Application reasons
Our torque sealants can be used in a variety of ways.
Torque loosening indicator
Is this screw connection still tight?
Visual inspection marker
Has this screw connection already been tightened or checked?
Tamper indicator
Was this screw connection loosened without authorisation?
Assignment indicator
Who was the last person to work on this bolted joint?
Threadlocker
Shouldn't this screw connection (M1-M3) be better secured?
Application
It's child's play. We promise.
Apply torque sealant
When applying, the screw and the fastener should be thoroughly cleaned of oil, grease, moisture and rust.
Intact seal
Once the paint system is completely dry, the torque sealant acts as a sealant.
Broken seal
The sealant breaks as soon as the screw connection loosens.

Torque sealant is a varnish that is applied to mechanical fasteners and usually acts as a "visual safety mark" or inspection seal. Torque sealant is available in different colors and in transparent. Most torque sealants currently available on the market are solvent-based but more environmentally friendly variants, for example water-based (VOC-free) torque sealants, have been gaining in importance in recent years as they are much gentler on humans and nature.
Due to the many different fields of application, there are many different terms that can be assigned to the umbrella term "torque sealant". These include: torque seal; torque seal paint; tamper proof sealant; tamper proof indicator paste; torque inspection seal; torque indicator paste; torque stripe; witness mark; marking ink; screw protection varnish.
