retaining cylindrical metal parts.
Watch out for
Limited gap filling and peel resistance for cyanoacrylates; anaerobics generally require active metal interfaces and are not a default composite structural adhesive.
Typical applications
Assembly aids, small inserts, fasteners, fittings and secondary attachments.
