GASKET SEALANT

Yes, Bostik Gasket Sealant is suitable for use on vertical surfaces. Its non-slump formulation helps the sealant stay in place after application, making it suitable for vertical and overhead sealing applications.

For best results, apply the sealant to clean, dry surfaces and use a continuous, even bead as recommended in the application instructions.

Yes, Bostik Gasket Sealant is suitable for applications where vibration is present. Its RTV silicone formulation is designed to resist vibration and thermal cycling, helping to maintain a durable seal in demanding operating conditions.

This makes it suitable for automotive and equipment sealing applications where components may be exposed to movement, temperature changes and mechanical stress during normal operation.

Yes, excess Bostik Gasket Sealant can be removed.

If the sealant is still uncured, remove the excess using a suitable solvent. Once the sealant has fully cured, it must be removed mechanically.

For the best finish, remove excess sealant promptly after application and before full cure occurs.

To apply Bostik Gasket Sealant, first ensure all surfaces are clean, dry and free from dust, dirt, rust, oil and grease. Cut the nozzle to the required bead size and apply a continuous, even bead of sealant.

For best results, apply a bead approximately 2 to 4 mm wide using steady pressure. If required, smooth the sealant with a spatula dipped in mild detergent and then allow it to cure. The sealant typically becomes tack-free within 8 to 15 minutes and reaches full cure in approximately 24 hours.

Bostik Gasket Sealant typically becomes tack-free in approximately 8 to 15 minutes and reaches full cure in around 24 hours under normal conditions.

Cure times can vary depending on factors such as temperature, humidity, bead size and ventilation. For best results, allow the sealant to cure fully before placing the sealed component into service.

Bostik Gasket Sealant is designed for high-temperature applications and can withstand temperatures of up to 260°C under continuous exposure and 317°C intermittently.

Its RTV silicone formulation is also designed to resist vibration, thermal cycling, moisture, oil, water and automotive fluids, making it suitable for demanding sealing applications in automotive and equipment environments.

Store Bostik Gasket Sealant in a cool, dry place and keep the container tightly closed when not in use. Following the recommended storage conditions helps maintain product performance and maximise shelf life.

Always store the product according to the instructions provided on the packaging and technical data sheet, and protect it from conditions that could affect the sealant before use.

Before applying Bostik Gasket Sealant, make sure all surfaces are clean, dry and free from dust, dirt, rust, oil and grease. Proper surface preparation helps the sealant adhere correctly and achieve a reliable seal.

Once the surfaces have been prepared, apply a continuous, even bead of sealant using the recommended application method.

Yes, Bostik Gasket Sealant is designed to resist oil, water and automotive fluids, making it suitable for automotive and equipment sealing applications.

Its RTV silicone formulation is also resistant to vibration and thermal cycling, helping it maintain a durable seal in demanding operating environments.

Yes, Bostik Gasket Sealant is suitable for many automotive sealing applications. It is an RTV silicone sealant and gasket maker designed to provide a durable, flexible seal that resists heat, vibration, oil, water and automotive fluids.

It can be used on automotive components such as valve covers, timing covers, crankcases, radiators and thermostats, as well as for sealing flanged joints in a wide range of equipment.

Bostik Gasket Sealant is available in Red, Black and Grey colour options.

The choice of colour is typically based on the appearance requirements of the application or the component being sealed. All variants are designed for sealing, bonding and formed-in-place gasket applications.

Bostik Gasket Sealant can be used for sealing and bonding applications where a durable, flexible seal is required. It is suitable for use as a formed-in-place gasket (FIPG) on flanged joints in equipment such as transmissions, compressors and pumps.

It can also be used on valve covers, timing covers, crankcases, radiators and thermostats, as well as for other general-purpose sealing and bonding applications.
