High-strength anaerobic threadlocker for studs and bolts that must not vibrate loose. Cures without air between metal threads; the red grade is permanent and needs heat to break.
What this is
Two opposite jobs — one stops a thread vibrating loose, the other stops it seizing solid. Used on: nuts, bolts, studs and high-temperature fasteners.

Worth knowing. Red on a bolt you will need to undo is the expensive mistake in this category — it usually means heat, and sometimes it means drilling. If in doubt, blue.

Specification
- What it is
- Anaerobic locking compounds in medium and high strength, and nickel anti-seize compound for hot or dissimilar-metal threads.
- Who buys it
- Workshops, plant maintenance, generator and pump servicing, and anyone reassembling a fastener that has to stay put — or has to come apart again next service.
- Made of
- Anaerobic methacrylate for the threadlockers; a nickel-and-graphite solid lubricant in a petroleum carrier for the anti-seize.
- How it works
- An anaerobic threadlocker cures in the ABSENCE of air, once the joint is closed, which is why it stays liquid in the bottle and sets in the thread. Anti-seize does not cure at all — it leaves a solid-lubricant film between the threads so they cannot cold-weld together.
- Blue or red
- Blue is medium strength, rated for fasteners 1/4 to 3/4 inch (6 to 20 mm), locks against vibration and still comes apart with hand tools. Red is high strength, for heavy-duty fasteners 3/8 to 1 inch (10 to 25 mm), studs and press fits, and is effectively permanent — removal means heat.
- Where it is the wrong choice
- Red threadlocker on a fastener you will need to remove again is the commonest mistake in this range, and the fix is a torch. With anti-seize, follow the figure in the equipment manufacturer's manual rather than a rule of thumb. Permatex's own data sheet for this nickel anti-seize says to reassemble using normal torque values, while many fastener standards publish a reduced figure for a lubricated thread — the two disagree, so the equipment manual decides.
- Brands
- Permatex.
- Genuine stock
- Genuine Permatex stock, held at our own warehouse rather than drop-shipped. What you order is what is on the shelf, and batch and shelf life are confirmed on request.
- Storage
- Cool and out of the sun. A UAE store room in August will take months off the shelf life of anything on this list.
- Delivery
- All 7 Emirates from our own yard. Sharjah and the northern emirates are usually same day on stocked lines; the rest of the country is one to three working days.
- Trade and volume
- Volume pricing above trade quantities for workshops, fleets, facilities contractors and car wash operators. Send the whole list rather than one line and we will price the package instead of the item.
