I have many threaded connections that are subject to vibration

Is there something like "Loc-tite" that is suggested for use on
said connections?
Loctite is a cyanoacrylate resin that sets when it gets into an oxygen free environment.
It's not viscous enough before it sets to prevent metal-to-metal contact (micro-welding) but once it sets it is rigid enough to prevent the screwed connection from unscrewing itself by tiny progressive flexions.
It should do exactly what you want, if my understanding is correct, and that should be easy enough to test (not that I can do it at home).
