Gasket Sealants
Gaskets are used to prevent leakage of fluids or gases by forming impervious barriers. For successful gasketing, the seal must be able to withstand the operating temperatures and pressures to which it is subjected, and must remain intact and leak-free over a long period of time.
LOCTITE® gasketing products are self-forming gaskets that provide a perfect seal between components, with maximum face-to-face contact, eliminating flange face corrosion. A low pressure seal is formed immediately on assembly and, at full cure, it provides a seal that won’t shrink, crack or relax.
LOCTITE gasket & flange sealants can provide up to 95% material savings over hard gaskets while offering flexibility in design, allowing for lower cost manufacturing methods.
Top Pick Loctite® 518™ Gasket Eliminator® Flange Sealant forms a flexible, solvent-resistant seal that will not tear or decay.
Loctite® 548™ Flange Sealant Stick is a patented semi-solid formula is ideal for on-the-spot repairs, or when a conventional gasket is out of stock.
Loctite® 5590™ Adhesive / Sealant is a two-component adhesive for elastic bonding where the curing rate of one-component adhesives is too slow.
Close fitting joints between rigid metal faces and flanges. Because it is fast curing, it provides resistance to low pressures immediately after assembly of flanges.
