Anaerobically Curable Compositions

Abstract

An anaerobically curable composition comprising: (a) a non-encapsulated liquid anaerobically curable monomer forming a liquid phase; (b) a solid component dispersed as a solid phase within the liquid phase formed by the non-encapsulated liquid anaerobically curable monomer; wherein the solid component has (meth)acrylate functionality and: (i) is in particulate form with the particles having a particle size in the range from about 80 μm to about 300 μm; and (ii) has a melting temperature of from about 50° C. to about 90° C.; and (c) a curing component for curing the anaerobically curable composition within the liquid phase. The anaerobically curable composition can easily be coated onto substrates such as threaded fasteners or other parts in its flowable form and then converted to anaerobically curable composition in solid form.
