Permatex 81160 High Temp RTV Silicone Gasket Maker, Red, 3 Oz

Permatex gasket makers offer significant performance advantages which include outstanding oil resistance, excellent torque retention and hi-temp, sensor-safe properties. Extended warranties, engine sensors and new component materials such as aluminum, bi-metal alloys and high-tech plastics, have created the need for superior RTV silicone gasket makers in both OEM production and service applications. Permatex always has the right gasket maker for your application.

Permatex Hi-Temp RTV Silicone Gasket is a single component, room temperature vulcanizing gasketing compound designed to provide reliable "formed-in-place" gaskets for mechanical assemblies. This material cures on exposure to moisture in the air to form a tough, flexible, silicone rubber gasket. The product resists aging, weathering and thermal cycling without hardening, shrinking or cracking. OEM Specified. Formulated for hi-temp applications, or heavy-duty use (such as towing, etc.). Coats pre-cut gaskets to increase reliability. Temperature range -65 °F to 650 °F (-54°C to 343°C) intermittent; resists auto and shop fluids.

Curing Performance:

Permatex Hi-Temp RTV Silicone Gasket cures on exposure to moisture in the air. The product dries tack free in one hour and fully cures in 24 hours. Cure times will vary with temperature, humidity and gap. Note: The curing process can cause corrosion to some surfaces, for critical applications use the Ultra Series silicones.

Chemical/Solvent Resistance:

The product retains effective properties in contact with automotive fluids, such as motor oil, transmission fluids, alcohol and antifreeze solutions. Note: Not recommended for parts in contact with gasoline.
