A wide variety of products to choose from
Pre-Applied Thread Locking
Microencapsulated adhesives that activate during assembly and cure to a tough polymer — outstanding resistance to vibration loosening across appliances, automotive, and industrial assemblies.
Pre-Applied Thread Sealing
Permanent seals on tapered and parallel threads. Instant gas and fluid containment from first turn — yet still allowing field disassembly when service is needed.
Nylon Patch · Thread Masking · Other Solutions
Bradley Nylon Patch for vibration resistance and reusability, plus thread masking on Weld studs and Weld nuts, and other unique products and solutions. Full portfolio coverage for engineering teams that need one source.
