Description
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION S.I.N.: 834-300
Permatex Sensor-Safe Blue RTV Silicone Gasket is a single
component, room temperature vulcanizing gasketing
compound designed to provide reliable “formed-in-place”
gaskets for mechanical assemblies. This material cures on
exposure to moisture in the air to form a tough, flexible,
silicone rubber gasket. The product resists aging, weathering
and thermal cycling without hardening, shrinking or cracking.
The original “Blue” gasketing product, refined and oxygen
sensor safe.
PRODUCT BENEFITS
• Superior adhesion and flexibility
• Sensor safe
• Replaces most cut gaskets
• Can be used as a gasket maker or dressing
• Easy application
• Non-flammable, Non-toxic
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Gasket maker for flexible flanges. Use as a sealant to coat
any precut gasket.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
For assembly as a form-in-place gasket
1. Remove all previous material from mating surfaces.
Permatex Gasket Remover is recommended for most
materials, not for plastics or painted surfaces.
2. For best results, clean and dry all surfaces with a
residue-free solvent, such as Permatex Brake and
Parts Cleaner.
3. Cut nozzle to desired bead size, 1/16“ to 1/4“ in
diameter. A 1/8” bead is usually sufficient for most
applications.
4. Remove cap, puncture tube or cartridge seal and attach
extension nozzle.
5. Apply a continuous and even bead of silicone to one
surface, first tracing the internal areas of the gasket
configuration, then all surrounding bolt holes as shown
below:
6. Assemble parts immediately while silicone is still wet.
7. Finger tighten flange only until material begins to seep
out the sides of the flange.
8. Allow to set for at least two hours and re-torque at lease
one quarter to one half turn.
9. For best results, allow to cure overnight.
For assembly as a gasket dressing
1. Repeat steps 1 thru 4 as in previous section.
2. Apply a thin film of silicone to one surface to be sealed.
3. Place the pre-cut gasket onto silicone film.
4. Apply a second thin to pre-cut gasket surface.
5. Remove any excess and assemble parts immediately.
Note: Product not recommended for use as a cylinder
head gasket or head gasket sealant.
Instructions for PowerBead
1. Clean and dry all flange surfaces to be sealed.
2. Remove black cap from top of extension nozzle.
3. Turn nozzle extension one complete turn (360°)
counterclockwise.
4. Depress finger trigger and apply a continuous 1/16 inch
to 1/8 inch PowerBead to one surface.
5. Assemble parts immediately while silicone is still wet.
6. Finger tighten flange only until material begins to seep
out the sides of the flange.
7. Allow to set for at least two hours and re-torque at least
one quarter to one half turn.
8. For best results, allow to cure overnight.
9. To close, turn extension nozzle clockwise until tight
(about one full turn). Wipe off excess material from
nozzle and replace black cap.
Storage of Unused Product
1. Create a “Silicone Plug” by allowing excess material to
extend beyond the extension nozzle or aerosol tip to
cure, sealing and protecting the remaining product from
moisture. For reuse, simply remove the cured product
from the tip.
2. For PowerBead dispensers, you may store remaining
product using either the above “silicone plug” method or
using the included plastic cap.
For Cleanup
1. Remove uncured product from parts and hand-tools
with Permatex Envirosafe® ODC Free
Cleaner/Degreaser. If skinned over, break film with a
dry cloth to remove as much as possible. Remove the
remaining material with Permatex
Gasket Remover.
2. Clean hands with a dry cloth or Permatex Fast
Orange hand cleaner.
TYPICAL CURING PERFORMANCE
Permatex Sensor-Safe Blue RTV Silicone Gasket cures on
exposure to moisture in the air. The product dries tack free in
one hour and fully cures in 24 hours. Cure times will vary with
temperature, humidity and gap. Note: The curing process can
cause corrosion to some surfaces, for critical applications use
the Ultra Series silicones.
GENERAL INFORMATION
This product is not recommended for use in pure oxygen
and/or oxygen rich systems and should not be selected as
a sealant for chlorine or other strong oxidizing materials.
