pre-applied threadlock, what is it?

When you get a pack of bolts/screws with certain mechanical products sometimes the threads come with a pre-applied thread lock (usually blue in colour) - I'm thinking more mountain bike stuff actually as this is where I recall seeing it.

What is the product applied? Normal Loctite solution etc seems too thin, this stuff is more like a thick paint.

"Normal"Locite comes in different grades to suit the pitch of the thread and job in hand so an optical technician uses a much less viscous grade than an industrial pipe fitter.
