Anaerobic adhesives remain liquid until isolated from oxygen while in the presence of metal ions, such as iron or copper. These adhesives are used in a variety of applications including threadlocking, retaining, pipe sealing, and gasketing and are often referred to as sealants instead of adhesives. The relationship between the amount of air, metal and adhesive/sealant is significant in the manufacturing, packaging and use of these products.

Pictogram Puzzle Answer:
Catalyst
Catalysts are substances that increase the rate of a chemical reaction while undergoing no permanent change itself. Within the world of adhesives, catalysts include adhesive hardening or curing agents commonly used with epoxies. Specific adhesives work with multiple types of catalysts, each one changing the characteristics of the adhesive differently.
