LOCTITE vs Manually Cut Paper Gaskets
Manually cut paper gaskets demand immense time and skill during installation process, yet do not fill the gaps which LOCTITE can fill completely.
LOCTITE vs Pre-cut Gaskets
Pre-cut gaskets seal by compression which makes them susceptible to relaxation. LOCTITE fills all gaps forming a tough layer that never relaxes.
LOCTITE vs O-rings
O-rings cannot plug all flange surface irregularities, which LOCTITE can seal completely.
WHY CHOOSE LOCTITE GASKETING COMPOUND?
Resist loss
in elasticity:
- No cracking, relaxation,
or extrusion upon
application - No need for frequent
tightening of flange bolts
Unitized flange:
- No side to side movement
of flange or gasket - Stable bolt tension due to
the elimination of
a third element
Increase End Product
Service Life:
- Higher off-torque
provides additional
safety
100% seal:
- Impenetrable gasket seal
layer locks the process
fluid inside - Prevents corrosion of flanges
Reduced inventory cost
and complexity:
- One tube of gasket seal
can make various shapes
and sizes of gaskets

START READINGLOCTITE offers a wide range of flange sealants suitable for various applications. For best results, it is critical to apply the right flange sealant to increase assembly reliability.
See HowLOCTITE Gasketing Compounds completely fill the space between flange surfaces, making it an ideal product for manufacturing and maintenance applications.
Know HowLOCTITE 518 is a general purpose gasketing product which can eliminate disadvantages associated with conventional gasketing methods such as large inventories, leaky assembly and frequent maintenance needs.
See HowGaskets across industries, are exposed to high temperature conditions, leading 2 frequent failures in functioning machineries. Knowing the root cause behind these failures can help prevent unplanned breakdowns.

Here’s a list of queries with responses that might help you.
Yes, LOCTITE Anaerobic Gasket seal can resist pressure up to 34.47 N/mm2.
Yes, in case the product design specifies the use of pre-cut gasket as a shim, LOCTITE Anaerobic Gasket Dressing can be used in conjugation with the pre-cut gasket. Just clean the flange surfaces and apply LOCTITE Anaerobic Gasket Dressing to both the sides of a fresh pre-cut gasket. Make sure to use a primer on both the sides of the pre-cut gasket seal before the application of the Gasket Dressing.
LOCTITE gasket seal can be used on many different materials including metals, wood, rubber, plastic, ceramics, glass, and even concrete. The type of sealant selected for a specific application depends on the material to be sealed, environmental conditions, temperature, and operating pressures in the system.
In order to remove any old gasket seal parts, you can use LOCTITE SF 790 Chisel Gasket Remover.
Yes. LOCTITE has two types of gasket seal technologies - one is anaerobic and the other is high-performance Silicones. LOCTITE Anaerobic Gaskets are resistant to gasoline and fuel oils. LOCTITE High-Performance Silicones are 8 times more oil resistant than standard RTV silicones. Hence, they perform well when used to seal hot oil systems like oil pans. Both LOCTITE gasket sealants are definitely superior to ordinary silicones as the latter swell and lose their ability to seal when used to seal fluid systems.
To disassemble the flanges sealed with LOCTITE gasket seal, just use hand tools, and clean the flange surfaces with LOCTITE SF 790 Chisel Gasket Remover.
