Used blue threadlock on the axle threads (waited for it to dry) but still coming loose,any aftermarket nuts out there people are using or is it a case of stronger threadlock?
Something will be binding up in your hub. Wheels don't just fall off. Something has to loosen the nut.
Check these in this order:

- Wheel, ensure the hex has not rounded off.
- Hex it's self, ensure that has not rounded off.
- Bearings, inner and outer. And ensure you have the crunch spacer in between the bearings.
- drive shaft pin, ensure there is no play there.
- nylock nuts, these are a must. Thy are far better than the normal serrated ones.

All the above will work in reverse to the power, and loosen your wheel nut.

Let us know how you get on!
