Thread lockers by Hernon

Thread Lockers, sometimes called thread locking fluid, bolt locker, stud lock or in our case Nuts N’ Bolts are single component adhesives that cure in the absence of air (anaerobic). Our full range of Hernon Thread lockers are shown below. If you have a thread then we have the adhesive to suit.

Most of the below are sized in 10ml bottles boxed per 10, 50ml bottles again boxed per 10, 250ml bottles boxed per 4 or you can purchase single 1 Litre bottles. There are some exceptions on sizes such as 128 Blue being available in only 10 x 20g bottles or 1 x 500g bottle. 410 Blue, 418 Blue, 419 Purple, 424 Green and 433 Amber are not available in 10ml bottles. There is an additional size of 1ml tubes available per 100 for 423 blue and 427 Red please contact us direct for a quotation. You will be surprised at our prices we are better priced within the market place against our opposition and as you can see below we have the all important and in some cases necessary specifications required in todays industry.
