LOCTITE 518 IND 6ML

LOCTITE 518 GASKET SEALANT 6ML TUBE

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 engine 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
