LOCTITE 518 Flange Sealant

Medium-strength, general purpose gasketing product - excellent contamination tolerance. Ideal for use on casted iron, steel and aluminum flanges. LOCTITE® 518 cures when confined in the absence of air between close-fitting metal surfaces. It is an anaerobic gasketing material designed for use on rigid iron, aluminum, and steel flanged mating surfaces. Fills gaps up to 0.25mm and forms a flexible, chemical-resistant seal that will not tear or decay. Parts disassemble easily, even after extended service. Typical applications include sealing close-fitting joints between rigid metal faces and flanges. It is also used as a formed-in-place gasket on rigid flanged connections, e.g. transmissions and motor housings. NEW: Henkel has recently improved the product formulation of LOCTITE® 518 providing: Higher strength on contaminated surfaces Better flexibility and improved adhesion Enhanced sealing capability Improved gap cure High performance on passive metals without an activator
