LOCTITE 518 GASKET ELIM. FLANGE SEALANT

Rigid Assembly Flange Sealant

Forms a flexible, solvent-resistant seal that will not tear or decay. Seals to 300°F and fills gaps to 0.050. Can be used on flexible metal assemblies, including aluminum surfaces. Easy disassembly and cleaning. Ideal for on-the-spot and emergency repairs, or when a conventional gasket is out of stock.

Main Attributes: Resists low on-line test pressure, uncured.
Applications: Gearbox, engine casting.

Gasketing & Sealing: Gaskets are used to prevent fluid or gas leaks by forming impervious barriers. For successful gasketing, the seal must remain intact and leak-free over a prolonged period of time. Therefore, the gasket must resist the fluid and/or gaseous medium being sealed or excluded, and withstand the operating temperatures and pressures to which it is subjected.

Anaerobic Gasketing: Anaerobic gasketing technology has revolutionized flange sealing in the automotive industry, the assembly of heavy equipment, and the manufacture of various types of fluid power equipment. Loctite® anaerobic gasketing materials remain liquid when exposed to air, but cure when confined between mating flanges. Anaerobic gasketing products are best suited for small gap applications and rigid metal-to-metal assemblies.
