Hartford, CT…Permatex, Inc., a leader in chemical technology for automotive maintenance and repair, has just expanded its innovative line of Gel Threadlockers with the addition of its new Permatex Threadlocker Gel in the Gel Squeeze Applicator. Gel Squeeze has a unique formula that allows technicians and DIYers to put the right amount of threadlocker material exactly where they want it, even in overhead, vertical, and hard-to-reach applications. Gel Squeeze’s smooth flow formula prevents dripping, and eliminates waste and clean up.

Permatex Gel Squeeze Threadlocker works the same and is as reliable as any of Permatex’s proven line of threadlockers. It is available in a handy 5g tube for both medium and heavy-duty applications, and is offered in two popular grades: Permatex Gel Squeeze Medium Strength Threadlocker Blue Gel (Part No. 24005) and Gel Squeeze High Strength Threadlocker Red Gel (Part No. 27005).
