Elastic face gasket for medium to high strength connections. Due to its high viscosity it is perfect for vertical surfaces and overhead work.
One component, medium strength anaerobic sealant that air cures between fitted metal surfaces. Typical applications include sealing tight joints between rigid metal surfaces and flanges. Immediately after, the flange seals at low pressures. Typical use is the production of fluid seals in torsionally rigid flanged connections, such as gear and motor housings, etc. Loctite® 518 thixotropic reduces product migration after application to the substrate.
A face seal is a seal between two bolt-on flanges. Face seals prevent the escape of gaseous and liquid media by filling the space between the flange surfaces completely. Therefore, these seals must remain intact throughout the life of the connection and tight. The face seal must be resistant to the medium to be sealed and can withstand operating temperatures, pressures, and relative movement or deformation of parts.
Ideal for use on rigid iron, steel and aluminum flanges
