A composition including at least one anaerobically polymerizable compound; and at least one condensation product of an aldehyde and or ketone/with a polyol. The invention also provides a composition as described above which is in the form of a soft solid, for example, in the form of a stick. A two-part composition is provided, comprising a first part containing at least one polymerizable compound; and a second part containing at least one curing component for polymerizing the composition, wherein at least one of the first or second parts additionally comprises at least one gelling or solidifying agent. A kit is provided comprising the composition according to the invention which includes at least one primer component and at least one carrier solvent for the primer component, and a second composition which includes at least one anaerobically polymerizable compound and at least one condensation product of an aldehyde and or ketone/with a polyol. A pack is also provided, comprising: a shaped mass of a composition which includes at least one anaerobically polymerizable compound and at least one condensation product of an aldehyde and or ketone/with a polyol, and a container (
