Abstract
Abstract A flowable anaerobic sealant composition adapted to be applied to a threaded surface which is characterized by being stable prior to curing is provided which composition comprises a polymerizable acrylate ester monomer, a hydroperoxide polymerization catalyst for said acrylate ester monomer in an amount sufficient to cause said monomer to polymerize under anaerobic conditions, a quinone polymerization inhibitor in an amount sufficient to prevent said monomer from polymerizing when standing for long periods of time, an organic sulfimide accelerator in an amount sufficient to increase the rate of polymerization of said monomer under anaerobic conditions, and a plasticizer in an amount sufficient to render the solidified sealant composition relatively non-brittle. Optionally, the sealant composition may also contain a thickening agent in an amount sufficient to render said sealant composition flowable at room temperature, a coloring agent in an amount sufficient to render said sealant composition non-transparent, a viscosity controlling agent in an amount sufficient to permit said sealant composition to readily flow into said threads when applied thereto without excessive runoff, and an effective amount of tetrafluoroethylene polymer as an anti-galling agent.

211 words
A flowable anaerobic sealant composition which is adapted to be applied to a threaded article and which is characterized by its ability to remain stable for an extended period of time prior to solidifying and which upon solidifying is non-brittle which comprises: (a) a polymerizable acrylate ester monomer; (b) a hydroperoxide polymerization catalyst for said acrylate ester monomer in an amount sufficient to cause said monomer to polymerize under anaerobic conditions; (c) a quinone polymerization inhibitor in an amount sufficient to prevent said monomer from polymerizing when standing for long periods of time; (d) an organic sulfimide accelerator in an amount sufficient to increase the rate of polymerization of said monomer under anaerobic conditions; (e) a thickening agent in an amount sufficient to render said sealant composition flowable at room temperature; (f) a coloring agent in an amount sufficient to render said sealant composition non-transparent; (g) a viscosity controlling agent in an amount sufficient to cause said sealant composition to flow into voids in threads when applied thereto; (h) an effective amount of tetrafluorethylene polymer as an anti-galling agent; and (i) a plasticizer in an amount sufficient to render the solidified composition non-brittle, with said plasticizer being at least one compound selected from the group consisting of glycerides and derivatives thereof.
