Description

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Permatex Clear Silicone Adhesive Sealant is a general
purpose, single component, room temperature vulcanizing
(RTV) compound, designed for the sealing of mechanical
assemblies. Upon curing from the exposure to moisture in the
air, this non-sagging paste forms a tough, flexible, waterproof
seal of silicone rubber, which resists aging, weathering and
thermal cycling without hardening, shrinking or cracking.
PRODUCT BENEFITS
• Easy application
• Applied to horizontal or vertical surfaces
• Superior adhesion and flexibility
• Waterproofs
• Insulates
• Unaffected by vibration
• Non-flammable
• Non-toxic

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
For Assembly
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 residuefree 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.
6. Assemble parts immediately while silicone is still wet.
Secure or tighten as required, avoiding excessive
squeeze-out.
7. Pressure should be applied to parts for 24 hours until the
silicone is fully cured.
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. Apply a continuous and even bead of silicone to one
surface.
6. Assemble parts immediately while silicone is still wet.
Secure or tighten as required, avoiding excessive
squeeze-out.
7. Pressure should be applied to parts for 24 hours until the
silicone is fully cured.
8. 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 Brake and Parts Cleaner. 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 Clear RTV Silicone Adhesive Sealant cures on
exposure to moisture in the air. The product cures tack free in
1 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.
