Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A sealant material for sealing joints between male and female mating parts comprising: (a) an elongate flexible thread suitable for wrapping around at least one of the parts, and (b) a joint sealing composition comprising an anaerobically curable composition in solid form, the flexible thread being coated with the anaerobically curable composition. This provides a reactive composition on the thread for sealing joints.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An article of manufacture comprising an anaerobically curable joint sealing composition in solid form packaged in a dispenser from which the anaerobically curable joint sealing composition in solid form can be supplied for direct application to a joint to be sealed. 2. A method of applying an anaerobically curable joint sealing composition in solid form to an elongate flexible thread comprising the steps of: (a) melting the anaerobically curable joint sealing composition in solid form; and (b) applying the anaerobically curable joint sealing composition in melted form to the elongate flexible thread. 3. A method according to claim 2 wherein the application of the curable composition in melted form to the elongate flexible thread is achieved by drawing the elongate flexible thread through a mass of the curable composition in melted form. 4. A method according to claim 2 wherein the method forms a sealant material. 5. A method of sealing joints between male and female mating parts by: (a) providing an anaerobically curable joint sealing composition in solid form comprising: (i) an elongate flexible thread suitable for wrapping around at least one of the parts, and (ii) a joint sealing composition comprising an anaerobically curable composition in solid form, the flexible thread being coated with the anaerobically curable composition; (b) winding the sealant material about at least one of the parts; and (c) mating the parts so as to seal a joint with the sealant material.
