I have a loctite "catalog" and it doesn't say that thread locker is anaerobic but I did a search and found the following:

From Loctite page
Q: Why isn't the container full of threadlocker?
A: The containers are filled halfway because air is needed in the package to prevent the Anaerobics from solidifying.

"LOCTITEŽ Product 242 is a single component anaerobic
threadlocking material, which is thixotropic and develops
medium strength. The product cures when confined in the
absence of air between close fitting metal surfaces and is
particularly suitable for less active substrates such as stainless
steel and plated surfaces."
