Anaerobic refers to sealants that harden after the air is displaced.
This is how Lock-tite products work. They also make sealants based on
this process. Can't remember the name and I am out of town but any good
lock-tits display will also have these sealants.

I plan to replace a seal on a jetta engine and the Haynes manual asks
for an anaerobic gasket sealant.  Anybody know what type (i.e.name) of
sealant this would be at your FLAPS?
