GASKET SEALANT

Once fully cured, Bostik Gasket Sealant maintains its flexibility and sealing performance up to **260°C under continuous exposure and up to 317°C under intermittent exposure**. **Bostik Gasket Sealant RED is specifically designed for high-temperature applications and can withstand intermittent temperatures of up to 317°C.

Yes. It is formulated as a high-temperature gasket maker and automotive sealant and is suitable for applications involving oil, water, automotive fluids, vibration and thermal cycling.

Bostik Gasket Sealant is an RTV silicone sealant and formed-in-place gasket (FIPG) material designed for sealing and bonding applications. It can be used for flanged joints in transmissions, compressors, pumps and other equipment, as well as valve and timing covers, crankcases, radiators and thermostats.

Yes. Its non-slump formulation makes it suitable for application on vertical and overhead surfaces.

Ensure the surfaces are clean and dry, cut the nozzle to the desired bead size and apply a continuous, even 2–4 mm bead. Avoid repositioning the sealant once the skin has formed and allow it to cure fully.

Under standard curing conditions, the sealant develops a tack-free surface within approximately 8–15 minutes and typically reaches full cure within 24 hours. Actual curing time depends on temperature and humidity.

Yes. The cured silicone rubber provides resistance to vibration and thermal cycling, helping maintain sealing performance under demanding conditions.

Yes. Uncured excess can be removed with a cloth dampened with mineral turpentine or an appropriate solvent. Once fully cured, the sealant can be removed mechanically by trimming.

Store the product in its original, unopened packaging in cool, dry conditions. The stated shelf life is 18 months. Once opened, reseal the package immediately after use to minimise moisture exposure.

Before applying Bostik Gasket Sealant, make sure all surfaces are clean, dry and free from grease, oil, dust, rust and other contaminants.

Remove any old gasket material or loose residue and ensure the mating surfaces are in good condition before applying the sealant. Proper surface preparation helps achieve the best sealing performance and adhesion.

Yes, Bostik Gasket Sealant is resistant to oil, water and automotive fluids. It is designed for sealing applications where components may be exposed to fluid contact, vibration and changing operating conditions.

Bostik Gasket Sealant can be used as a formed-in-place gasket for applications such as transmissions, compressors, pumps and other mechanical equipment that require durable sealing performance.

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

1. Ensure surfaces are clean; dry free from grease and loose materials.
2. For best results, surfaces and surroundings should be pleasantly warm.
3. Take out a sheet of dots from the wallet.
4. Fold and then tear off, along the perforations, to remove as many dots as required.

The shelf life of adhesives varies from product to product, but typically ranges between one and two years from the date of manufacture when unopened and stored correctly in dry conditions - usually between +5°C and +25°C. Once opened, the life of the product will be more limited – this is dictated by variables including the type of adhesive, how it is stored, and how much adhesive is left unused.
