Abstract

Anaerobic sealant lubricant compositions and uses are disclosed. The anaerobic sealant lubricant compositions cure anaerobically but have lubricity for easy disassembly, making the compositions well suited for fasteners and threaded components.

Claims (15)

1. An anaerobic sealant lubricant composition comprising:

a) about 5 to 20 wt % of an acrylate selected from the group consisting of polyethylene glycol di(meth)acrylates, tetrahydrofuran(meth)acrylates and di(meth)acrylates, hydroxypropyl(meth)acrylate, hexanediol di(meth)acrylate, trimethylol propane tri(meth)acrylate, diethylene glycol dimethacrylate, triethylene glycol dimethacrylate, tetraethylene glycol dimethacrylate, dipropylene glycol dimethacrylate, di-(pentamethylene glycol) dimethacrylate, tetraethylene diglycol diacrylate, diglycerol tetramethacrylate, tetramethylene dimethacrylate, ethylene dimethacrylate, neopentyl glycol diacrylate, trimethylol propane triacrylate, ethoxylated bisphenol-A (meth)acrylate, ethoxylated bisphenol-F (meth)acrylate, and mixtures thereof;

b) about 5 to about 40 wt % of a plasticizer selected from the group consisting of tetraethylene glycol dioctanoate, trimelliates, maleates, organophosphates, glycol, polyether, and mixtures thereof;

c) about 18 to about 70 wt % of a lubricant, selected from the group consisting of graphite, polytetrafluoroethylene, polyethylene, and mixtures thereof,

d) about 0.2 to about 10 wt % of a curing agent; and

e) about 2 to about 40 wt % of a rheology modifier; and

wherein the ratio of the acrylate to the plasticizer ranges from about 1:1 to about 1:4

wherein the composition has a lubricity value of 0.2 K-factor or less as measured by ASTM D5648-01; and

wherein the composition has a breakaway torque strength of about 1 to about 3 Nm as measured by ASTM D5649 after aging at room temperature cure for two weeks.

2. The anaerobic sealant lubricant composition of claim 1 , wherein the plasticizer is a mixture of tetraethylene glycol dioctanoate and organophosphates.

3. The anaerobic sealant lubricant composition of claim 1 , wherein the curing agent is a free radical initiator, free radical co-accelerator, an inhibitor, a free radical stabilizer or a chelator.

4. The anaerobic sealant lubricant composition of claim 1 , wherein the rheology modifier is propoxylated bisphenol-A fumarate, bisphenol-A fumarate polyester resin, mica or fumed silica.

5. An article of manufacture comprising the anaerobic sealant lubricant composition of claim 1 .

6. The article of claim 5 , which is a fastener.

7. The article of claim 6 , wherein the fastener is nuts, bolts, rods, pins, collars, studs, pipes, and anchor.
