Loctite 598 RTV High Performance Silicone, Black, 190 ml

LOCTITE® 515™ Gasket Maker is a perfect seal between components that cures when confined in the absence of air between close-fitting metal surfaces. It seals close-fitting joints between rigid metal faces and flanges, and will flex with minor flange movements, providing resistance to low pressures immediately after the assembly of flanges. This anaerobic adhesive is typically used for pumps, thermostats, compressors, transmission housings, and axle covers, and is suitable for temperatures between -65°F and 300°F (-54°C and 149°C).

LOCTITE 515 Gasket Maker & Flange Sealant is designed for use on rigid machined flanges with less than 0.015" (0.381 mm) gaps. It works on all metals, including passive substrates such as stainless steel, aluminum, and plated surfaces, and is proven to be tolerant of minor contamination due to industrial oils, such as motor oils, corrosion prevention oils, and cutting fluids.

One of the key features of LOCTITE 515 is its flexibility, as it adds flexibility to rigid machined flanges that move in service, eliminating the need for preformed, paper, rubber, and cork gaskets. This makes it a reliable and convenient solution for automotive and other applications, such as water pumps, thermostat housings, transmission pans, transmission case covers, and transaxle casings, including O-ring replacement.

Removing LOCTITE 515 is also easy. Simply scrape it with a paint scraper or painter's tool, and if necessary, apply LOCTITE Chisel Paint Stripper and wait 10 minutes for effortless removal. LOCTITE 515 is OEM certified and UL classified, ensuring its reliability and quality.

The curing time of LOCTITE 515 is also convenient, as it sets in 15 minutes to 2 hours with a primer, and 1 to 12 hours without a primer. This makes it a versatile and user-friendly solution for a wide range of applications.

In summary, LOCTITE 515 Gasket Maker & Flange Sealant is a reliable, flexible, and easily removable adhesive that provides a perfect seal between components, making it a top choice for a variety of applications, including automotive, industrial, and more.
