Product details

Description

Permatex 80008 Form-A-Gasket Number 1 Sealant is a fast-drying, hard-setting liquid paste formulated specifically for sealing rigid materials and heavy-duty metal flanges. Designed primarily for permanent mechanical assemblies, this high-performance gasket dressing creates a firm, leak-proof barrier capable of withstanding extreme pressure and high temperatures up to 204 degrees Celsius (400 degrees Fahrenheit).

Ideal for auto mechanics, industrial technicians, and DIY enthusiasts, this solvent-based compound effectively seals freeze plugs, threaded connections, manifold gaskets, and rigid joints against fluids. Its robust formula offers resistance to common shop fluids, including gasoline, oil, and kerosene, preventing premature failure or leaks over time. Meeting MIL-S-45180 D specifications, this sealant ensures maximum durability when sealing metal-to-metal joints or reinforcing cut gaskets.

How to use

  1. Clean and dry all surface flanges thoroughly to remove oil, grease, and debris.
  2. Apply a thin, even coating of sealant to both mating surfaces or directly onto a cut gasket.
  3. Assemble the parts while the sealant is still wet and torque to required specs.
  4. Allow 24 hours for full cure.
