the only time i can think of that someone might resort to loctite on a bb
is with an italian threaded bb

but even italian bbs will stay in place if properly torqued
External bottom brackets benefit from a little blue loctite to keep the threads clean and creak free, a little teflon tape can also be used which is less sticky.
