Loctite also serves as anti seize because it provides a layer that helps prevent two metals (usually dissimilar) from corroding together. Steel into aluminum and I don’t want it to back out like a shock bolt? Try some loctite blue. Also it only hardens in the absence of oxygen, so you can put a drop on threads and it won’t harden until you assemble the fastener.
