Adhesives and Lubricants – Built for the Trade
Whether you’re sealing a flange, bonding a shaft, or keeping a bearing spinning, adhesives and lubricants are what keep the job tight, clean, and moving.
Whether you need Loctite threadlockers, Ambersil aerosols, Perma Lubricants or a Weicon product Godiva Bearings stocks what the trade needs to stick, seal, and protect. No weak substitutes. No end-user gimmicks. Just proven products that work in real-world conditions.
What Are Adhesives and Lubricants?
Adhesives are used to bond, seal, or secure components under load. Lubricants reduce friction, prevent wear, and protect moving parts from heat, water, and contamination.
Types we supply:
- Threadlockers (medium and high strength)
- Retaining compounds
- Gasketing and flange sealants
- Penetrating sprays and degreasers
- General and food-grade lubricants
- Greases, oils, and dry films
Each type has a specific role in protecting plant and equipment.
What Are They Made Of?
Formulations vary by application:
- Anaerobic adhesives – Cure in the absence of air; used in threadlocking and retaining
- Silicone-based sealants – Flexible and temperature resistant
- Synthetic oils and greases – Designed for high-load or high-temperature bearings
- PTFE and moly-based sprays – For clean, dry, low-friction coatings
- NSF H1 food-safe formulas – Suitable for use in hygiene-critical areas
Supplied in aerosols, tubes, cartridges, or bulk containers.
Where Are Adhesives and Lubricants Used?
They’re found in every trade workshop, service van, and plant maintenance cabinet. Common applications include:
- Thread securing: Preventing fastener loosening in rotating assemblies
- Shaft bonding: Using retaining compound for motor or gearbox shafts
- Flange sealing: Replacing gaskets in pumps and pipework
- Anti-seize protection: On studs, bolts and high-temp fittings
- Bearing lubrication: With greases or automatic systems
- Cleaning and prep: Using degreasers or contact cleaners
- Food and beverage: Safe-for-contact sprays for lubrication and release
- Electrical assembly: Non-conductive sprays for switchgear or PCB service
If something moves, heats up, or needs sealing, these products are part of the job.
What Do They Help Prevent?
Used properly, adhesives and lubricants prevent:
- Fastener loosening under vibration
- Bearing seizure or wear from lack of lubrication
- Corrosion and rust on exposed metal parts
- Fluid leaks from gaskets or joints
- Time loss due to poor prep or contamination
They help avoid rework, failure, and messy call-backs.
Installation, Use and Maintenance Tips
To get it right:
- Clean all surfaces before applying adhesives or greases
- Match threadlocker strength to job – red for permanent, blue for serviceable
- Use food-safe lubricants in any hygiene zone
- Don’t mix grease types – it causes separation
- Store sprays upright, capped, and cool
Always follow product data sheets – they’re there for a reason.
Conclusion: Seal It. Lube It. Lock It.
The right adhesive or lubricant stops breakdowns before they happen. It’s the hidden part of every successful install, repair, or rebuild.
