A high viscosity thixotropic gel, which cures rapidly, sealing instantly to 10 bar through its Anaerobic cure system, in contact with Metals in the absence of air (oxygen). When fully cured it resists pressure up to 200 bar and up to 180°C.
Applications
Typical applications are in sealing all types of flat faced surfaces with close fits against water, oil, gases and most common materials conveyed by systems needing sealing.
Directions for use
Parts should be clean, dry and dust free.
Degreased parts will assist results.
Apply sufficient product to fill joint.
Assemble parts in traditional manner.
To achieve handling strength allow product to cure (approximately 15 minutes).
Store in cool conditions.
Keep out of direct sunlight.
Where cure speed is extended due to low temperatures or inactive surfaces, activator can be used (not supplied).
Best results are found if the sealant is applied in a continuous bead avoiding blind holes etc. Excess can be wiped away. Any migration into lines will not solidify and can be flushed away during commissioning.
Properties
Fast Cure to fixture usually <30 minutes @ 20°C on steel. Temperature Range: -50°C to + 180°C
Typical Break-loose: 12Nm. up to 18Nm (ISO method 4) Typical Strength: 6 N.m prevailing on M10’s (ISO method 4) Recommended for flat faced assemblies with near zero gaps. Increase of gap size or fit extends the cure time.
An activator (Standard anaerobic activator) can be used, however, up to 30% strength loss can occur when using accelerators.
