Loctite 518 Gasket Eliminator, Flange Sealant, 250ml

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. LOCTITE 518 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.

• Prevents leakage: It fills all gaps between the mating flange parts and cures into a hard thermoset plastic that fills all surface irregularities providing 100% seal.
• Adapts to flange surface irregularities and scratches up to 0.25 mm.
• Eliminates gasket compression set.
• Reduces inventory cost and complexity as one tube can make many different shapes and sizes of gaskets.
• Provides instant seal.
• Ideal for use on rigid metal parts, e.g. cast iron components and pump housings.
• High oil resistance.
• Excellent water and glycol resistance.
