In automobile repair, RTV gasket maker has replaced traditional rubber rings and paper gaskets and has become the most popular sealing material in automobile repair. It not only has excellent high temperature resistance and oil resistance, but also can effectively resist vibration and achieve perfect sealing.
1. Advantages of RTV silicone gasket maker
- Hi-temperature, non-corrosive.
- Meets low volatility requirements for oxygen sensor-equipped engines, and won’t foul engine sensors.
- Superior oil resistance, waterproof
- Good flexibility, strong resistance to pressure
- Applicable to complex or irregular contact surfaces, reduce dependence on finished gaskets, and reduce repair costs
2. How to use silicone gasket maker?
(1) Clean the surface and ensure that the substrate is clean and free of oil.
(2) Apply the gasket maker silicone sealant correctly. It should be applied in a continuous and even manner to form a complete sealing strip, but do not apply too much glue to prevent excessive silicone from squeezing out and affecting the sealing effect. In addition, try to form a closed rubber ring to avoid leakage points.
(3) Close the two sealing surfaces and remove the overflowed glue.
(4) Observe the required curing time and avoid applying excessive pressure or twisting before complete curing.
3.GT101 Gasket RTV Sealant
GT101 is a single-component silicone rubber sealant for high-torque applications. It offers improved adhesion to oily surfaces and is three times more oil-resistant than generic silicones.
Resists temperatures to 650℉(315℃), and stands high vibrations for assembly as a form-in-place gasket.
Typical application:
RTV silicone gasket maker can substitute for all kinds of rubber mats, asbestos mats, cork pads, and pads, such as cardboard. Automobiles, motorcycles, and all kinds of machinery and equipment combined with the flange sealing surface to implement immediately, without the combination of face size and shape constraints, are widely used in various parts of mechanical seal leak-proof.
