Thread Locking Adhesive: Introduction
·
Tension in mechanical system takes place due to temperature
changes in the system. These temperature changes occur due to the expansion and
contraction of bolts and substrate materials. This leads to an increase in bolt
tension and force on the mechanical assembly. Thread locking adhesive
completely fills the gaps between interfacing threads at microscopic level.
Application of the adhesive helps prevent the lateral movement in mechanical
assembly. Thread locking adhesive also protects joints from corrosion against
moisture, gasses, and fluids.
·
Based on end-use industry, the global
thread locking adhesive market can be segmented into automotive,
electrical & electronics, aerospace & defense, industrial, and others.
Automotive and electrical & electronics segments cumulatively held major
share of the global thread locking adhesive market in 2019. Growth in
production of automotive in developing regions is likely to boost the demand
for thread locking adhesive in the automotive industry. The Industrial segment
is likely to hold small share of the global thread locking adhesive market in
the near future.
Increase in Demand for Thread Locking Adhesive in Automotive Sector
to Drive Market
·
Demand for electric vehicles has been increasing due to the
growth in concerns about environment protection across the globe. Several
countries plan to reduce their dependence on crude oil. They are focusing on
building of infrastructure for production of electric vehicles. For instance,
Tesla, a leading player in the U.S. hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) industry,
plans to increase investments in its manufacturing facility in Shanghai, China;
and Fremont, California, the U.S.
·
Thread lock adhesive is based on acrylic technology. It prevents
leakage and loosening in closely fitted metal surfaces. The loosening can be
due to vibrations and shock in steel nuts & bolts and metals. Apart from
metallic surface, thread lock adhesive is used in seal pipe flanges, retain
worn bearings, and manufacture of machine and equipment.
·
Thread locking adhesive provides excellent curing performance
onto a variety of substrates. It can also withstand high temperature changes,
oil contaminations, and anti-corrosion onto the metal surface. Apart from these
properties, thread locking adhesive offers high temperature performance and oil
tolerance onto passive substrates such as stainless steel. The automotive
industry uses thread locking adhesives for sealing in motors and pumps. These
characteristics of thread locking adhesive are expected to drive their demand
in the automotive sector.
Impact
of COVID-19 on Global Thread Locking Adhesive Market
·
The COVID-19 pandemic has posed severe challenges for the global
automotive sector. It has impacted the value chain in terms of production and
supply of raw material as well as end products. For instance, China’s
commercial vehicle sales declined by 18% in January 2020 over those in January
2019.
·
Decline in consumer demand has led to a drop in sale of
automobiles across the globe. This has affected the production of various
automotive parts. Thread locking adhesives are extensively used in sealing of
motor and pump parts. Thus, consumption of thread locking adhesives is likely
to be affected due to spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Asia Pacific to Hold Major Share of Global Thread Locking
Adhesive Market
·
Based on region, the global thread locking adhesive market can
be split into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle
East & Africa
·
Asia Pacific is expected to hold significant share of the global
thread locking adhesive market in the near future. Growth in urbanization and
increase in disposable income of the middle class population have led boosted
the sale of automobiles in the region. This is expected to increase the
consumption of thread locking adhesive in manufacture of various automotive
parts. Rise in demand for consumer electronics is another factor that is
projected to drive the demand for thread locking adhesive in the region.
·
Majority of producers of thread locking adhesive are
concentrated in Europe and North America. The market in these regions is
mature. Hence, key players in these regions primarily supply thread locking
adhesives to Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa, and Latin America.
