Loctite Gasket Sealants Adhesives

Loctite gasket adhesives and sealants are designed to create and prolong the life of gaskets, offering resistance to pressure and temperature while preventing leaks of moisture, gas, and fluids. These silicone-based products form gaskets in place, with some curing instantly and others requiring up to 24 hours for full strength.

Gasket Sealants

PRODUCT DETAILS

Loctite gasket sealants bond two surfaces, such as flanged components, to prevent leaks. Also known as gasket dressings, they reinforce existing gaskets, extending their lifespan. Gasket adhesives secure material gaskets during assembly but do not provide sealing. Gasket makers offer excellent gap-filling properties, eliminating the need for traditional gaskets. RTV gasket makers cure at room temperature, while anaerobic gasket makers cure in the absence of air, ideal for tightly machined parts. Gasket-making tape offers a quick, mess-free sealing solution for flanged joints, minimizing system downtime.

Applications of Loctite Gasket Sealants
Loctite gasket sealants are widely used in mechanical joints to ensure a tight seal, particularly in systems that operate under extreme temperatures and pressures, preventing the escape of liquids or gases. These products are commonly found in engines, liquid, and vapor systems.

Product Highlights:

  • SI 5900™ Single-Component Gasket Sealant: A low-strength sealant for gasketing, available in 90mL tubes, perfect for forming reliable seals in low-pressure applications.

  • SI 5900 Instant Gasket Sealant: A 190mL aerosol can offering instant curing for fast sealing solutions, ideal for high-performance applications.

  • 515™ Gasket Eliminator Flange Sealant: A versatile 50mL tube designed to replace traditional gaskets and create a reliable seal between flanged surfaces.

  • High-Performance RTV Gasket Makers: Available in grey, these silicone-based sealants, such as the SI 5699, provide excellent sealing properties for high-temperature environments.

For an all-rounder gasketing product, try LOCTITE® Hi-Tack Gasket Sealant. This liquid adhesive holds gaskets in place during assembly, prevents seizing, corrects gasket alignment, and allows easy disassembly. It seals and bonds rubber, cork, paper, felt, metal, and asbestos gaskets, and sets quickly to a very tacky film. It’s operational up to 260°C (500°F) and is perfect for weather stripping and waterproofing electrical connections.
