LOCTITE® 515 Gasket Maker
Medium Strength Anaerobic Flange Sealant
LOCTITE® 515 is a medium strength (6 N/mm² tensile shear strength), medium cure speed, methacrylate-based industrial gasketing product designed for machined, rigid metal flanges. This form-in-place sealant cures anaerobically when confined in the absence of air between close fitting metal surfaces.
Key Features
- Medium Strength: 6 N/mm² tensile shear strength
- Gap Filling: Suitable for gaps up to 0.25mm
- Flexible: Will flex with minor flange movements during service
- Anaerobic Curing: Cures only in the absence of air
- 30 Minute Fixture Time: Fast assembly capability
- UV Fluorescent: Allows visual inspection of the applied bead
Performance Benefits
- Eliminates preformed, pre-cut gaskets made of paper, rubber, and cork
- Provides resistance to low pressures immediately after assembly
- Seals close-fitting joints between rigid metal faces and flanges
- Small surface scratches are filled by the adhesive
- OEM approved where 515 or "anaerobic" gasket is specified
- Reduces inventory with a one-size-fits-all solution
