Permatex Anaerobic Gasket Maker

Overview

Permatex Anaerobic Gasket Maker is a single-component, medium-strength, thixotropic, anaerobic sealant that cures rapidly when confined in the absence of air between close-fitting aluminum surfaces. It provides a tough, resilient, solvent- and temperature-resistant seal that flexes with flange movement caused by vibration, pressurization or thermal changes. Non-corrosive to aluminum or cast iron parts, with no mixing required and no curing outside of the joint. NSF White Book registered.
