Anaerobic adhesives
Perhaps a stupid question, but why don't anaerobic adhesives like loctite solidify in the bottle with such a limited supply of O2? I have noticed that the bottles contain a relatively small amount of product. Is there a constant reaction going on in the bottle that keeps it stable?
I be real dumb like, so use small werds.

I don't know too much about anaerobic adhesives, but do know they don't kick when exposed to O2. ... note the bottles are half full of air (new). They are slow to set, as well.

to make loctite last to its shelf date. place in refrigerator. which none of us ever do.

Yes,
Like cyanoacrylates (super glue) they harden in a vaccum...or in the absents of oxygen... Developed for the space program...I read somewhere..

I do know that if you get your fingers stuck with it, peel don't pull. Ask me how I know.

From http://multimedia.mmm.com/mws/mediawebserver.dyn?6666660Zjcf6lVs6EVs66S_3aCOrrrr Q-
These two following conditions are needed for proper cure: a. Metal ionization: Contact with metal ions, especially those of the active materials. b. Absence of oxygen or air: Oxygen is an inhibitor which prevents the anaerobic adhesive from setting up (solidified) while in storage. When oxygen is deprived, such as by the screwing of the nut onto the bolt or mating of the flanged parts, then the adhesive will cure up. A list of the active materials is on the site.
