Retaining Compounds

Kemtite Anaerobic Retaining Compounds are designed to increase shear strength on non-threaded, cylindrical metal assemblies. The liquid anaerobic material fills voids between close fitting metal assemblies. It cures to a toughened thermoset-plastic which creates a solid one-piece assembly. Retaining compounds seal joints against leakage and prevent corrosion and seizure. These materials have gained wide acceptance as standard method for assembling press-fit and slip-fitted parts.

General Purpose

Kemtite RT30

The product performs on aluminium, steel, plated, stainless steel, and special alloy parts. Can be used where lubricity is needed to press fit parts or to create an air-tight seal on cylindrical assemblies. This product cures rapidly on all metal surfaces. Replaces press fit assemblies and keyways. Used on gearbox bolts / drive shaft, bearing applications.

High Strength

Kemtite RT38

A high strength, room curing anaerobic retaining compound that resists axial and radial loading.

High Strength – Slip Fit

Kemtite RT41

A high strength, high viscosity, anaerobic retaining compound used for bonding rigid assemblies of all types. This material can be used effectively to increase the strength of most mechanical assemblies. Locks keys and splines. Eliminates backlash in worn assemblies. Locks bearings in place, preventing spin out. Bonds rotor to shaft in low horsepower motors. Locks bushings and sleeves in housings.

High Temperature – Large Gap

Kemtite RT67

A high temperature, high strength, large gap filling anaerobic retaining compound designed for metal cylindrical assembly applications. Exhibits excellent temperature and solvent resistant. The product performs on aluminium, steel, plated, stainless steel, and special alloy parts. Locks shaft and hubs together for gears, bearing, bushings. Bonds pins, adaptors, plugs.

Impact Resistant

Kemtite RT46

A quick fixturing high strength flexible, anaerobic retaining compound designed to bond metal cylindrical assemblies. Exhibits excellent temperature and solvent resistant. The product performs on aluminium, steel, plated, stainless steel, and special alloy parts. Locks shaft and hubs together for gears, bearing, bushings. Bonds pins, adaptors, plugs.

Two bottles of Kent Vibra-TITE 546 retaining compounds, one 250ml and one 50ml, labeled as impact resistant.

Rapid Curing

Kemtite RT48

A medium viscosity, quick curing, high strength anaerobic retaining compound designed for tight-clearance, and slip-fit metal applications. Exhibits excellent temperature and solvent resistant.

The product performs on aluminium, steel, plated, stainless steel, special alloy parts. Locks shaft and hubs together for gears, bearing, bushings. Bonds pins, adaptors, plugs.
