Advantages of Retaining Compounds
Applied as a liquid, they fill surface irregularities and provide 100% contact between mating metal surfaces, eliminating the need for expensive replacement parts, time consuming machining, or the use of mechanical methods. In addition, retaining compounds offer:
- High strength with simplified and less costly designs
- Reduced dependence on machining tolerances
- Elimination of corrosion and fretting
- Ability to disassemble the component
- Increased durability of assembly
- Even load and stress distribution over the entire joint
