Medium-strength, general purpose gasketing product - excellent contamination tolerance.
Ideal for use on casted iron, steel and aluminum flanges.
LOCTITE 518 cures when confined in the absence of air between close-fitting metal surfaces.
It is an anaerobic gasketing material designed for use on rigid iron, aluminum, and steel flanged mating surfaces.
Fills gaps up to 0.25mm and forms a flexible, chemical-resistant seal that will not tear or decay.
Parts disassemble easily, even after extended service.
Typical applications include sealing close-fitting joints between rigid metal faces and flanges.
It is also used as a formed-in-place gasket on rigid flanged connections, e.g. transmissions and engine housings.
NEW: Henkel has recently improved the product formulation of LOCTITE 518 providing: Higher strength on contaminated surfaces Better flexibility and improved adhesion Enhanced sealing capability Improved gap cure High performance on passive metals without an activator
