Loctite 518 is a general purpose, primerless, semi-flexible, form-in-place anaerobic flange sealant. It cures – even in the presence of minor surface contaminants – to seal close fitting joints between rigid metal flanges, and will flex with minor flange movements. It provides resistance to low pressures immediately after assembly of flanges, and is ideal for use on aluminum substrates where you need very good flexibility. Typically used as a form-in-place gasket for pumps, thermostats, compressors, transmission housings and axle covers, it not only works on active metals (e.g. mild steel) but also on passive substrates, such as aluminum with a low copper content. You can expect gap performance to 0.01” (0.25mm).
- Loctite 518 has better cure on contaminated surfaces, increased flexibility and adhesion and improved cure on inactive metals such as aluminum
- Loctite 518 gasket sealant is a medium strength gasket sealant which cures when confined in the absence of air between close fitting metal surfaces
- An anaerobic gasketing material designed for use on rigid iron, aluminum and steel flanged mating surfaces
- Seals up to 300 deg F, fills gaps up to 0.05 in and forms a flexible, chemical resistant seal that will not tear or decay
- Parts disassemble easily, even after extended service
- Cures through minor surface contamination
- Adapts to flange surface irregularities and gaps up to 0.25 mm
- Gel-type consistency
- Fills gap up to 0.005 in
