Henkel LOCTITE® 518™ Red Gasket Eliminator Flange Sealant from SkyGeek is used to deliver a strong, gasket-free seal. The sealant is available in a 300 mL kit, with two components that must be mixed before application. This advanced sealant is specifically designed for use in aviation and industrial applications where high-performance sealing is crucial. Manufactured by Henkel, a leader in adhesive technologies, LOCTITE® 518™ is engineered to replace traditional pre-cut gaskets, offering superior sealing capabilities between rigid metal flanges.
Key Features:
1. High-Performance Sealing: Enjoy a strong seal without the need for a gasket by choosing Henkel LOCTITE® 518™ Red Gasket Eliminator Flange Sealant from SkyGeek. LOCTITE® 518™ provides excellent sealing properties, effectively filling gaps and surface imperfections on machined metal flanges. This ensures a leak-proof assembly even under high-pressure conditions.
2. Anaerobic Cure: Looking for a sealant that can cure in the absence of air? Henkel LOCTITE® 518™ Red Gasket Eliminator Flange Sealant is just what you need. Curing only takes place when the sealant is starved or air, such as when it is confined between close-fitting metal surfaces. This anaerobic curing process allows for a durable bond that resists displacement and vibration.
3. Temperature and Chemical Resistance: Once cured, the sealant can withstand a broad temperature range from -65°F to 300°F (-54°C to 150°C) and exhibits excellent resistance to oils, water, glycol and other common aviation fluids making it ideal to use all over the aircraft.. ?
4. Easy Application: Available in a convenient 300 mL kit, LOCTITE® 518™ Sealant can be easily applied using a standard caulking gun or dispensing equipment. This ensures precise application and minimizes waste without compromising seal quality.
5. Flexible and Reliable: LOCTITE® Gasket Sealant remains flexible after curing, accommodating slight flange movements without compromising the integrity of the seal. This flexibility makes it ideal for dynamic environments encountered in aviation applications.
6. Cost-Effective Solution: By eliminating the need for pre-cut gaskets and reducing inventory requirements, LOCTITE® 518™ offers a cost-effective solution for maintenance and repair operations. One kit can replace multiple gaskets.
Applications:
Henkel LOCTITE® 518™ Red Gasket Eliminator Flange Sealant is suitable for use on aluminum, iron and steel flanged mating surfaces. It is widely used in aviation maintenance for sealing gearboxes, engine casings, pumps, compressors and other critical components where reliable sealing is essential.
Usage Instructions:
?Henkel LOCTITE® 518™ Red Gasket Eliminator Flange Sealant is easy to use. Start by preparing the surface. Ensure that all surfaces are clean, dry and free from grease or oil before moving on. Next, apply a continuous bead of LOCTITE® 518™ to one surface of the flange, then assemble parts immediately while the sealant is still wet. Allow sufficient time for curing before subjecting the assembly to operational conditions.
Henkel LOCTITE® 518™ Red Gasket Eliminator Flange Sealant from SkyGeek offers a robust solution for aviation professionals seeking reliability and efficiency in their sealing applications. Its proven performance makes it an indispensable tool in both routine maintenance and complex repair tasks within the aviation industry.
