For best performance, pair with these Loxeal products:
Loxeal Cleaner 10 Degreaser: clean and degrease both parts first for maximum bond strength.
Loxeal Activator 11: speeds curing on stainless steel, plated and other passive metals, in cold conditions, or across larger gaps.
Loxeal 53-11 Retaining Compound Anaerobic Adhesive 50ml
Loxeal 53-11 is a medium strength anaerobic retaining compound for fixing bearings, liners, bushes, keys and splines into housings and onto shafts. It fills the space between cylindrical parts to give 100% surface contact, boosting load-carrying capacity while still allowing disassembly with standard workshop methods. The cured adhesive is highly resistant to heat, corrosion, vibration, water, gases, oils, hydrocarbons and many chemicals across a service range of -55°C to +150°C.
Why choose Loxeal 53-11?
General purpose retainer for bearings, bushes, liners, keys and splines
Medium strength – parts remain serviceable and can be dismantled
Fills the joint completely, preventing fretting corrosion between mating parts
Increases load transmission compared with a mechanical fit alone
Low viscosity wicks into close-fitting cylindrical assemblies
Resists vibration, oils, fuels and many chemicals from -55°C to +150°C
Typical applications
Retaining bearings and bushes in housings and on shafts
Securing cylinder liners, keys, splines and sleeves
Workshop repairs to restore security in worn cylindrical fits
How to use
Clean and degrease both parts with Loxeal Cleaner 10 and allow to dry.
Apply the adhesive so the bond gap is completely filled.
Assemble the parts, seating them fully, and hold in position for the cure time.
Allow to cure before loading. On passive surfaces or in cold conditions, pre-treat with Loxeal Activator 11 to accelerate curing.

Important notes
Formulated for metal substrates only – contact a technical service before use on other materials.
The liquid adhesive can damage coatings, some plastics and elastomers, and may cause stress cracking in some thermoplastics.
To disassemble, use normal tools; if needed, heat parts to +150°C/+250°C, remove cured residue mechanically and clean with acetone.
Store in a cool, dry place at no more than +25°C and do not return used product to the container.
Safety
