Fluid Processing

THESE GAPS MAKE DESIGNS LEAK. We fill them.

Preventing leaks in fluid process equipment is one of manufacturers’ highest priorities. And doing so means designing for leak-free devices. It’s not easy. Gaps, or surface irregularities in flange and threaded pipe assemblies create leak paths that aren’t filled completely by conventional sealing methods like pre-cut gaskets and thread seal tape.

Gasket Leak Using Pre-Cut Gaskets

Leak in Threaded Pipe Using Thread Sealing Tape

That’s where LOCTITE® gasket and thread sealants can help. Our gasket and thread sealants can stop leaks. They completely fill gaps, forming reliable, long-lasting, high pressure seals.

Benefits of LOCTITE® Gasket and Thread Sealants

• Provides reliable seal because all surface irregularities are filled
• No extra machining required
• Prevents corrosion as it seals out moisture and air
• Instantly seals low pressure
• Easy to apply and disassemble
• Prevents self-loosening; does not shrink or crack
• High strength seals (10,000psi)
