LOCTITE 518 - 50ml (anaerobic, red, medium strength flange sealant)
LOCTITE® 518
Product Description
LOCTITE® 518 is a single component, medium strength, anaerobic sealant which cures when confined in the absence of air between close fitting metal surfaces and provides resistance to low pressures immediately after assembly of flanges. The thixotropic nature ofLOCTITE® 518 reduces the migration of liquid product after application to the substrate. LOCTITE® 518 provides robust curing performance. It not only works on active metals (e.g. mild steel) but also on passive substrates such as aluminum with a low copper content. The product offers gap performance to 0.25 mm (0.01 in) and contamination tolerance. It cures in the presence of minor surface contaminations from various oils, such as cutting, lubrication, anti-corrosion and protection fluids and cleaners containing surfactants and corrosion inhibitors. Typical applications include sealing close fitting joints between rigid metal faces and flanges as a form-in-place gasket, e.g. gearbox and engine casings, etc.
