LOCTITE 518 Gasket Sealant 50ml

LOCTITE 518 is a medium-strength, anaerobic gasketing material ideal for creating a durable and flexible seal between close-fitting metal surfaces, especially cast iron, aluminium, and steel flanges. It’s designed for use in applications where traditional gaskets are typically used, offering excellent contamination tolerance and adaptability to irregular flange surfaces.

Key Features:

• Type: Semi-flexible, medium-strength anaerobic flange gasket
• Applications: Ideal for cast iron, aluminium, and steel flanges
• Gap Filling: Fills gaps up to 0.25 mm
• Curing: Cures when confined between close metal surfaces in the absence of air
• Consistency: Gel-type, allowing easy application and preventing misalignment
• Pressure Resistance: Seals instantly against low pressure, and resists high pressure when fully cured
• Chemical Resistance: Provides a chemical-resistant seal that won’t tear or decay
• Easy Disassembly: Parts can be easily disassembled, even after extended service
• Process Improvement: Reduces costs by eliminating manual assembly of conventional gaskets and the need for large gasket inventories

Benefits:

• For Active and Inactive Metal Flanges: Suitable for both active (copper, brass) and inactive (aluminium, steel) metals.
• Sealing: Effective for sealing rigid metal faces and flanges such as motor housings and transmissions.
• Adaptability: Adapts to surface irregularities, making it versatile for various industries.
• Compliance: NSF P1 registered, which means it’s approved for use in food-related applications.

LOCTITE 518 is ideal for maintenance and assembly operations, significantly reducing the inventory of pre-cut gaskets and increasing the efficiency of forming-in-place gaskets.
