Retaining Compounds

Retaining Compounds are designed to bond non-threaded, cylindrical, metal assemblies by filling the voids between close-fitting metal parts. Retaining Compounds harden to create a solid, one-piece assembly. Retaining Compounds can be used to lock keyways, secure splines, augment press fits, and strengthen interference fits. Use them to prevent wear on new components, or restore the fit to worn or out-of-tolerance parts. Retaining Compounds seal joints against leakage and prevent fretting and corrosion. Formulated in a variety of viscosities, strength characteristics, gap-filling abilities, and temperature ranges, Permatex ® Retaining Compounds can solve even the most difficult retaining applications.
