Product Description
Permabond A011 is a low-strength anaerobic threadlocker — designed for screw connections that need to be loosened at any time during maintenance or repair using standard tools, without damaging the screw or thread.
With a viscosity of 500 mPa·s, A011 flows into threads up to M20 (¾") and fills gaps up to 0.12 mm. Curing begins in the absence of air and in contact with metal — typical for anaerobic adhesives — and reaches handling strength after 15 minutes and full strength after 24 hours.
The low breakaway torque of 4 N·m and the low continuing torque of 5 N·m make the A011 the first choice when screw connections need to be loosened with standard tools without heating. WRAS approval qualifies the product for applications involving direct contact with drinking water.
Low-strength and tool-removable — Permabond A011 is the right choice when screws and threads need to be easily loosened for maintenance or disassembly after bonding. Despite its low strength, the bond offers vibration resistance and corrosion protection.

Frequently asked questions about Permabond A011
Practical application and design questions — answered by SILITECH.
Permabond A011 is a single-component, anaerobic acrylic adhesive with a viscosity of 500 mPa·s and a gap-filling capacity of up to 0.12 mm. It provides low-strength threadlocking and can be removed at any time with standard tools. Anaerobic adhesives cure in the absence of air and in contact with metal—ideal for tight-tolerance metallic joints.
Anaerobic adhesives like Permabond A011 remain liquid in the bottle (due to contact with air and oxygen) and only begin to harden after bonding under anaerobic conditions and metal-to-metal contact. Curing starts at the metal surface and progresses into the bond gap. The product cures quickly on steel and copper; on stainless steel and zinc, the Permabond A905 activator may be beneficial.
Yes — Permabond A011 is a low-strength threadlocker (4 N·m breakaway torque) and can be removed at any time with standard tools without heating. Designed for maintenance and service.
Permabond A011 is approved according to WRAS drinking water regulations . These certifications qualify the product for the specified applications — such as direct contact with drinking water in the case of WRAS and KTW approvals.
Permabond A011 typically reaches handling strength after 15 minutes and functional strength after 1 hour at 23 °C on M10 steel. Final strength is reached after 24 hours. On inactive surfaces (stainless steel, zinc) or at low temperatures, the curing time is extended—Permabond A905 activator accelerates the process.
Permabond A011 is a low-strength threadlocker (500 mPa·s viscosity, 0.12 mm gap filling, 4 N·m breakaway torque). Permabond A113 is a medium-strength threadlocker (500 mPa·s, 0.12 mm gap filling, 12 N·m breakaway torque) — medium strength — higher locking. Both belong to the anaerobic Permabond A series.
The choice depends on the application: Permabond A011 (low-strength threadlocker); Permabond A113 (medium-strength); Permabond A130 (medium-strength WRAS); Permabond A126 (wicking). For inactive surfaces (stainless steel, zinc, aluminum), Permabond A905 activator should also be used to accelerate curing.
