Tough, Flexible Gasket
Materials for Many Uses

Tough yet flexible, Permatex brand Gasket Makers from Devcon, Danvers, Massachusetts, U.S.A., are available in a variety of formulations to replace conventional gaskets in even the most demanding industrial applications. These reliable, noncorrosive, form-in-place compounds require no mixing, cure at room temperature and form to any size and shape. They are available in three technologies — elastomeric rubber, silicone rubber and anaerobic — that resist weathering and thermal cycling, and will not shrink or crack, according to the company.

The Right Stuff Gasket Maker is a low-odor thixotropic paste that resists oil and withstands continuous service temperatures from - 59° to 232°C. Ideal for OEM assembly lines, this elastomeric rubber fills gaps to 6. 35 mm and offers superior

adhesion and flexibility to accommodate joint movement. Typical applications include gearboxes, stamped sheet-metal covers, compressors, pumps, valve covers and oil pans. It is available in tubes, cartridges and PowerBead applicator cans.

Permatex silicone-rubber Gasket Makers seal rigid or flexible flanges. Nonflammable, they withstand continuous service temperatures as low as - 54°C and as high as 316°C. Formulated for outstanding oil resistance, these low-odor, nonsagging pastes fill gaps to 6. 35 mm.

Available in three formulations, Permatex anaerobic Gasket Makers are designed to prevent movement in rigid assemblies. These gels cure between close-fitting machined metal surfaces in the absence of air and withstand continuous service temperatures as low as

18°C and as high as 204°C. Anaerobic Gasket Maker is ideal for on-the-spot emergency repairs and resists many industrial and automotive chemicals. High Temperature Anaerobic Flange Sealant is particularly suited where maximum temperature and chemical resistance are required. This formulation permits clamping loads to be maintained for strong, leak-proof assemblies. More flexible, Anaerobic Flange Sealant is designed for use on rigid, machined flanges that move in service. A
