liquid gasket product. It is suitable for use on rigid metal, eg gearbox and motor housings, particularly where minor oil contamination of flange surfaces may occur. It air cures between tight metal surfaces and is particularly suitable for aluminum parts where very good adhesion is achieved. Immediately afterwards, the flange is sealed at low pressures (danger sealing effect).
Gathered with very high flexibility of the latest anaerobic facial sealing technology claims. Loctite® 5188 achieves excellent adhesion and flexibility even after heat aging and can therefore be used for the most demanding applications. OEM manufacturers and suppliers have long been enjoying the technical and economic benefits of anaerobic gaskets.
Loctite® 5188 takes this technology to a new level. This product can be applied by hand or automatically dosed with the appropriate processing and metering devices.
Highly elastic, even after heat aging
Very good adhesion to metals, particularly aluminum
Allows flange designs with direct metal contact
immediate sealing at low pressure
Excellent chemical resistance of the cured product
oil tolerant
It can be used for many applications in industry and in the automotive sector. Typical applications include metal flanges, eg gears, housing, etc.
Tolerates micro-movements in highly stressed flanges
