ND Industries Adhesives

Anti-Seize 917

Anti-Seize 917 is a Nickel based lubricant specially formulated to prevent seizing, galling, pitting, excessive wear and corrosion. The protective paste consists of fine flakes of graphite suspended in a blend of lubricants and oils. It will not wash, squeeze or burn out, even at elevated temperatures and high pressures.

ND Microspheres® Acrylic

ND Microspheres Acrylic Series contains a microencapsulated activator that is suspended in a quick curing waterborne resin. The shearing forces caused by engagement with a mating part releases the activator and allow it to mix with the resin. The resulting chemical reaction rapidly bonds the surfaces, locking the parts together and sealing leak paths. ND Microspheres Acrylic Series offers consistent and predictable torque values and requires no heat or primers for curing.

ND Microspheres® Epoxy

ND Microspheres remain inert until the coated fastener is assembled to its mating part. The forces of engagement crush the microscopic capsules of epoxy resin, mix the separate reactant components, and initiate a chemical reaction which locks the parts together.
